1-2 

Among the test types supported by remote-ping, only the ICMP test can be performed when XRN fabric 

is enabled; all other test types cannot be performed when XRN fabric is enabled. 

Table 1-1 Test types supported by remote-ping 

ICMP test 

DHCP test 

FTP test 

HTTP test 

DNS test 

SNMP test 

For these types of tests, you need to configure the remote-ping 
client and corresponding servers. 

Jitter test 

Tcppublic test 

TCP test 

Tcpprivate test 

Udppublic test 

UDP test 

Udpprivate test 

z 

These types of tests need the cooperation of the remote-ping 
client and remote-ping server. 

z 

Do not perform a TCP, UDP or jitter test on a well-known port 
(ports with a number ranging from 1 to 1023). Otherwise, 
your remote-ping test may fail or the service corresponding to 
the well-known port may become unavailable.  

 

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 the remote-ping 

client, refer to section 

. 

Table 1-2 remote-ping test parameters 

Destination address 
(destination-ip) 

For a 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 a 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) 

z 

For a DHCP test, you must specify a source interface, which will be 
used by the remote-ping client to send DHCP requests. If no source 
interface is specified for the DHCP test, the test will not succeed. 

z 

After a source interface is specified, the remote-ping client uses this 
source interface to send DHCP requests during the DHCP test. 

z 

The IP address of the specified source interface will be used as the 
source IP address of DHCP requests. 

Source address 
(source-ip) 

For remote-ping tests other than DHCP tests, you can specify a source 
IP address for test packets, which will be used by the server as the 
destination address of response packets. 

Source port 
(source-port) 

For remote-ping tests other than ICMP, DHCP and DNS, you can specify 
a source port number for test packets, which will be used by the server 
as the destination port number of response packets.
