Destination IPv4
address from
Establishes the origin of the destination IPv4 address for the
current stream. There are three different settings available
for configuration:
• Manual: The destination address is set to the value config-
ured in Destination IPv4 address.
• Range: Test data in the current stream is transmitted to a
group of IPv4 addresses configured with Destination IPv4
address and Address range size. Use this option if you
want to deliver the test data sequentially to many different
destinations.
Destination IPv4
address from
• Host name: Uses the Domain Name Service (DNS) to set
the destination IP address by using descriptive alphanu-
meric strings. The DNS mechanism requires intervention
of at least one DNS server. The DNS server IP address
has to be configured in the local port profile either statically
or by means DHCP.
• Remote: This option is available only in RFC 2544 or
eSAM upstream asymmetric tests (See section 7.4). It
configures the destination IP address to be the far end
address.
Destination IPv4
address
Destination IPv4 address carried by the packets generated in
the current stream if Destination IPv4 address from is set to
Manual.
The address is entered in decimal, four-dotted format. Any
address between 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 is admitted as
a destination IPv4 address.
Destination IPv4
address (DNS)
Destination IPv4 address carried by the packets generated in
the current stream if Destination IPv4 address from is set to
Host name.
This is a read only field that it cannot be edited directly. It dis-
plays the result of the DNS name resolution carried out with
the host name configured in Destination host name.
