The basic Ethernet-to-Ethernet router
The most basic CDRouter test setup is one in which the device under test (DUT) is an Ethernet-to-Ethernet router with a single Ethernet WAN interface and one or more Ethernet LAN interfaces. In this setup CDRouter connects directly to the DUT's WAN and LAN interfaces via Ethernet and emulates the service provider network on the WAN side and one or more clients on the LAN side.
Test Setup
Requirements
- CDRouter or CDRouter-Multiport
- Two dedicated Ethernet network interfaces
- One Ethernet-to-Ethernet router
Benefits
- Simple setup for Ethernet-to-Ethernet routers and CPE
- Great for a stand-alone test station
- Allows the device under test to be completely isolated
- Perfect for debugging test failures and testing new functionality
