Description

Ixia Optixia LSM1000XMVDC4-01 4-Port Dual-PHY Gigabit Ethernet Load Module

Ixia’s Gigabit Ethernet XMVDC LAN Services Modules (LSMs) offer complete Layer 2-7 network and application testing functionality in a single test system. Each test port supports wire-speed Layer 2-3 traffic generation and analysis, high performance routing/bridging protocol emulation, and true Layer 4-7 application traffic generation and subscriber emulation. With 16 Dual-PHY ports per module, you can create ultra-high density test environments for auto-negotiable 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet over copper as well as Gigabit Fiber and 100Base-FX Ethernet over fiber. With 12 slots per XM12 high performance chassis, up to 192 Gigabit Ethernet test ports are supported in a single test system.

The ability to test converged Ethernet networks in nextgeneration data centers, often referred to as data center bridging (DCB), requires the Ixia test system to support the fibre channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol and IEEE 8021.Qbb priority-based flow control (PFC). The XMVDC load modules include built-in support for FCoE and PFC.
Additional protocols such as FIP and LLDP/DCBx support the testing of network devices that must receive and forward both Ethernet and FCoE traffic on the same port (especially when a fibre channel storage network is part of a DCB-capable data center). DCB is an extension of
Ethernet that makes Ethernet a reliable transport link in a converged data center.
