874 CHAPTER 81: REMOTE-PING CONFIGURATION
Test Types Supported by
Remote-ping
Among the test types supported by remote-ping, only the ICMP test can be
performed when IRF fabric is enabled; all other test types cannot be performed
when IRF fabric is enabled.
Remote-ping Test
Parameters
You need to configure corresponding test parameters for each type of
remote-ping test. remote-ping test parameters can be configured on remote-ping
client only. For the configurations on remote-ping client, refer to “Remote-ping
Client Configuration” on page 877.
Table 690 Test types supported by remote-ping
Supported test types Description
ICMP test For these types of tests, you need to configure the
remote-ping client and the corresponding servers.
DHCP test
FTP test
HTTP test
DNS test
SNMP test
Jitter test
■ These types of tests need the cooperation of the
remote-ping client and remote-ping server.
■ Do not perform a TCP, UDP or jitter test on a
well-known port (ports with a number ranging
from 1 to 1023) or on a port with a port number
greater than 50000. Otherwise, your remote-ping
test may fail or the service corresponding to the
well-known port may become unavailable.
TCP test Tcppublic test
Tcpprivate test
UDP test Udppublic test
Udpprivate test
Table 691 Remote-ping test parameters
Test parameter Description
Destination address (destination-ip) For TCP/UDP/jitter test, you must specify a
destination IP address, and the destination
address must be the IP address of a
TCP/UDP/UDP listening service configured
on the remote-ping server.
Destination port (destination-port) For tcpprivate/udpprivate/jitter test, you
must specify a destination port number, and
the destination port number must be the
port number of a TCP or UDP listening
service configured on the remote-ping
server.
Source interface (source-interface)
■ For DHCP test, you must specify a source
interface, which will be used by
remote-ping client to send DHCP
requests. If no source interface is
specified for a DHCP test, the test will
not succeed.
■ After a source interface is specified,
remote-ping client uses this source
interface to send DHCP requests during a
DHCP test.
■ The IP address of the specified source
interface will be used as the source IP
address of DHCP requests.
