Description

Spirent AX/4000 STP Conformance Test Suite Simple Type: TELECOM / UTILITY Developed by Spirent CommunicationsTM for the AX/4000 broadband test system, the STP Conformance Test Suite provides a comprehensive series of pre-defined test cases to verify the haracteristics of a Spanning Tree Protocol implementation on a router or a switch. Each test case tests a logical unit of functionality and reports a pass, fail, or inconclusive result. spirent’s Test Suite Manager (TSM) software provides a Windows XP/NT/2000 graphical user interface for the test suite. TSM allows users to set test parameters and selectively run cases individually or in a batch operation. Results appear in an on-screen window and can be saved to ASCII files for printing and off-line analysis. The STP is a Layer 2 protocol designed to run on bridges and switches. STP provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. If a loop exists in the network topology, the potential exists for duplication of messages. Download the datasheet (PDF)
