4.18.6. Example 6: Establish and Verify Packet Forwarding in a Switch
Test Ports 1,1 and 1,2 need to be connected to a DUT that supports packet forwarding. Verify that both ports 1,1 and
1,2 are linked before performing the following tasks.
Hint: Pre-configure test ports for AUTO Address on All Ports – this will assure that packets originated in test port 1,1
are addressed to test port 1,2 and visa versa. Also, be sure to prime any switch bridging logic prior to forwarding
packets.
# Example 6 script
# Using PVA-3102 in slot,port 1,1 for Tx, 1,2 for Rx
# Configure MAC Addresses for transmission 1,1 to 1,2 and back
