Des. MAC address
from
Establishes the origin of the destination MAC address for the
current stream. There are three different settings available
for configuration:
• ARP: Uses the Address Resolution Protocol (IETF
RFC 826) to configure the destination MAC address with-
out user intervention. The ARP requires the IPv4 destina-
tion address to be previously configured to work. For this
reason, ARP is available only in IP endpoint mode.
• Manual: The destination address is set to the value config-
ured in Destination MAC address.
• Range: Test data in the current stream is transmitted to a
group of MAC addresses configured with Destination MAC
address and Address number within range. Use this option
if you want to deliver the test data sequentially to many dif-
ferent destinations.
• Port A / Port B: Configures the opposite port in the same
unit as the destination for the traffic. Port B is displayed as
one of the accepted destinations for Port A and Port A is
shown in Port B with the same purpose.
• Remote: This option is available only in RFC 2544 or
eSAM upstream asymmetric tests (See section 7.4). It
configures the destination MAC address to be the far end
address.
Destination MAC
address
Destination MAC address carried by the frames generated in
the current stream if Des. MAC address type is set to Man-
ual. If Des. MAC address type is set to Range, this field con-
tains the first destination MAC address within the range.
Anything from 00:00:00:00:00:00 to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff is allowed for
this field.
