HWPing (pronounced Hua’Wei Ping) is a network diagnostic tool. It is used to test the performance of various protocols running in networks. HWPing provides more functions than the ping command.

l The ping command can only use the ICMP protocol to test the round trip time (RTT) between this end and a specified destination end for the user to judge whether the destination end is reachable.

l Besides the above function of the ping command, HWPing can also provide other functions, such as testing the status (open/close) of a DHCP/FTP/HTTP/SNMP server and the response time of various services.

You need to configure HWPing client and sometimes the corresponding HWPing servers as well to perform various HWPing tests.

All HWPing tests are initiated by HWPing client and you can view the test results on HWPing client only.

When performing a HWPing test, you need to configure a HWPing test group on the HWPing client. A HWPing test group is a set of HWPing test parameters. A test group contains several test parameters and is uniquely identified by an administrator name and a test tag.

After creating a HWPing test group and configuring the test parameters, you can then perform a HWPing test by the test-enable command.

l Being different from the ping command, HWPing does not display the RTT or timeout status of each packet on the Console terminal in real time. To view the statistic results of your HWPing test operation, you need to execute the display hwping command.

l HWPing also allows you to set parameters for HWPing test groups, start HWPing tests and view statistical test results through a network management device.

Test Types Supported by HWPing

Table 1-1 Test types supported by HWPing

Supported test types		Description
ICMP test		For these types of tests, you need to configure HWPing client and corresponding servers.
DHCP test
FTP test
HTTP test
DNS test
SNMP test
Jitter test		l These types of tests need the cooperation of HWPing client and HWPing Server. l Do not perform TCP or UDP test on port 1 to 1023 (well-known ports). Otherwise your HWPing test may fail or cause the service corresponding to the well-known port (1 to 1023) being unavailable.
TCP test	Tcppublic test
TCP test	Tcpprivate test
UDP test	Udppublic test
UDP test	Udpprivate test

HWPing Test Parameters

You need to configure corresponding test parameters for each type of HWPing test. HWPing test parameters can be configured on HWPing client only. For the configurations on HWPing client, refer to section.

Table 1-2 HWPing test parameters

Test parameter	Description
Destination address (destination-ip)	For TCP/UDP/jitter test, you must specify a destination IP address, and the destination address must be the IP address of a TCP/UDP/UDP listening service configured on the HWPing server.
Destination port (destination-port)	For tcpprivate/udpprivate/jitter test, you must specify a destination port number, and the destination port number must be the port number of a TCP or UDP listening service configured on the HWPing server.
Source interface (source-interface)	l For DHCP test, you must specify a source interface, which will be used by HWPing client to send DHCP requests. If no source interface is specified for a DHCP test, the test will not succeed. l After a source interface is specified, HWPing client uses this source interface to send DHCP requests during a DHCP test. l The IP address of the specified source interface will be used as the source IP address of DHCP requests.
Source address (source-ip)	For HWPing tests other than DHCP test, you can specify a source IP address for test packets, which will be used by the server as the destination address of response packets.
Source port (source-port)	For HWPing tests other than ICMP, DHCP and DNS, you can specify a source port number for test packets, which will be used by the server as the destination port number of response packets.
Test type (test-type)	l You can use HWPing to test a variety of protocols, see Table 1-1 for details. l To perform a type of test, you must first create a test group of this type. One test group can be of only one HWPing test type.
Number of probes per test (count)	l For tests except jitter test, only one test packet is sent in a probe. In a jitter test, you can use the jitter-packetnum command to set the number of packets to be sent in a probe.
Packet size (datasize)	l For ICMP/UDP/jitter test, you can configure the size of test packets. l For ICMP test, the ICMP packet size refers to the length of ECHO-REQUEST packets (excluding IP and ICMP headers)
Maximum number of history records that can be saved (history-records)	This parameter is used to specify the maximum number of history records that can be saved in a test group. When the number of saved history records exceeds the maximum number, HWPing discards some earliest records.
Automatic test interval (frequency)	This parameter is used to set the interval at which the HWPing client periodically performs the same test automatically.
Probe timeout time (timeout)	l The probe timeout timer is started after the HWPing client sends out a test packet. l This parameter is in seconds.
Type of service (tos)	Type of service is the value of the ToS field in IP header in the test packets.
dns	This parameter is used to specify a DNS domain name in a HWPing DNS test group.
dns-server	This parameter is used to set the DNS server IP address in a HWPing DNS test group.
HTTP operation type (http-operation)	This parameter is used to set the type of HTTP interaction operation between HWPing client and HTTP server.
FTP operation type (ftp-operation)	This parameter is used to set the type of FTP interaction operation between HWPing client and FTP server.
FTP login username and password (username and password)	The two parameters are used to set the username and password to be used for FTP operation.
File name for FTP operation (filename)	Name of a file to be transferred between HWPing client and FTP server
Number of jitter test packets to be sent per probe (jitter-packetnum)	l Jitter test is used to collect statistics about delay jitter in UDP packet transmission l In a jitter probe, the HWPing client sends a series of packets to the HWPing server at regular intervals (you can set the interval). Once receiving such a packet, the HWPing server marks it with a timestamp, and then sends it back to the HWPing client. Upon receiving a packet returned, the HWPing client computes the delay jitter time. The HWPing client collects delay jitter statistics on all the packets returned in the test. So, the more packets a jitter probe sends, the more accurate the jitter statistics is, but the longer time the jitter test costs.
Interval to send jitter test packets (jitter-interval)	Each jitter probe will send multiple UDP test packets at regular intervals (you can set the interval). The smaller the interval is, the faster the test is. But a too small interval may somewhat impact your network.
Trap	l A HWPing test will generate a Trap message no matter whether the test successes or not. You can use the Trap device to enable or disable the output of trap messages. l You can set the number of consecutive failed HWPing tests before Trap output. You can also set the number of consecutive failed HWPing probes before Trap output.

HWPing Configuration

The TCP/UDP/jitter tests need the cooperation of HWPing client and HWPing Server, Other types of tests need to configure HWPing client and corresponding different servers.

FTP Test

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 1-4, both the HWPing client and the FTP server are WX3000 series devices. Perform a HWPing FTP test between the two devices to test the connectivity to the specified FTP server and the time required to upload a file to the server after the connection is established. Both the username and password used to log in to the FTP server are “admin”. The file to be uploaded to the server is cmdtree.txt.
