Re: [c-nsp] OK, what is a cheap and dirty hack to test a port

[Brian Turnbow]

 



 If I simply assign something like IP 127.0.0.5/30 to the port and
throw a ton of traffic to 127.0.0.6, will the packets actually
go out the port?  Or will the router see that the port is looped
and just discard the traffic?


>From the router running extended pings to the 127.0.0.5 address (the
interface physical address) 
Wil ldo it for you.
