Description
For tcpprivate/udpprivate/jitter test, you must specify a
destination port number, and the destination port
number must be the port number of a TCP or UDP
listening service configured on the HWPing server.
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 for details.
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.
