Configuring layer 3 IP tests
Before transmitting layer 3 traffic over a link, you can specify
settings that characterize the IP traffic and indicate the type of
traffic load to transmit. You can also specify settings that filter
received traffic for analysis.
Specifying
frame
characteristics
Before you transmit layer 3 IP traffic, you can specify the
frame characteristics of the traffic, such as the destination
address type, frame type, and encapsulation settings (if appli-
cable).
To specify frame characteristics for layer 3 traffic
1 If you haven’t already done so, launch your IPv4 or IPv6
application (see “Launching an application” on page 28),
and then select a test (see the appropriate procedure
below:
– “Selecting a layer 3 IP test” on page 120
– “Selecting a multiple streams test” on page 182
2 Press the Configure navigation key.
A configuration menu appears.
3 Use the left and right arrow keys to go to the Ethernet
menu, and specify the frame characteristics (see “Speci-
fying frame characteristics” on page 51).
4 If you launched an IPv4 application, and you want to
transmit MPLS encapsulated traffic, specify the following
settings:
