The ultimate in SAN LAN Performance Tools GTX-Generator 2Gb Fibre Channel Traffic Generator Highlights ■■Transmit Full Rate Fibre Channel Traffic ■■Check Received Fibre Channel Frames for Bit Errors, Dropped Frames and In-Order Delivery ■■Support for FCIAs SANMark Test Suites ■■Transmit and Receive Fibre Channel Data at Single and Double Gigabit Line Rates ■■Create Customized State Machine Level Scripts ■■Automate Tests Using Full-Feature Perl-Based Scripting ■■Regression Test and Debug Finisar’s GTX-G Generator is a powerful test tool that enables the user to generate data to test Fibre Channel networks. The Generator works in conjunction with Finisar’s GTX Traffic Analyzers to allow users to generate and view detailed network responses. GTX-G allows users to send frames via point-to-point or fabric connections. The Generator will perform login, negotiate credit management and generate valid or invalid traffic, at full line-rate. The receiver side detects and counts frame errors while checking for out of order frames. GTX-G was designed from the outset to be flexible, while providing designers with the high speed necessary for today’s 2Gbps environments. GTX-G remains compatible with Finisar legacy GT-G 1Gbps Generators. This provides testers the familiarity they like with the added performance they need. The GTX-G has been designed so that anyone can create or edit a configuration file without accessing generator hardware, and then export it. Scripting via Finisar’s Frunner scripting tool allows the user to automate configurations created using the GUI. Scripting allows users to perform back-to-back testing. Several Modes of Operation Frames Mode GTX-G has several operating modes for users The GTX-G in Frames to choose from depending upon their needs. Mode is ideal for Frames, Primitive and Test Sequencer Modes are testing Fibre Channel configurations that allow the user exceptional fabrics or individual output control, all in real-time. switches. Multiple GTX-G ports can log in to the fabric and Primitive Mode then send full rate In Primitive Mode, the test data to load the network and check for GTX-G user has the errors. GTX-G also supports automatic S-ID ultimate in word-by- tagging, login and name server query for easier word Fibre Channel source/destination selections. The Generator will control. By using send, receive and compare 1 or 2 Gbps traffic to either the GUI or the detect CRC errors, code errors, dropped frames popular ScriptWriter and out of order delivery. The user can change tool, the user can the output data rate dynamically by varying the create Fibre Channel traffic with control down to payload size and the number of idles inserted the primitive level. Primitive Mode allows the user between frames. GTX-G also handles credit to create any frames or ordered sets including management for flow control. The newest version valid and invalid protocol data. When used in GTX-G allows users to specify an almost infinite conjunction with Finisar’s GTX-A Analyzer, the number of frames compared to the previous 500 tool allows the user to fully examine the response frames limit. of a system under test.
