Spirent TestCenter: Are Analyzer Filters supported with Analyzer Preload?

Environment/Versions
  • Spirent TestCenter
    • Analyzer Preload
    • Analyzer Filters
Answer
  • The Analyzer has two types of filters
    • Template filters and Custom filters 
    • Analyzer Preload feature can be used with an Analyzer Template but only on the first “vlan-id” filter.
    • Custom Filter is not supported with Analyzer Preload
  • CR: 335207499 was open for additional filters to work but it has been declined.
  • CR: 518517362 open to support dual vlans using the Analyzer Template filter.
    • Work around is to use the Custom filters when facing dual vlans which may appear to work but you will see a message in the logs indicating Analyzer Preload is skipped.
      • This means Analyzer Preload is not being used.
      • This causes the "Is Expected" field to not work properly.
      • Work around is to us Stray Frame collection instead of "Is Expected".
