MME HSS I/F Node

In HSS Nodal test case, the HSS interface allows testing of the HSS-MME/SGSN SUT.

Multi-Homed	Only available when S6a interface is enabled. Select to enable multi-homed capabilities. Tcl Parameter: HssClnSctpMultiHomedMultiSrcEn
Consecutive Secondary Node Address	Only available when S6a interface is enabled. Select to enable for consecutive address for multi-homed capabilities. Two test nodes provides with consecutive IP addresses.
Separate Secondary Node Address	Only available when S6a interface and Multi-homed are enabled. Select to enable Separate address that is not consecutive. Enable second node and enter Physical Interface, IP address and Outbound traffic port. Tcl Parameter: HssClnSctpMultiHomedMultiSrcSecAddrEn
SCTP 2x2 Mesh	Only available when S6a interface and S6a Multi-Homed are enabled and HSS-MME/SGSN SUT Multi-Homed is enabled. Select to enable SCTP multi-homed 2x2 Mesh capabilities. One SCTP association has 2 multi-homed endpoints (EP1 and EP2), and each of them has 2 IP addresses, one primary address (Pri) and one Secondary address (Sec). Without enabling this parameter the communication paths are: EP1 Pri <==> EP2 Pri, EP1 Sec <==> EP2 Sec (total of 2 paths). After enabling this parameter the communication paths are: EP1 Pri <==> EP2 Pri, EP1 Pri <==> EP2 Sec,, EP1 Sec <===> EP2 Pri. and EP1 Sec <===> EP2 Sec. (total of 4 paths). Tcl Parameter: HssClnSctpMeshEn
Secondary	Only available when S6a interface, Multi-homed and Separate Address are enabled. Select to enter separate address that is not consecutive. Physical Interface, IP address and Outbound traffic port are enabled. Enter Physical Interface, IP Address and Outbound Traffic Port Tcl Parameter: MmeSecNodeAddr
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. Tcl Parameter: MmeNodeOriginHost
Realm	Depending on whether the node emulates originating or destination point, Realm identifies the realm of the originator of any Diameter message or the realm the message is to be routed to. Tcl Parameter: MmeNodeOriginRealm

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.
