Landslide emulates Access Gateways (AGW) and provides a configuration to test the SUT.
In DRA Nodal test case, the S6a interface allows testing of the MME (MME SUT) and the emulated MME Node. You can emulate multiple nodes with the Number of Nodes setting1.
In MSC Nodal test case, the SGs interface allows testing of the MSC (MSC SUT) and the emulated MME Node. You can emulate multiple nodes with the Number of Nodes setting1.
Define the following:
| Multi-Homed |
Select to indicate that SCTP endpoint is multi-homed, where more than one destination transport address is used to reach the endpoint. When SGs is enabled : Consecutive Secondary Node Address - Select to enable for consecutive address for multi-homed capabilities. Two test nodes provides with consecutive IP addresses. Separate Secondary Node Address - Select to enable Separate address that is not consecutive. Enable second node and enter Physical Interface, IP address and Outbound traffic port. Enter the Primary and Secondary Nodes.
|
| SCTP 2x2 Mesh |
Available when 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). |
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.
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.
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.
1 Maximum rates, number of sessions, and number of emulated nodes vary depending on the test configuration and the test system's licensed capacity.
