2 Network Testing with the FrameScope Pro
Setting the Network for RFC 2544 Tests
The network settings have to be adjusted to ensure that the test
can run.
• NAT has to be disabled or the IP and MAC addresses of the
FrameScope Pro should be allowed to pass through.
• Firewalls have to be disabled or should allow the IP and MAC
addresses of the FrameScope Pro to pass through.
• ICMP ports need to be freed up for the network-under-test
(for information request and reply).
• UDP ports 7 (slave UDP port) and 7777 (master UDP port)
needs to be vacated for the network-under-test.
• During an RFC2544 test, the FrameScope Pro has a default
timeout duration after a MAC reset. If the peer does not
respond within the stipulated time, the RFC 2544 test will
not start and will result in a timeout. Different switches may
have different response times after a MAC reset. You should
select a suitable and appropriate timeout period for the
switches-under-test with reference to the equipment
requirements as supplied by the supplier or vendor.
