Test ping packet loss
Using a computer, it is possible to generate and monitor packets lost between the
PIDU Plus and the ODU. This can be achieved by executing the Command Prompt
application which is supplied as standard with Windows and MAC operating systems.
To test ping packet loss, proceed as follows:
Procedure 8-11 Test ping packet loss
1
Ensure that the IP address of the computer is configured appropriately
for connection to the ODU under test.
2
Ensure that the IP address of the computer does not clash with other
devices connected to the network.
3
If the PIDU Plus is connected to an Ethernet switch or router then
connect the computer to a spare port, if available.
4
If it is not possible to connect the computer to a spare port of an
Ethernet switch or router, then the PIDU Plus will need to be
disconnected from the network in order to execute this test.
CAUTION
The following steps will disrupt network traffic carried by the ODU
under test:
Disconnect the PIDU Plus from the network.
Connect the computer directly to the LAN port of the PIDU Plus.
5
On the computer, open the Command Prompt application.
