Test Mode pane
The RFC2544 test mode and test port(s) are set at the Test Mode pane.
Note
The RFC2544 tests run independently on two ports. If both ports
are selected, the port panes display the Port A/B soft key. Use this
soft key to select which port to set.
The RFC2544 Throughput test can run in three modes:
Mode Description
Switch Router Test
In this mode Network Master tests the
data link layer on a connected switch or
router. Both ports must be active and
linked. The IP and MAC addresses must
be swapped, ensuring that the switch
forwards frames from port A to port B
and
vice versa.
Single Ended
Network Test
This test is used when testing network by
reflecting traffic back to the Network
Master. It requires a device to reflect the
traffic back, such as a second Network
Master in reflector mode.
End to End Network
Test
In this test mode, two Network Master
units work together performing a
RFC2544 test. The unit initiating the test
is the Master and the other unit is the
Slave. Control data is sent from the
Master on port A (or port B if only port B
is used). When the test is started on the
Master, the unit will try to contact the
Slave on the control port using the
Destination IP and MAC address (or
using ARP if selected). If the slave
receives the communication on a port
with matching Source address, the test
begins.
Note
Apart from the Address setup, both the Master and Slave Network
Master should have the Accept incoming End-to-End configuration
frames option enabled. See section 3.2.3 Interface Advanced setup.
