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
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.
File name for FTP operation (filename)
Name of a file to be transferred between HWPing client and FTP
server
