Select Use Alternate SBI Client Address and enter the Client side Starting IP Address.

Enter Server IPv4 or IPv6 address configuration, # of Nodes from 1 to 1000. # of Nodes in not available in AMF Nodal when SMF/UPF Node Emulation is enabled because only 1 node is supported.

Enter Host address. Default: SMF.Spirent.com

If NF Instance ID is selected, enter the NF Instance ID. You may change the default value however you must ensure it does not conflict with any other SBI node.

Format : UUID version 4: 4hexOctet-2hexOctet-2hexOctet-2hexOctet-6hexOctet

Number of IPs per NF Instance is used to support multiple IP instances for each AUSF SBI Node (NF Instance). Available only if "NRF Interface" is enabled. Range : 1 to 4, default : 1

When Number of IPs per NF Instance is enabled, enter Host Prefix per IP Instance, which is used to set the host name per IP Instance: <Host prefix> + <IP Index> + "." + <AUSF Host>. Enter up to 32 characters. Default : Instance.

NF Set ID is used to configure NF Set ID for emulated AUSF NF instances. Available only if "NRF Interface" is enabled. Range : NF Set ID consists of 1-32 alphabetic characters (A-Z and a-z), digits (0-9) and/or the hyphen (-) that shall not end with a hyphen. 

Emulate NF Failure - is used to emulate NF failure. When enabled, Delay (s) and NF Instance become available for input.

Enter Delay in seconds for NF failure emulation. When Failure Type is Service Unavailable, Delay (s) is greyed out. Range : 10 to 65535  Default : 60

Enter NF Instance for failure emulation. Range : 1 to [# of Nodes]  Default : 1

• 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.
