Hi Team,
Wanted to test the communication between nodes in a DPF environment.
When i checked the niping options. I dont see an option using pvlan. Because if we use normal tests then it wouldnt be using the pvlan and the tests will fail right. If we are checking the communication between data node and admin node?
Test Program for NI-Layer (network interface), Version 40, January 14 2008
running modes
start server niping -s
start client niping -c
self test niping -t
verify nodeaddr niping -v
interface list niping -i
MAC address list niping -m
additional options
-H hostname name of server-host (default localhost)
-S service service-name or port-number (default 3298)
-K sncname SNC-name server (default no SNC)
-B bufsize size of data-buffer (default 1000)
-L loops number of loops (default 10)
-V tracelev trace level (0 - 3) (default 1)
-T tracefile name of trace file (default stdout)
-I idle time maximum idle time (default 300 sec)
t > 0 shutdown after t secs idle
t = 0 no automatic shutdown
t < 0 shutdown after -t secs idle or
first client disconnect (server only)
-R raw mode
-P detail print
expert options
-N timeout for completion of fragmented packages (default 200 msecs)
-O one way mode
-Q maxbytes fragment test mode
-D delay delay between sends (default 0 msec)
--acl_file=acl-file # load 'acl-file' (server mode)
--acl_check # load and check acl and exit
Check network connection between host A and B on NI-level
---------------------------------------------------------
Start niping as a server (option -s) on host A. Then start
niping as a client (option -c) on host B.
The client sends <loops> packets of size <bufsize> which are
echoed by the server. The client then displays the average,
maximum and minimum round trip time.
Check the basic functionality of the NI-layer
---------------------------------------------
To perform a self test on the local host start niping with
option -t. The last line of the output should contain
"*** SELFTEST O.K. ***" if no problems occured.
