SGi Node

Landslide provides next hop capability on SGi Node so that the network host and SGi Node can be co-located on the same server during PGW Node testing and MME Testing. (Availability depends on your system license.)

On the PGW Node Emulator Configuration tab, select SGi Interface and enter the required Ethernet configuration.

On the MME Nodal Test Configuration tab, select SGW/PGW Node Emulation and the PDN GW SGi Node becomes available for input. Enter the required Ethernet configuration.

Tcl Parameter: SgiNodeEn

NOTE: SGi Interface is available only when you select Data Traffic on the Emulator Configuration tab.

The Physical interfaces for the SGi Node differs from the interface for Network Host.

If physical interfaces are the same then the traffic between PGW Node and the Network host flows through the internal loopback and it cannot be observed (pcap files).
If the SGi Node is not enabled, then the traffic between PGW Node and Network host flows also through the internal loopback and it cannot be observed.

Select to enable Dual Stack Support on SGi Node section on PGW Node Emulator Configuration and select IPv4 or IPv6 address configuration.

Tcl Parameter: SgiDualStackEn

Ethernet Configuration

With an Ethernet Gi Node, you can define:

The IP address and routing options... The IP Address will increment for each node.

Tcl Parameter: SgiNodeAddr

Tcl Parameter: SgiNodeV4Addr

Tcl Parameter: SgiNodeV6Addr

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.

NOTE: When ARP Request is received by multiple eth-ports of the TS, the ARP Response sends back only through the port that is bound to the requested IP address.
