Usage Guidelines The IP Network Simulator tool is used for network simulation and is supported on the 8-port IP Storage
Services (IPS-8) module and 4-port IP Storage Services (IPS-4) module only. You must also have either
the SAN extension over IP package for IPS-8 modules (SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP) or SAN extension over
IP package for IPS-4 modules (SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP_IPS4), so that you can enable the SAN
Extension Tuner, a prerequisite for enabling and using the network simulator.
You must have a pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports dedicated for each Ethernet path requiring simulation;
these ports cannot provide FCIP or iSCSI functionality while simulation occurs. The remaining ports
that are not performing network simulations can run FCIP or iSCSI. Ports dedicated to network
simulation must be adjacent, and always begin with an odd-numbered port. For example, GE 1/1 and GE
1/2 would be a valid pair, while GE 2/2 and GE 2/3 would not.
Note
Examples The following example shows how to enable the SAN Extension Tuner and enable a pair of ports for
network simulation.
