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 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.
The probe timeout timer is started after the
HWPing client sends out a test packet.
This parameter is in seconds.
