IP Network Simulator
The IP Network Simulator tool 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, which is a prerequisite
for enabling and using the network simulator.
Note As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.3(1a), IP Network Simulator is supported on the Multiservice
Module (MSM) and the Multiservice Modular Switch.
You must have a pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports dedicated for each Ethernet path requiring simulation;
Note
these ports cannot provide FCIP or iSCSI functionality while simulation occurs. Of course, 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.
Network simulator enables you to simulate a variety of IP data network conditions, including the ability
to test the impact of network latency. Network simulator is a generic tool that can provide simulation
features for all Ethernet traffic; it is not limited to FCIP and iSCSI traffic to or from the Cisco MDS 9000
Family.
The simulation handles full duplex Gigabit Ethernet traffic at full line rate.
physical topology using a Cisco MDS 9506 director with an IPS-8 module. GE ports 1 and 2 serve as the
network simulator. The FCIP tunnel runs between the Cisco MDS 9506 director port GE 2/1 and the
Cisco 9216 module port GE 2/2.
