Configuring link traffic test parameters
You can conifigure these parameters to improve accuracy and to measure link performance on
stress conditions with more traffic.
1. Enter the number of frames to use in the traffic test in the Number of Frames field.
Minimum is 1 million (default). Maximum is 2,147,483,647 million.
2. Enter the duration you want the test to run in the Duration Hours and Minutes fields.
This option is mutually exclusive of frames option.
Minimum is 0 hours and 1 minute (default). Maximum is 99 hours and 59 minutes.
3. Enter the frame size you want for the traffic test in the Frame Size field.
Minimum is 36 bytes. Maximum is 2236 bytes. Default is 1024 bytes.

used
No. of test frames: numerical_value Million
Duration of test (HH:MM): hours:minutes
Test frame size: numerical_value Bytes
Payload Pattern: pattern_name or frame_data
FEC (enabled/active): Yes/No
CR (enabled/active): Yes/No
Start time: day month date hour:minute:seconds year
End time: day month date hour:minute:seconds year
NOTE: If you do not set a payload pattern, results do not show payload
pattern.
If any test fails, that test displays
as failed and a Failure report
displays.
Sample failure report :
Errors detected (local): CRC, Bad_EOF, Enc_out
Errors detected (remote): CRC, Bad_EO
Run portstatsshow and porterrshow for more detail on the errors.
