Test parameter
Description
Probe timeout time
(
timeout
)
z
The probe timeout timer is started after the HWPing
client sends out a test packet.
z
This parameter is in seconds.
Type of service (
tos
)
Type of service is the value of the ToS field in IP header
in the test packets.
dns
This parameter is used to specify a DNS domain name
in a HWPing DNS test group.
dns-server
This parameter is used to set the DNS server IP
address in a HWPing DNS test group.
HTTP operation type
(
http-operation
)
This parameter is used to set the type of HTTP
interaction operation between HWPing client and HTTP
server.
HTTP operation string
and version (
http-string
)
This parameter is used to set the HTTP operation string
and version in an HTTP test.
FTP operation type
(
ftp-operation
)
This parameter is used to set the type of FTP interaction
operation between HWPing client and FTP server.
FTP login username and
password (
username
and
password
)
The two parameters are used to set the username and
password to be used for FTP operation.
File name for FTP
operation (
filename
)
Name of a file to be transferred between HWPing client
and FTP server
Number of jitter test
packets to be sent per
probe (
jitter-packetnum
)
z
Jitter test is used to collect statistics about delay jitter
in UDP packet transmission
z
In a jitter probe, the HWPing client sends a series of
packets to the HWPing server at regular intervals
(you can set the interval). Once receiving such a
packet, the HWPing server marks it with a
timestamp, and then sends it back to the HWPing
client. Upon receiving a packet returned, the
HWPing client computes the delay jitter time. The
HWPing 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.
Interval to send jitter test
packets (
jitter-interval
)
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.
Trap
z
A HWPing 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.
z
You can set the number of consecutive failed
HWPing tests before Trap output. You can also set
the number of consecutive failed HWPing probes
before Trap output.
