IP Network Simulator Chapter 58 Troubleshooting Your Fabric Send documentation comments to [email protected] • Limiting maximum bandwidth • Finite queue size • Dropping packets • Reordering packets Enabling the IP Network Simulator Because the network simulator commands and functionality are part of the SAN Extension Tuner, you must first enable the tuner; after doing so, you can view and use the network simulator commands in EXEC mode. To enable the network simulator (in this case, on a Cisco MDS 9506 director), follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Command switch# config t switch(config)# switch(config)# feature san-ext-tuner switch(config)# exit switch# switch# ips netsim enable interface gigabitethernet 2/3 gigabitethernet 2/4 switch# ips no netsim enable interface gigabitethernet 2/3 gigabit ethernet 2/4 Purpose Enters configuration mode. Enables the SAN Extension Tuner. Exits to EXEC mode. Configures the pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports in network simulation mode. Note The two ports must be adjacent to each; the first port must be an odd-numbered port. Disables network simulation mode and resets the Gigabit Ethernet ports. Simulating Network Delays You can configure the network simulator to delay all packets entering the Gigabit Ethernet ports. After configuring the delay in one direction, you need to also enter the same command to introduce the delay in the opposite direction, if desired. You can specify the delay in either milliseconds (allowable range is 0 to150 ms) or microseconds (allowable range is 0 to 150000 µs). 58-24 Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide OL-18084-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
