Network Test Failed (BIT Linux x86 V4.1)

[Gerald]

Hello,

The system has two network ports, which are connected by a lan cable
Linux BIT network test failed, but Windwos edition BIT can pass the test (BIT Windows edition V10.0)
Linux network related settings are as follows, and Windows settings are similar.
please help ! Thanks.

If select "Test all available NICs" , can't test.


If not selected "Test all available NICs" , it can be tested but only test network1.

Hello,
Can someone help me answer?

Linux behaves differently to windows when using a local IP address, it will route all the traffic through local loopback if a destination address is determined to be on the same system.
When using the "Test all available" option the "bind" function is used to connect each network card to a specific external address, if a local address is used then the bind call will fail (hence the error message). When not using this option all the packets will be routed over the local loopback address.

Thanks for reply
So is this a loopback test of two LAN ports on the same system?
Use IP to identify instead of device ID?
(Because the device ID are seen to be the same, but in fact the two LAN ports device ID are different)

[Tim (PassMark)]

If those IPs are not external IPs then the traffic isn't really going anywhere (see attached picture, if you watch the network statistics only the local loopback packet count will be changing).

If you want to test both network cards you should be using an external IP and the "test all NICs" option.
