This screen allows you to specify your test mode and select which RFC 2544
tests to carry out.
4 different test modes are available:
Switch/Router test
Router latency test
End to end network test
Single ended network test
Switch/Router test uses two ports to perform tests.
When only one port is selected at starting RFC 2544 application, it is not able to start
Switch/Router test.
Select the test mode to define your test configuration. See the description of the
test modes below.
Select one or more of the following RFC 2544 tests:
ThroughputThroughput
Frame lossFrame loss
Throughput and frame LossThroughput and frame Loss
LatencyLatency
BurstBurst
For each test that you select, a separate test setup screen will become available,
containing the relevant setup parameters for that test. Similarly, the test results will
include only the tests that you have selected in 'Test Selection'.
Test Mode DescriptionsTest Mode Descriptions
In this test mode one instrument is able to test, e.g. the data link layer of a
switch or router. Both ports must be active and linked in this mode, with port 2
in follow port 1 mode. IP and MAC-addresses must be swapped, ensuring that
the switch will forward frames from port 1 to port 2 and vice versa.
