NT10G05 USER MANUAL 

76-02-105 Rev.B 

 

Page 14 of 80 

3  Quick Start 

This section will give a simple introduction into how to use the NT10G05 to perform a 
simple L2 RFC-2544 test on a network. 

 

In this example, a service provider is providing a point to point, E-LINE service 
between two customer sites.  The customer is using the NT10G05 to verify that the 
network service provided is as per the agreed SLA. 

To configure the NT10G05, configure the IP address of a laptop to be on the 
169.254.0.0/16 subnet, and open a web browser session to the NT10G05 default IP 
address 169.254.42.42.
