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.
z
If you modify the test type of a test group
using the
test-type
command, the parameter
settings, test results, and history records of
the original test type will be all cleared.
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.
