Test parameter
Description
Source interface (
source-interface
)
z
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.
z
After a source interface is specified, HWPing client
uses this source interface to send DHCP requests
during a DHCP test.
z
The IP address of the specified source interface will be
used as the source IP address of DHCP requests.
Source address (
source-ip
)
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.
Source port (
source-port
)
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.
Test type (
test-type
)
z
You can use HWPing to test a variety of protocols, see
Table 1-1
for details.
z
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.
Number of probes per test (
count
)
z
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.
Packet size (
datasize
)
z
For ICMP/UDP/jitter test, you can configure the size of
test packets.
z
For ICMP test, the ICMP packet size refers to the
length of ECHO-REQUEST packets (excluding IP and
ICMP headers)
Maximum number of history records
that can be saved (
history-records
)
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.
Automatic test interval (
frequency
)
This parameter is used to set the interval at which the
HWPing client periodically performs the same test
automatically.
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.
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.
