MAC/IP/UDP

Preamble/SFD

Indicates that the frame structure contains the Preamble and SFD.

MAC

Source MAC Address indicates the default and unique Media Access
Control (MAC) address given to the Ethernet port.

Destination MAC Address: Enter the destination MAC address for the
stream. The default setting is the source MAC address. The destination
MAC Address field is not accessible when the Resolve MAC Address
check box is selected.

Resolve MAC Address check box, when selected (default), sends a
request to the network to retrieve the MAC address corresponding to
the selected destination IP address. This setting is coupled with the
Resolve MAC Address check box from IP on page 101. This check box
is not available when the Network Layer is set to None (refer to Modify
Frame Structure
on page 98).

EtherType is not configurable and set to the following value: 0x0800
for IPv4 and 0x86DD for IPv6.

Source Flooding and Destination Flooding

1

check boxes when

selected (cleared by default) allows generation of frames using
source/destination MAC addresses flooding as follows: The first frame
is transmitted starting with the least significant bits of the
source/destination MAC address covered by the range set to 0; each
subsequent frame is transmitted by incrementing the least significant
bits by 1; when the upper limit of the range is reached, the
source/destination MAC address restarts over with the least significant
bits covered by the range set to 0.

Flood Range

1

is the range of the least significant bits used for the

Source Flooding and/or Destination Flooding: 2 (1 bit), 4 (2 bits),
8 (3 bits), 16 (4 bits)... up to 16777216 (24 bits) (default).

1. Only available with Traffic Gen & Mon when the Network Layer is set to None (see page 98).
