Starting a UDP Protocol TFTP test

The TFTP test sends TFTP requests to a TFTP server to measure the number of requests sent and performed per second.

To start a UDP TFTP test:

1. In Performance Testing, expand Protocol > UDP and click TFTP.
2. Click Create New.
3. Configure the network or select a network template. See Using network configuration templates for how to create a network template.
4. Select a Certificate Group, if applicable.
5. Click OK.
6. Configure the test case options described below.
7. Click Start to run the test case.

FortiTester saves the configuration automatically so you can run the test again later. You can also click Save to save the test case without running it.

Tip 1: You can copy an existing case and change its settings to create a new case. In the case list, click Clone to clone the configuration. Only the case name is different from the original case. Tip 2: You can add or edit a comment when the test is running. This comment can be used to search for the test result in the Results page. This is useful especially when the test runs for a long time.

Settings	Guidelines
Load
Renew Socket	Specify Yes or No. If Yes, the client side renews a socket to send out the next query (note if the client profile “Domain Policy” is set as List, all queries for the names in the domain list will use the same socket; after that a new socket will be created for next batch of queries). If No, use the old socket.
Client Profile
TFTP Mode	Select to download or upload a file to the server.
Re-Transfer Time	Select a time limit after which FortiTester will resend the data packet.
Retry Limit	Select the number of times FortiTester will attempt a transfer.
Client/Server Network
