5 If you need to specify other settings for the test, use the
left and right arrow keys to go to the appropriate configu-
ration menu; otherwise, press the Home button to return
to the Summary Results screen.
The settings are specified for transmitted frames.
Configuring the
traffic load
Before transmitting traffic, you can specify the type of traffic
load the unit will transmit (Constant, Bursty, Ramp, or Flood)
in 0.001% increments, beginning at 0.002%. The settings vary
depending on the type of load.
VLAN
(appears only if Encapsula-
tion is VLAN)
– VLAN ID
– User Priority
CVLAN
(appears only if Encapsula-
tion is Q-in-Q)
– CVLAN ID
– User Priority
SVLAN
(appears only if Encapsula-
tion is Q-in-Q)
– SVLAN ID

– SVLAN TPID
– SVLAN DEI Bit
Setting Parameters
NOTE:
If you configure the HST-3000 to transmit a constant,
bursty, or ramped load of 100%, the unit is designed to
transmit slightly less than 100% traffic (99.99% for 1G opti-
cal Ethernet and 10/100/1G electrical Ethernet) as a safe-
guard against overrunning network elements that can not
support 100%. If you are certain the elements can support
true 100% traffic, configure your unit to transmit a flood
load (see
“Transmitting a flooded load” on page 65).
