HSS Node

Landslide emulates Home Subscriber Server (HSS) node and provides a configuration to test MME SUT via S6a interface and SGSN SUT via S6d and Gr interface. The HSS Node test case emulates HSS Node to test MME/SGSN using the DIAMETER protocol.

Landslide also emulates S6b and the STa interfaces between AAA Server Nodal and AAA Server Node test cases. The SWx interface is emulated between AAA Server Node and HSS Node test case. Testing the SWx interface requires the AAA Server Nodal, in addition to the AAA Node and HSS Node. The SWx interface can be emulated using an S6b or STa or both interfaces between AAA Nodal and Node used in conjunction with HSS Node.

In DRA Nodal test case, the HSS interface allows testing of the HSS (HSS SUT) and the emulated HSS Node.

Max SGSN Node: Specify the maximum number of SGSN nodes that would be connected to HSS Node for Gr interface configuration.

Ethernet Configuration

With an Ethernet User Node, you can define:

The IP address and routing options... The IP Address 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.
Select default routing that were configured for the test server.
Select the Next Hop IP Address instead of using the test server's default route.
The Outbound Traffic Port to disable the normal routing function and to force packets out of the selected interface.
