Selecting a layer 3 IP test
IPv4 and IPv6 applications are available for layer 3 IP testing.
You must select an IPv4 test application if you intend to:
– Establish PPPoE sessions on electrical circuits.
– Transmit and analyze MPLS encapsulated traffic over
electrical or optical circuits.
To select a layer 3 IP test
1 Do one of the following:
– If you haven’t already done so, launch the application
for the circuit you are testing (see “Launching an appli-
cation” on page 28), and then proceed to step 2.
If you are testing a circuit carrying IPv4 traffic, be
certain to launch the application using the ETH ELEC
or ETH OPTIC softkey.
If you are testing a circuit carrying IPv6 traffic, be
certain to launch the application using the IPv6 ELEC
or IPv6 OPTIC softkey.
– If you already launched your application and selected
a test, but you want to change the test, go to the Test
Mode menu, and then select the Test setting.
A list of tests for the application appears.
2 Highlight and select one of the following:
– Layer 3 IP Traffic. Select this test to transmit or
analyze standard layer 3 traffic.
Error Messages ICMPv4 messages appear in
the Message result category.
ICMPv6 messages appear in
the Message result category.
