In eMBMS Node test case, the BMSC MB2-C Node provides the Control plane communication while the BMSC MB2-U Node provides the User plane communication between the GCS-AS and the BM-SC. In IP Application test case, the MB2-C Node provides the Control plane communication while the MB2-U Node provides the User plane communication between the GCS-AS and the BM-SC.
It’s available when eMBMS-GW and BMSC and MB2 Interface are enabled on the eMBMS Node emulator configuration. It’s available when SIP VOIP GM and MB2 Interface are enabled on the IP Application Node Test Configuration.
BMSC MB2-C Node:
# of Nodes: Enter number of Nodes for BMSC MB2-Control node. Range : 1 to 1000. Default : 1
Tcl Parameter: Mb2CNodeAddr
Origin Host: Depending on whether the node emulates originating or destination point, Host identifies the endpoint that originated the Diameter message or the Diameter Identity of the destination host. Default : BMSCServer.Spirent.com
Tcl Parameter: Mb2CNodeHost
Origin Realm: Enter Realm.
Tcl Parameter: Mb2CNodeRealm
BMSC MB2-U Node:
Define the Physical Interface.
Tcl Parameter: Mb2UNodeAddr
With an Ethernet User Node, you can define:
The IP address and routing options... The IP Address (IPv4 or IPv6) will increment for each node.
The MAC Address to override the Hardware MAC address so the packets sent out of the interface will use the provisioned MAC address rather the Hardware MAC Address.
Custom port selection... and error injection with the Advanced... button.
The Outbound Traffic Port to disable the normal routing function and to force packets out of the selected interface.
