With a Local Security Gateway node, you can define:

Tunnel Connect Rate

Tunnel Activation Rate: Indicates the rate at which the test attempts to activate the Local Security Gateway tunnels.

Default: 1.0

Range: 0.01 - 200.0

Tcl Parameter: TunnelConnectRate

Tunnel Disconnect Rate

Tunnel Deactivation Rate: Indicates the rate at which the test attempts to deactivate the Local Security Gateway tunnels.

Default: 1.0

Range: 0.01 - 200.0

Tcl Parameter: TunnelDisconnectRate

Client Start Type

Client Start Type: Indicates when All nodes should be established (default) or when Node is established.

Default: When All nodes established

Tcl Parameter: ClientStartType

Ethernet Configuration

With an Ethernet User Node, you can define:

The IP address and routing options... The Starting IP 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.
The Outbound Traffic Port to disable the normal routing function and to force packets out of the selected interface.
Custom port selection... and error injection with the Advanced... button.
