Problems solved by technology

However, the disadvantage of this method is that there are not so many FE test cards in the actual test process. If you buy them, the cost is too high, and the test process occupies a large number of slots in the network performance analyzer, which greatly reduces the practical application significance of this method.

Embodiment Construction

[0031] In network communication, the traffic of GE ports is 10 times that of FE ports. Therefore, an Ethernet switch with GE ports and FE ports and a network performance analysis device can be used to generate FE port data streams required to test the transmission performance of network devices. The key is to use the trunk (trunk or trunk) function of the Ethernet switch port.

[0032] In Ethernet switches, ports can usually be configured in two modes: trunk and access. By default, an Ethernet switch port works in access mode. In this mode, a port can only belong to one VLAN, and it only allows the frames of the VLAN it belongs to to pass through. But in the trunk mode, the port can belong to different VLANs at the same time, and the data in the specified VLAN is allowed to be forwarded normally.

[0033] In the existing Quidway series switches, the commands for setting their ports to trunk mode are shown in Figure 5, including configuring the GE port of the Ethernet switch a...

Abstract

The present invention sufficiently utilizes network performance analysis equipment and existing GE port on Ethernet exchanger to generate data flow required for test as well as utilizes network performance analysis equipment to carry out transmission performance test for tested network equipment so cost of transmission performance test is decreased and utilization ratio of analysis equipment is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a device and method for testing the transmission performance of network equipment. Background technique [0002] In order to ensure the reliability of network communication, it is usually necessary to test the data forwarding performance of the network equipment used in the networking, and only the network equipment that passes the test can be used in the communication network, such as Ethernet switches. At present, the port capacity of Ethernet switches is increasing, and the number of ports is increasing; a single board often has 24 or even 48 FE (Fast Ethernet) ports; and during system testing, in order to simulate the actual network operation, it is often required All FE ports can run at line speed, which greatly increases the difficulty of testing. [0003] The network equipment transmission performance test method that generally adopts now is as shown in Figu...
