Test Types Supported by HWPing

Table 1-1 Test types supported by HWPing

Supported test types

Description

ICMP test

DHCP test

FTP test

HTTP test

DNS test

SNMP test

For these types of tests, you need to configure the HWPing client and
corresponding servers.

Jitter test

Tcppublic test

TCP test

Tcpprivate test

Udppublic test

UDP test

Udpprivate test

z

These types of tests need the cooperation of the HWPing client and
HWPing server.

z

Do not perform a TCP, UDP or jitter test on a well-known port (ports
with a number ranging from 1 to 1023). Otherwise, your HWPing
test may fail or the service corresponding to the well-known port
may become unavailable.

HWPing Test Parameters

You need to configure corresponding test parameters for each type of HWPing test. HWPing test

parameters can be configured on HWPing client only. For the configurations on the HWPing client, refer

to section

HWPing Client Configuration

.

Table 1-2 HWPing test parameters

Test parameter

Description

Destination address
(destination-ip)

For a TCP/UDP/jitter test, you must specify a destination IP address, and the
destination address must be the IP address of a TCP/UDP/UDP listening service
configured on the HWPing server.

Destination port
(destination-port)

For a tcpprivate/udpprivate/jitter test, you must specify a destination port
number, and the destination port number must be the port number of a TCP or
UDP listening service configured on the HWPing server.

Source interface
(source-interface)

z

For a DHCP test, you must specify a source interface, which will be used by
the HWPing client to send DHCP requests. If no source interface is specified
for the DHCP test, the test will not succeed.

z

After a source interface is specified, the HWPing client uses this source
interface to send DHCP requests during the 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 tests, 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.
