VERVIEW This Netropy 40G Hardware Guide describes the physical hardware of the Netropy 40G Network Emulator. The companion User’s Guide describes the installation, configuration, and operation of the Netropy network emulation functionality. A separate Quick Start Guide provides a walk- through for first time configuration.
RONT AND ANELS 3.1 Front Panel The front panel of the Netropy 40G contains: Power LED: Lit green when the unit is powered on. Power Button: Press the power button on the front panel to turn the device on or off.
International customers may need to substitute a local power cord with a standard IEC C13 plug. The Netropy 40G handles AC power input from 100 to 240 V. If power is supplied to only one of the power inputs or if one of the power supplies fails, the system will sound an alarm.
APACITY IMITATIONS The Netropy 40G can forward up to 40 Gbps of packets in each direction for an aggregate capacity of 80 Gbps. Each port can forward packets at a rate of 16 million packets per second (with 64 byte packets) and an aggregate limit of 32 million pps (with 64 byte packets).
