@ -22,10 +22,14 @@ The tests are:
* **NeedsForbiddenVLAN**- The device (switch / server) needs a vlan set up on it, and a specific port marked as "forbidden" on a specific vlan. For example: Switch0 needs port 1 forbiddenon VLAN1 for this test to be marked as complete.
* SuccessfullyPings,
* SuccessfullyPingsAgain,
* SuccessfullyArps,
* SuccessfullyDHCPs,
* **SuccessfullyPings** - You need to successfully do a ping from one device to another. This ensures that the network routing between the devices is all set up and functional. This is probably the most-used test. For example: PC0 needs to successfully ping PC1 for this test to be marked as complete
* **SuccessfullyPingsAgain** - This was mainly added for the "network loop" test, showing how switches learned the mac address of the device at the far end and learned a "path" to it (when using spanning tree protocol). The second ping goes along the path without a spray of packets taking down the network. You may have other uses for this, but it will not happen much. Example: PC0 sucessfully pings again PC1 for this test to be complete.
* **SuccessfullyArps** - Arp is not used much in this. Initially, EduNetworkBuilder actually used ARP to find the MAC address of local machines. While it was true to life, it was very confusing to people. So ARP is currently relegated to the background. But, the test is still here. You can right-click and do an ARP test on something if you want. And, this test will be successful when you successfully do it. Example: PC0 successfully does an ARP request for PC1.
* **SuccessfullyDHCPs** - This test succeeds when a computer successfully gets a DHCP IP address from the specified server, firewall, etc.

* ReadContextHelp,
