DUT_CLASS: Specifies if DUT is a bridging device such as an Ethernet hub or switch. This parameter is not
currently used by PVA software but is reserved for future use.
PVA_TEST_RESULTS_PATH: This parameter, if provided, will override the default test reporting path found in the
psa_env.txt environment file and guide all test results and reports to the specified directory path that can be DUT type
or model specific. This assures that reporting by DUT type is isolated and distinct. The PHY Performance Test Suite
(see Section 5 utilizes this information for storage of test reports to non-default locations.
In combined PSA-PVA environments where a device-under-test might be power sourcing switches (PSE), the DUT
Local Configuration file may also carry additional information that is pertinent to the PoE characteristics of those
DUT’s. These additional parameters are described in the following table:
PSE Parameter Type
