The LAN-3324A by Spirent is a highly capable 4-Port SmartMetrics XD Module designed for comprehensive network system testing and high-speed Ethernet interface internetworking. With its advanced features, this module facilitates the simulation of various network requirements and supports the testing of multiple technologies such as Packet over SONET, ATM interfaces, and more. One of the key strengths of the LAN-3324A is its suitability for Layer 4 to Layer 7 performance testing, control plane performance measurement, maximum data plane performance testing, and functional testing of network devices with custom traffic generation.

The LAN-3324A offers a range of notable features, including Ethernet fiber ports, wire-rate traffic capabilities, IP flow transmission, DiffServ and CoS information analysis, simultaneous multi-protocol functionality, and realistic values for layer testing of applications and protocols. By leveraging deterministic and repeatable test cases, the LAN-3324A delivers accurate results. Test outcomes can be presented in either table or graph format, aiding in result analysis. Furthermore, this module supports a wide array of Ethernet interfaces, ensuring compatibility with various networking devices. Its versatile nature enables the validation of both functionality and performance of networking devices.

The LAN-3324A's routing functions are noteworthy, as they allow for integrated control and data plane routing tests, simultaneous operation of multiple routing protocols, and real-time visualization of test results. Additionally, it features an OSPF Graphical Topology Editor that simplifies the creation and modification of OSPF topologies through a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface. Test results include event logging, receive frame rate graphs, routing protocol counters, expected frame rate graphs, port counters, and integrated flap events, providing comprehensive insight into routing performance.

Firewall testing is another valuable capability of the LAN-3324A, offering compatibility with suitable applications to assess connection rates, effective throughput, and defense against DoS attacks. It allows for the validation of firewall features such as protocol fix-ups, application proxying, and stateful inspection. Additionally, this module supports IP VPN testing and features an IPSec protocol stack capable of handling thousands of tunnels. The graphical user interface (GUI) simplifies configuration with a tab-based approach, while wizards streamline the setup process for single or multiple tunnels. The LAN-3324A module is equipped with two connectors: one for 10/100/1000 Mbps operation and another for Gigabit Fiber connection.
