9.3. Test Tasks
– Layer 3
For available Layer 3 tasks and their descriptions, please refer to “1.2.3. Performance Task in Layer 3
(PT3) .”
The general task setting options available for Layer 3 Performance Task are almost identical to those
available for Layer 2 Performance Task and can be related. However, some features and settings in Layer
2 Performance Task are different from those in Layer 3 Performance Task, which will be listed and
explained in the following chapters.
9.3.1. Performance Task Layer 3 – Ping
As a network utility, Ping is widely used for testing if one specific host is reachable through its IP address.
Also, Ping can be used to measure the time it takes to transmit packets from a local host to the
designated computer located on a network and back.
A. Setup

IP Address Table: Since Ping is a network utility based on TCP/IP protocol, you have to assign
IP addresses to the Port A/B first on the IP Address Table.
Take the figure above as an example: the Port A/B will be assigned an IP Address (192.168.10.1),
a Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0), and a Gateway (192.168.1.254). The Port A will ping the IP
address of 192.168.10.2 during the test. All the IP addresses, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and Ping IP
can be set by clicking on the column and input manually.

Ping Count: You can set how many times the Ping will be run in this field.

Ping Interval: You can set the interval between each Ping in this field.

Ping Lost: You can set the allowable tolerance loss in this field.
 Wait for Check Result: The system will halt for the set amount of time before checking the result.
