Chapter 1 HWPing Configuration
Description
For DHCP test, you must specify a source
interface, which will be used by HWPing
client to send DHCP requests. If no source
interface is specified for a DHCP test, the test
will not succeed.
After a source interface is specified, HWPing
client uses this source interface to send
DHCP requests during a DHCP test.
The IP address of the specified source
interface will be used as the source IP
address of DHCP requests.
For HWPing tests other than DHCP test, you
can specify a source IP address for test packets,
which will be used by the server as the
destination address of response packets.
For HWPing tests other than ICMP, DHCP and
DNS, you can specify a source port number for
test packets, which will be used by the server as
the destination port number of response
packets.
You can use HWPing to test a variety of
protocols, see Table 1-1
To perform a type of test, you must first
create a test group of this type. One test
group can be of only one HWPing test type.
If you modify the test type of a test group
using the test-type command, the parameter
settings, test results, and history records of
the original test type will be all cleared.
For tests except jitter test, only one test
packet is sent in a probe. In a jitter test, you
can use the jitter-packetnum command to
set the number of packets to be sent in a
probe.
For ICMP/UDP/jitter test, you can configure
the size of test packets.
For ICMP test, the ICMP packet size refers to
the length of ECHO-REQUEST packets
(excluding IP and ICMP headers)
This parameter is used to specify the maximum
number of history records that can be saved in a
test group. When the number of saved history
records exceeds the maximum number,
HWPing discards some earliest records.
This parameter is used to set the interval at
which the HWPing client periodically performs
the same test automatically.
The probe timeout timer is started after the
HWPing client sends out a test packet.
This parameter is in seconds.
