Configuring Ports

Use the Ports tab to configure various features, such as Virtual Router and DDOS (client only), on a per-port basis. You can configure ports for both the client and the server.

The tab contains a table that you maintain by adding and removing rows. Each row defines a different configuration.

To configure ports:

1. Select the test with which you want to work.
2. Click the Client tab or the Server tab, depending on what you want to configure.
3. Click the Ports tab. The Client Ports tab or the Server Ports tab appears depending on your selection in the previous step.
4. Click the Add Port button to add a row to the table. (To edit an existing configuration, click the row that you want to change.)
5. Click the Port table cell and use the drop-down menu to select a port to configure.
6. Select Gratuitous ARP if you want to broadcast an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) request with the port's IP address at the beginning of each test.
7. Use the sub-tabs to configure various features. For example, to define a virtual router, enter information in the Virtual Router sub-tab.
