remote-ping Configuration

The TCP/UDP/jitter tests need the cooperation of remote-ping client and remote-ping server. Other
types of tests need to configure remote-ping client and corresponding different servers.
You can enable both the remote-ping client and remote-ping server functions on the switch, that is, the
switch can serve as a remote-ping client and server simultaneously.
remote-ping Server Configuration
The following table describes the configuration on remote-ping server, which is the same for
remote-ping test types that need to configure remote-ping server.
Follow these steps to perform remote-ping server configurations:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable the remote-ping
server function
Configure a UDP
listening service
Configure a TCP
listening service
Name of a file to be transferred between remote-ping client and FTP
server
Size of a file to be uploaded in an FTP test
Jitter test is used to collect statistics about delay jitter in UDP packet
transmission
In a jitter probe, the remote-ping client sends a series of packets to
the remote-ping server at regular intervals (you can set the interval).
Once receiving such a packet, the remote-ping server marks it with a
timestamp, and then sends it back to the remote-ping client. Upon
receiving a packet returned, the remote-ping client computes the
delay jitter time. The remote-ping client collects delay jitter statistics
on all the packets returned in the test. So, the more packets a jitter
probe sends, the more accurate the jitter statistics is, but the longer
time the jitter test costs.
Each jitter probe will send multiple UDP test packets at regular intervals
(you can set the interval). The smaller the interval is, the faster the test is.
But a too small interval may somewhat impact your network.
A remote-ping test will generate a Trap message no matter whether
the test successes or not. You can use the Trap switch to enable or
disable the output of trap messages.
You can set the number of consecutive failed remote-ping tests
before Trap output. You can also set the number of consecutive failed
remote-ping probes before Trap output.
Use the command...
