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.
5.1.2 Results - IP Network Setup
The results screen displays either the assigned IP information, or a failure message if the process failed.
If a DHCP operation fails, check the following:
Option 60
(DHCP only)
Class identifier, used for the “option 60” field of the DHCP request as defined by
RFC 1533. The class identifier may be used to send vendor or site-specific
information for use by the DHCP server. If this field is not specified, no value is
sent.
NOTE: Dependent upon licensing, the dropdown list may include one or
more commonly-used IDs.
VLAN ID
(Certain interfaces
only)
802.1ad VLAN tag for all transmitted Ethernet frames, from 1 to 4094. If
unspecified, all transmitted frames are untagged. Note that:
• This specification must match the requirements of the connected network; for
example, a far-end port that is expecting a certain tag is likely to reject any
traffic from the unit that is untagged, and vice-versa.
• Some IP interfaces, such as the Admin Port, do not support VLAN tagging. In
this case, the VLAN ID field does not appear.
VLAN Priority
(Certain interfaces
only)
If a VLAN ID is specified, the priority to assign with the tag.
