Explanation
Test parameters:
Loop:
Use the Loop Mode to set what should be looped.
- only those packets sent to own MAC (promiscuous mode off)
L1: Only Loop packets sent to own MAC address and broadcast packets.
L2: Only Loop those packets sent to own MAC address.
Broadcasts will be discarded.
- Loop all packets (promiscuous mode on)
L1: All packets (including Broadcast packets) will be looped.
L2: All packets - with the exception of Broadcast packets - will be looped.
Broadcasts will be discarded.
Default setting:
only own MAC
This setting determines the OSI Model layer that will be used for the Loop.
- L1: In the case of Loop, all incoming Ethernet frames on Layer 1 (L1) will be
sent back to the sender unchanged.
- L2: In the case of Loop on Layer 2 (L2) of the OSI model, the ARGUS will
swap the source MAC address with the destination MAC address and then
send all incoming Ethernet frames back to the sender.
Default setting:
L2
