Frame Relay Ping

A PING test verifies whether a route exists to any given IP address as depicted

in figure 21.

The Agilent Advisor provides static ping measurement capabilities by sending

IP-ICMP echo requests and then waiting for the ICMP echo reply from the

destination address.

The ping tests run with LMI emulation off or on for the following options:

•UNI-User Emulation

•UNI-Network Emulation

•NNI Emulation (bi-directional polling)

The test supports the following Frame Relay Standards:

•ITU-T Q.933 Annex A

•ANSI T1.617 Annex D

•Original Frame Relay Consortium (Original LMI)

PING without LMI can be selected

PING configuration selections are:

•Destination IP address

•Source IP address

•Layer 2 address or DLCI

•Number of ICMP data bytes (range between 1 and 1400)

•Number of requests

•Continuous or select between 1 and 9999 requests and specify time-out

(from 1ms to 10000ms)

•Encapsulation Ether type and RFC 1490/RFC 2427

Simulate mode can be either DTE or DCE

Buffer Retransmission

The Agilent Advisor can capture a data file and then retransmit the frames back

to the network to replicate any particular network condition.
