Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To implement interworking with non-Huawei devices in MS-PW scenarios, run the sender-address command to specify a source IP address for the public network device that communicates with the remote PE. The source IP address is usually the IP address of an adjacent superstratum provider edge (SPE) or user-end provider edge (UPE).

Precautions

If parameters need to be changed during the running of the test instance, the system prompts you whether to terminate the test instance. Press "Y" or "N" as required.

If you press "Y", the test instance is terminated and parameters changed. The settings take effect after being committed. To restart the test instance, run the start command.
If you press "N", the test instance keeps running, and the parameters fail to be modified.

Example

# Set the source IP address to 1.1.1.1 for the pwe3ping test instance in multi-segment PW scenarios.
