RFC 2889 (server)

The server entry defines the receiving ports of an RFC 2889 series. The server receives the client's test streams, checks the frames, and counts received and lost frames per port. With traffic in both directions, the ports of the server entry also transmit the reverse traffic.

Server settings

Setting	Description
Traffic recipients	Server agent, interfaces, and networks that receive the streams. Select the networks of the receiving ports under Targets of the client entry. For the MAC table methodologies, the monitoring port is also added to the server entry, but its network is not selected in the targets
RFC parameters: Ports	Speed of each port: Automatic or Manual speed from 1 Mbit/s to 800 Gbit/s. This speed is taken as 100% of the port load

Methodologies, frame sizes, and trial settings are configured only in the client entry. The set and roles of ports for each methodology are described in Test Setup.
