Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for network test configuration using VLAN scanning are disclosed. One method for network test configuration using VLAN scanning occurs at a first port of a network equipment test device. The method includes sending a plurality of address resolution protocol (ARP) requests to a system under test (SUT), wherein each of the plurality of ARP requests includes a different virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier (ID). The method also includes receiving an ARP response from the SUT, wherein the ARP response indicates a first VLAN ID associated with the SUT. The method further includes using the first VLAN ID when sending test packets to the SUT via the first port.
Claims21
A method for network test configuration using VLAN scanning, the method comprising:
- at a first port of a network equipment test device:
- sending a plurality of address resolution protocol (ARP) requests to a system under test (SUT), wherein each of the plurality of ARP requests includes a different virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier (ID);
- receiving an ARP response from the SUT, wherein the ARP response indicates a first VLAN ID associated with the SUT;
- and
- using the first VLAN ID when sending test packets to the SUT via the first port.
A system for network test configuration using VLAN scanning, the system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a network equipment test device implemented using the at least one processor, the network equipment test device configured for:
- at a first port of the network equipment test device:
- sending a plurality of address resolution protocol (ARP) requests to a system under test (SUT), wherein each of the plurality of ARP requests includes a different virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier (ID);
- receiving an ARP response from the SUT, wherein the ARP response indicates a first VLAN ID associated with the SUT;
- and
- using the first VLAN ID when sending test packets to the SUT via the first port.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor of a computer cause the computer to perform steps comprising:
- at a first port of a network equipment test device:
- sending a plurality of address resolution protocol (ARP) requests to a gateway associated with a system under test (SUT), wherein each of the plurality of ARP requests includes a different virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier (ID);
- receiving an ARP response from the SUT, wherein the ARP response indicates a first VLAN ID associated with the SUT;
- and
- using the first VLAN ID when sending test packets to the SUT via the first port.
