Specs
If you select static assignment, the unit requires you to manually enter the IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway, and DNS server. The unit will accept any information that you specify and attempt to use
it for active test traffic, whether it is routable or not. Therefore, you should be sure to enter valid
information, otherwise subsequent IP-based testing will fail. In addition, note the following:
• Ensure that you have specified generally valid IP information. For example, the unit cannot assign an
address of 0.0.0.0 because it is not valid for IP communications.
• For static assignment, the DNS server address is optional. However, if you do not specify a valid
server, you must know the target IP address for any IP-based tests. That is, the unit will be unable to
resolve domain names such as www.spirent.com.
