It is an enhanced alternative to the ping command.HWPing test group is a set of HWPing test parameters. A test group contains severaltest parameters and is uniquely identified by an administrator name and a test tag.You can perform a HWPing test after creating a test group and configuring the testparameters.Different from the ping command, HWPing does not display the round trip time (RTT)and timeout status of each packet on the console terminal in real time. You need toexecute the display hwping command to view the statistic results of your HWPing testoperation. HWPing allows administrators to set the parameters of HWPing test groupsand start HWPing test operations.NetworkSwitch A Switch BgHWPing ClientFigure 1-1 Illustration for HWPin1.2 HWPing Configuration1.2.1 Introduction to HWPing ConfigurationThe configuration tasks for HWPing include:z Enabling HWPing clientz Creating a test groupz Configuring test parametersThe test parameters that you can configure include:1) Destination IP addressIt is equivalent to the destination IP address in the ping command.2) Test typeCurrently, HWPing supports only one test type: ICMP.
