If your going to configure device blocks containing multiple devices:
  • At the Configure Devices screen configure how many devices you will add on the device block and set the Device block mode as One network per block, multiple devices per network.
  • Set the Layer 2 and Layer 3 configuration.

  • At the Configure Devices screen configure how many devices you will add to the configuration and set the Device block mode as One network per block, multiple devices per network.
  • Set the Layer 2 and Layer 3 configuration.


After creating the devices, you will need to create the stream blocks.
  • Go to All Streamblocks and hit the Add… button.
  • At the Ports screen you can select the ports on which you will create the stream blocks.
  • At the Endpoints screen you can select source and destination devices for the stream blocks.
  • If you created a device with multiple devices, the stream block will include every device on the device block as source and/or destination.
  • If you created different devices, you can select which will be de source device and which will be the destination one.


NOTE: Don't forget to click on the Add button, this will add the stream blocks into the Pairs text box, and also select if your traffic flow will be unidirectional or bidirectional.
