Spirent TestCenter: On which hardware and application release is Port Grouping (LAG) supported?

Environment/Versions
  • Spirent TestCenter
    • Port Grouping (First Release 4.41)
    • LACP
    • LAG Emulation (BPK-1312A) 
    • Aggregated Ports
    • LAG modules
       
Answer
  • Activate Test Module Profile in Firmware Management 
  • C50 - an internal datasheet shows LAG is support
    • This is an appliance that can have different NIC types.
    • These NICs would be like different modules and so the LAG support is also dependent on the NIC type installed.
  • PX3-QSFP28-12 and PX3-100GQ-T12 (4.95)
    • 100G Routing mode: add LAG support
      • Current profile available: STC-PortGroup-2x6-Port
