CT314 Low Power LANforge-FIRE Traffic Generator

The CT314 is a low-power and affordable applicance with a single 10/100 Ethernet port and one Broadcome 802.11b/g/n Wireless interface. It is targeted at users who wish to have an inexpensive appliance that can be left at remote sites for network monitoring and lower speed testing. The maximum throughput is about 90Mbps bi-directional wired. Wireless throughput is steady at 38Mbps and can peak at 48Mpbs. The CT314 is based on the Raspberry PI B version 3 platform, running the Ubuntu Server OS. While it is capable of displaying a Linux desktop and LANforge GUI, the CT314 omits these items to save resources in the default install. The CT314 has no moving parts and is about the size of a deck of cards. It has HDMI, USB Keyboard, and Mouse interfaces for easy console/desktop access to the system. VoIP support is priced separately. Please communicate your preferences to your sales representative. No additional hardware or software is required, but you need a separate PC to run the LANforge GUI for easy management of the LANforge system.

CT502-1G LANforge FIRE Traffic Generator with 6 ports and 250 Virtual Interfaces

The CT502-1G is an excellent choice for testing firewalls, routers and other devices that pay attention to network flows. The CT502-1G uses the MAC-VLAN feature in the Candela Linux kernel to emulate up to 250 virtual interfaces using a single physical ethernet interface. Each of the virtual interfaces has its own IP address, IP port space, MAC address and routing table. This allows one to configure all of the virtual interfaces on the same subnet or different subnets, depending on the testing requirements. When used with something like VoIP, it allows all of the VOIP calls to use the standard IP ports (with one call per virtual interface).

The CT502-1G 1U rackmount chassis fits into a standard rack and is only 14 inches deep. It supports standard VGA, Keyboard, and Mouse interfaces for easy console/desktop access to the system. The rackmount chassis is relatively noisy, so it is better for a data center deployment than a desktop environment. Other form factors better suited for traveling or desktop use are also available at similar prices and performance. This system includes the Armageddon feature and 6 physical ports at no additional charge. The VoIP feature are priced separately. Please communicate your preferences to your sales representative. No additional hardware or software is required, but you may wish to manage the system using the LANforge GUI on a separate machine.
