Testing Packets in IP SLA

Hello,

I need to test layer 2 packets using IP SLA but I am a little stuck as to what type of operation to choose.

If any one has any recommendations or instructions this would be very helpful.

Regards,

  • Hello   It does not say what or why you are testing layer 2 frames.  ICMP Echo is a good start.  HTTP can test to a URL.  DNS can test to the DNS server a host name or an IP.   TCP Connect can test to a IP/ tcp port
