Yes, just that simple. Need to have it do it in a few seconds and I want a
test that truly will detect a problem. Always testing new models but I have
nice lab gear for that. This is for production to functionally test each and
every unit.

Like to make sure it does gigabit speeds? Testing new models?
Wouldn't it be as simple as clicking in and seeing the device negotiate at 1G?

I am wondering if I got a GigE managed switch, could I see some phy data

Probably two laptops, doesn’t need to be anything fancy, my 2006 Lenovo X60
with GigE port does the full 950Mbps TCP.

Demand for our GigE surge suppressor has been growing such that I am now
limited by my test station throughput.
Any ideas on how to test a GigE device go-nogo without buying more big
dollar testers (which I currently use)?
It needs to be fast and show speeds in both directions.
Have considered just putting up a GigE switch and plugging the surge
suppressor into two ports and seeing if they light. But that sounds pretty
cheap and dirty. Want to see numbers. A laptop talking to another laptop with
iperf may end up being the solution. Not sure if there are GigE USB NICS so I
could do it all on one laptop or not.
Any other ideas?
