Data Connection Diagnostiscs
This documentation elaborates a test plan to test the connection in the new Office.
The connection will be provided by Tele2, it’s a fiber connection with an up and down speed of 50mbit, with Quality of Service.
DHCP Request
Plug a network cable into the test laptop with the network settings set to automatically receive IP address information. Once the NIC has discovered a working connection, run the command
ipconfig /all
to see if the laptop has been given network credentials such as the IPv4 IP address, a default gateway and DNS servers.
IPv4 address □ Default Gateway □ Primary DNS Server □ Secondary DNS Server □
Routing to various subnets
From the new office location, perform a traceroute to the SHLMAP6002 server located in Haarlem.
Perform the following command in an elevated command prompt
tracert shlmap6002
Expected results
Tracing route to shlmap6002.cmisgroup.local [172.18.200.4]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 1 ms 1 ms <1 ms 172.20.96.7

3 5 ms 7 ms 5 ms 1.98.98.242

5 6 ms 4 ms 5 ms shlmap6002.cmisgroup.local [172.18.200.4]
Trace complete.
Internet connectivity test
Pretty basic, apply a fixed IP address with the rights to relay from the proxy server.
Do some browsing, test by going to the following websites.
www.nu.nl
www.voetbal.nl
www.speedtest.net
Once on speedtest, note down the results given on this website. This is not an accurate test, but it should give us a sense of how many MBIT’s we can actually obtain thru the internet.

File transfer speed test
If all the previous tests are successful, we need to test transfer speed. On the file server there will be a test file of 512MB. This is a ghost zip, containing no data but filled with blocks.
\\cmisgroup\Data\Prod\DHGA\Common\#All\Testfile
Download this file to the local drive on the laptop and note the time it took to download the file. Divide the file size by the time it took to download the file to calculate download speed.
Time it took to download file Calculated Download Speed
To test the upload speed, transfer the file back to the server again. Note the time it took to upload the file. Divide the file size by the time it took to upload the file to calculate upload speed.
Time it took to upload file Calculated Upload Speed
Floating desktop test
When we know that we can get an active IP address by the DHCP server, we must test to see if we can actually log in to the VMware View Environment. Seems important, this is a test to see if we can actually operate.
By using the VMware View client on the laptop, connect to the environment by logging in to the following address:
view.cmisgroup.local
The primary test is simple, see if this works. Use your credentials to log in to a floating desktop pool and see if you are assigned a desktop.
Also, note down the time it takes to connect to the pool.
Connection to view server possible Time it takes to build a desktop
RDP Test
A simple test in order to see if we can remotely connect to a server or desktop.
By using the MSTSC protocol (Microsoft Terminal Services Client) try to connect to a server.
Use SHLMAP6002 for testing purposes.
172.18.200.4
RDP Connection possible? Yes □ No □
So, in the test weekend the connection to our current office will be disabled and the route to the new office will be enabled. This is when the testing must occur.
Naturally, this will be reversed after testing is complete. Which means that we will have to perform these tests on our local network in the current office to see if the switch over has no impact on our business.
