RFC2544/NE Testing
RJ-45 – RJ-45
• If you need to change the connection, touch first the TX port, then the RX
port you want to have work with it.
• Pair the TX port with the matching RX port, unless otherwise indicated by
your design.
• Active ports are shown in green; you may not reassign those ports.
The most common method of using RFC2544 for testing Ethernet services, as
opposed to Ethernet devices, is to transmit frames through the network to the far
end, where they are looped back and sent back to the test module. In this
configuration, the TX and RX test port should be the same.
However, there are times when the TX and RX test port need to be different, such as
when testing a switch or when the TX and RX line rates are different. For example, if
you were to transmit from a 10GE port to a GE port, the throughput rate couldn’t be
higher than 10%, since 1 Gigabit Ethernet is 10% of the bandwidth of 10 Gigabit
Ethernet.
