EDM-2001B In Stock

The Spirent EDM-2001B is a Series 2000 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet test module that offers extensive capabilities for core technology testing. This module is specifically designed to meet the testing requirements of enterprise routers and switches, providing a dual media interface that combines fiber and copper interfaces within a single module. It supports signal rates of 10/100/1000 Mbps and 1 Gbps, enabling intelligent high-density testing. With the EDM-2001B, users can generate realistic traffic at each port across different layers and conduct metric analysis for each layer.

The EDM-2001B offers the unique ability to simultaneously correlate control plane traffic and data plane tests, including routing, resulting in realistic performance measurements. This module is particularly well-suited for users who require routing capabilities and high-density scalability at Layer 2 and Layer 4. Furthermore, it offers exceptional flexibility with advanced Layer 3 and routing features, making it an ideal choice for users seeking Layer 2 and Layer 3 scalability. The EDM-2001B is also highly versatile and can be employed to measure the performance of Layer 4 to Layer 7 devices, including load balancers, SSL accelerators, SSL and IPSec VPNs, firewalls, IDS/IPS systems, and web accelerators. It supports scaling up to 32,767 streams per port, enabling comprehensive testing of these devices.

To validate the performance of the module, the EDM-2001B can be used in conjunction with the SPT-2000A portable chassis. This setup facilitates the validation and comparison of network equipment, ensuring the suitability of the module for specific applications. This module plays a crucial role in assessing various parameters such as QoS class prioritization, routing protocol performance/scalability, IP Multicast, host client capacities, VLAN tagging, and security protocols, enabling users to verify that these elements function as expected. The EDM-2001B offers several advantages, including the reduction of lab space requirements and test equipment costs.

The EDM-2001B features field-programmable hardware, enabling on-site upgrades within its chassis to accommodate new technologies and features as they become available. It also provides real-time per stream statistics and an event log, which allows users to monitor protocol messaging on a per-port basis. The EDM-2001B is compatible with comprehensive functional and performance analysis software applications, facilitating concurrent usage by multiple users with per-port group reservation. It supports wire-rate traffic analysis and generation at both Layers 2 and Layer 3, and includes a graphically driven field editor for custom frame and packet editing, with template editing options for preconfigured control and data plane packets.
