The LinkRunner 10G has out-of-the-box AutoTest profiles with best practice
pass/fail thresholds for quick assessment of network configurations and
services.
AutoTest Element Configurations include:
• Switch port PoE validation up to 90W from PSE and TruePower™ load
testing
• 802.1x authentication
• Link speed/duplex advertised vs. actual, Multi-Gig link SNR measurement
• VLAN Tagged traic detection & monitoring
• Switch port identification with interface stats, connected devices and
drill-down
• DHCP availability, response time, automatic detection of 2nd DHCP oer,
and connect log
• DNS lookup (forward/reverse) availability and response time
• Gateway availability and response time
• Active connection test targets (Ping or TCP Connect)
• End-user response time measurement via HTTP
Multiple profiles can be created for complex networks with multiple VLANs
supported per switch port, each with its own set of IP targets. These can then
be organized into profile groups that execute each test against each profile in
sequence. The result is that multiple VLANs can be verified and documented
in one go. Since the pre-defined profiles can be executed individually, the
profiles group serves as a resource for technicians to verify each specific VLAN
during troubleshooting. With profile groups, engineers can transfer their
network configuration and test knowledge to technicians, saving training time
and eort.
Multi-Gig Link Validation
With the expanding deployment of Multi-Gig switching (typically to feed
greater bandwidth to Wi-Fi 6 access points), users are finding that their
cable plant may not support the desired speed. Cable quality, length,
installation workmanship, and noise in the environment all can contribute to
“downshiing” to lower-than-expected speeds.
• Cabling SNR Measurement – LinkRunner 10G can now verify copper media
for Multi-Gig capability (1 / 2.5 / 5 / 10Gig), and provide root cause diagnosis
when link speed downshiing occurs.
24-Hour Monitoring for Intermittent Issues
Periodic AutoTest - In this mode, AutoTest runs at specified intervals (from
1 minute to 24 hours) and sends the results to Link-Live to view the results
over time. This is an eective way to “monitor” aspects of your network for
an extended period, or to help diagnose intermittent issues without having to
manually execute multiple tests. Results are automatically timestamped and
can be prefixed with a user-entered comment for grouping or organization.
Test results can be quickly analyzed in Link-Live using the filtering and sorting
functions. Email notifications can warn you when errors are found.
