RFC 2544 (server)
The server entry defines the receiving ports of an RFC 2544 series. The server receives the client's test streams, checks the frames, and counts received, lost, duplicated, and reordered frames. With traffic in both directions, the ports of the server entry also transmit the reverse traffic. The series results are based on both sides.
Server settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Traffic recipients | Server agent, interfaces, and networks that receive the streams. Select these networks under Targets of the client entry |
| RFC parameters: Ports | Speed of each port: Automatic (the link speed reported by the agent) or Manual speed from 1 Mbit/s to 800 Gbit/s. This speed is taken as 100% of the port load |
Figure 21n — An RFC 2544 server entry: the "RFC parameters" section only configures ports
Methodologies, frame sizes, and trial settings are configured only in the client entry. The receiving port link must be up, its speed must be detected by the agent, and it must run in full duplex.
