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.
