Description

Configures the test to be conducted from CNA agents in the agent-based measurement network to an external IP address.

Only one instance of a test is conducted at any time. If the external target is specified and this test was already active between CNA agents in the Chatter network, the active test will be discontinued. The test is reinitiated with all CNA agents in the Chatter network conducting the test on the specified external target.

The no command restores the default setting, 0.0.0.0, which conducts the test between CNA agents in the hive.

NOTE: To respond to TCP tests, the device at the specified IP address must be running TCP on the port to which the test is sent. The default port is 80. To change this port number, use the port (Chatter module only) command.

Only CNA agents can serve as targets for RTP tests. No other devices support RTP tests.
