Getting Started PX3/DX3-QSFP-DD-8 is operated with specialized software designed to help you create and analyze realistic traffic for determining the operating characteristics of a device, system, or network under test. Due to the powerful traffic generating capabilities of PX3/DX3-QSFP-DD-8, precautions should be taken when connecting the test ports to an operational network.
