Spirent TestCenter: How to configure a fixed MAC address on Spirent TestCenter?

Environment/Versions
  • Spirent TestCetner
  • ARP
Answer
  • Open Spirent TestCenter Application.
  • Configure your emulated device.
  • On the device configuration, under Emulated Device Interface tab, disable the Resolve IPv4 Gateway MAC Address option.
  • Manually configure the DUT MAC address by double-clicking at the IPv4 Gateway Mac field.
  • Then go to Settings at the bottom of the left tree view.
  • Open the ARP/ND tab.
  • Enable the options        below:
    • Use configured gateway MAC address: Select to use the gateway MAC address configured on the Emulated Device Interface tab instead of using ARP/ND to resolve the address. 
    • Do Not Expire ARP: Select to store ARP/ND entries permanently instead of refreshing every 20 minutes.
  • You can also try ARP/ND cache option, which will cause the system to check the ARP/ND cache first and use any item it finds there. If there is no item in the cache, the system sends an ARP/ND request.
