19
Setting IP address of Chassis (HyperTerminal) 2
of 2
1. Type ipaddr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ltcrgt to enter a
new IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the new IP
address you are setting)
2. After ltcrgt, get prompt New IP Address is
192.168.11.110. Please reboot the SmartBits for
the IP Address change to take effect.

Configuring Traffic - Overview

• Click card or port you want to send traffic from,
  -gt Transmit Setup
• Click Add, specify number of streams and frame
  length -gt OK
• Configure addressing directly on streams, or
  highlight stream and click Edit
• Addressing
• Destination address must exist on Rx card as a
  Source address (layer 2 and / or L3)

SMB Card 2 (Rx)
SMB Card 1 (Tx)
Src IP Dst IP
Src IP Dst IP
L3 DUT
10.1.1.2 20.1.1.2
20.1.1.2 10.1.1.2
37
Configuring Traffic Add Streams (1 of
4)

• Click card or port you want to send traffic from,
  -gt Transmit Setup
• Click Add, specify number of streams and frame
  length -gt OK

38
Configuring Traffic Addressing (2
of 4)

• Double Click SrcIP address and DstIP address, and
  type in correct addresses
• Double Click Gateway address at far right, type
  in gateway address
• Gateway IP address is usually the first L3
  address traffic hits
• Use Copy Down, Fill and Increment for multiple
  streams
• Set top address, highlight all streams, right
  click on column to copy down

39
Configuring Traffic Rate (3 of 4)

• Rate can be specified in multiple way
• Interframe Gap (IFG) (in nsec, usec, msec or sec)
  at port level
• Frames per sec (FPS) (per stream)
• Utilization () (per stream)

40
Configuring Traffic Rate/Mode/Background (4 of
4)

• Rates on LAN-31XX cards are per port rates only
• Mode determines traffic nature (continuous or
  bursty)
• Background determines what is in payload (above
  protocol headers)
• Click OK all the way out to main screen.

41
Configuring Traffic VLANs (802.1q)

• Add a stream
• Check VLAN box in stream
• Double click in VID box (VLAN ID), and set
  correct value
• If desired, copy and paste stream, increment VID.
  Max number of streams is card dependant (between
  1000 and 2048 streams)
• Can use Flows if you need to increment beyond
  stream capacity

42
Configuring Traffic Flows

• Add a stream
• Highlight stream, click Edit
• Decide what you want to increment (options
  determined by stream protocol)

43
Configuring Traffic Flows (eg. dot1q)

• Count How many times do you want to increment?
• Specify what part of dot1q header to increment
• Click OK

44
Configuring Traffic Flows (TCP Port numbers)

• Cycle Count How many times do you want to
  increment?
• Increment by ?
• Click OK

45
Configuring Traffic Flows (MAC Address)

• Want to increment, decrement, set static, or
  random?
• Cycle Count How many values do you want?
• Increment/Decrement by ?
• Click OK

46
Configuring Traffic Flows (any field using VFDs)

• VFDs are up to 6 bytes long and will overwrite
  any part of packet specified
• Offset specifies which part f the packet to
  overwrite
• Stutter count allows you to send same packet X
  number of times, before incrementing VFD, where
  X Stutter count

47
Sending Traffic - Overview

• All streams have been configured on Tx and on Rx
  card
• Update to send config from PC to SMB firmware
• Send L3 ARP requests, verify replies received w/
  SmartCounters
• Start traffic, observe counters to verify traffic
  is flowing through device

48
Update -gt Sending config to firmware

• All Configuration is done in Software on your PC
  Needs to be sent down to the firmware on the
  cards

• Update all reserved Cards in the chassis at once
• Click Action -gt Update on the toolbar

• Do one port at a time
• Click on port to get dropdown click Update this
  Port (at bottom)

• Do one card at a time
• Rt click on card to get dropdown click Update
  this Module (at bottom)

49
Sending Traffic - L3 ARP

• When testing any IP device, first thing
• to do (once traffic is configured), is to ARP to
  DUT
• From the SmartWindow, click on the port to get
  the dropdown and, click on Layer 3 Send ARP
  Requests
• This will ARP every stream, but only for that
  port
• Action -gt Layer 3 ARP will send ARP from all
  streams on all reserved ports
• Do this 2 or 3 times - verify ARP replies
• received w/ SmartCounters
• Forget to ARP or no ARP reply? No traffic
  through DUT!

50
Use SmartCounters To Verify ARP Worked
51
Sending Traffic

• Once ARP successful, Start traffic by clicking
  Start. Stop by clicking Stop
• Multiple ports start at once by clicking Group
  Start (if port is member of group)

52
SmartCounters

• To show counters for more than 1 port
  simultaneously, click first port, hold ltCNTRLgt
  key and click second port
• Card 1 Txing at 84459 pps
• Card 2 Rxing at 84459 pps traffic is passing
  successfully!

55
Pick Tests And Ports
Pull down and pick for each test you wish to run
Choose the Tx and RX Ports for the test
NOTE There are 2 versions of Latency Tests. A
16 bit counter and a 32 bit counter. Use the 32
bit versions.
56
Smart Metrics Tests in Smart Window

• Sequence Tracking
• Each packet from each stream (VTE) is counted to
  see if they are arriving in sequence.
• Latency Over Time
• Does the latency change over long periods?
• Latency Per VTE
• Each packet, in each stream, is measured for
  latency.
• Latency Distribution
• Bucket oriented latency
• Raw Packet Tags
• All the SmartMetrics information is presented for
  EVERY packet.
• Frame Variation
• In voice and video (any real time traffic) the
  last thing we want is packets coming a varying
  times. We need a steady stream of information.

57
Start / Stop Test And Get Results
Start test here. When you wish to finish, press
Stop
Get Results by clicking here and then choosing
the receive port you wish to see results for
58
Results Latency Per VTE (Stream)
The Latency is measured on each packet, in each
Stream (VTE) with Minimum, Maximum and Average
provided in mseconds Set a scenario where you
have just slight congestion. Set the Streams IP
TOS bits. Is the DUT/SUT providing the latency
you require?
59
Capture Capability

• Are we receiving what we sent?
• Do you need to verify that the packet you built
  is the packet you receive?
• Accessible by clicking on the port to get to the
  submenu and then clicking on Capture Start.
• Only captures Rx data
• To display data, click on Stop Capture and
  Display Data
• Opens a decoder window (Finally!).
