IP Ping Testing
IP Testing Home
The IP test tests end-to-end connectivity between active IP stations, providing
various performance related statistics. This feature includes four generic testing
methods (IP Test Types) for IP networks:
• Ping Test : Commonly used to discover whether two remote LAN segments,
using TCP-IP protocol, are connected
• Trace Route Test : Trace the route to the far end device
• FTP: Web transfer testing.
• HTTP : Web access testing.
Ping and trace route tests typically requires two XTT 5000 modules, or a XTT 5000
and a MTT-28 or -29 module. However, the ping test can also be used to ping a
distant router directly, provided its IP address or URL are known, and the end router
has been configured to respond to pings. Also note that some networks are set to
not allow ping packets through. In that case, this test will not provide useful
results.
See the application diagram .
Caution : If you are sending packets to your responder via a router or other
device with its own IP address, make sure to set the Dst MAC to the MAC address
of the router, NOT the responder. Otherwise, the router will likely discard the
packets (without ARP in use).If you are staying down at layer 2 (MAC) this does not
apply. IP works fine if all the devices are on the same
local network segment; this is
ent.
To perform IP testing, select IP TEST from the menu
applies when sending traffic off your local network segm
