Network Testing with the FrameScope Pro 2
Performance Tests
Agilent FrameScope Pro User’s Manual 55
Performing a MAC or IP Loopback
The master or target FrameScope sends periodic MAC-level or
IP-level messages to the slave FrameScope with user-defined
periodic interval. The slave FrameScope echoes back each of
these messages. The FrameScope will record the number of
transmitted, received and error frames, the current, average,
minimum and maximum delays of frames.
To perform the tests, see the following steps:
1 From the Performance Tests
menu, select MAC Loopback or IP
Loopback
2 There are two options to search
for the slave FrameScope:
Option 1: If you do not know the
MAC or IP address/name of the
slave FrameScope, select Search
for FrameScope.
Option 2: For MAC Loopback, un
check the Search for FrameScope
check box and enter the MAC
address of the slave FrameScope.
For IP Loopback, enter the IP
address or name of the slave FrameScope.
3 In the MAC or IP Loopback menu, press Start or press the OK
button to begin the test.
The FrameScope will search the other FrameScope (which
will be acting as slave) on the network and then report back
the link results.
NOTE
The MAC loopback test only works within the subnet (does not
work across routers).
