Novus 32-Port 10/1 3-Speed Ethernet Load Module

Data Sheets

The Highest Density 10G/1G/100M Multi-Rate Ethernet Load Module!

Keysight's Novus 10/1 family of load modules offers comprehensive Layer 2/3 (L2/3) network testing capability.

 

With 32 ports per module, you can create ultra-high-density test environments, with up to 384 3-speed test ports supported in a single 12-slot rackmount chassis.

 

Support for 32 ports of 10/1/100M SFP+ allows up to line-rate traffic generation and analysis, and highperformance routing/bridging, host, and access protocol emulation.

 

Highlights

• Industry’s highest-density 10/1/100M SFP+ test solution

• 3-speed 10G/1G/100M ports provide low total cost of ownership and high ROI

• Feature, scale, and performance parity with existing Keysight 10GE and 1GE load modules

• Broad coverage of L2/3 protocols including routing, switching, data center, access, and host protocols

• Purpose-built to test ultra-high density, high-performance, low-latency network devices

 

Key features

• 32-port full line-rate traffic generation to evaluate and validate the performance of ultra-high-density networking equipment

• Ultra-high scale and performance for emulating L2/3 protocols to validate performance and scalability of L2/3 routing/switching and data center test cases by using Keysight’s IxNetwork application

• Perform industry-standard RFC benchmark tests and protocol emulation in large test bed with hundreds of 3-speed ports in a single test

• 10G, 1G, and 100M line-rate hardware packet capture and decode tools to detect and debug data transmission errors

• Application support for IxExplorer, IxNetwork, and related Tcl and automation APIs

• Flexible 4:1 CPU and memory aggregation, for ultra-high-scale protocol emulation and performance

• Flexible custom packet generation

• Real-time latency with latency resolution of up to 2.5 ns

• Extensive port and traffic flow statistics

• Advanced sequence checking with duplicate packet detection

• Support for preamble customization is now available on IxNetwork for the Novus 1GE/10GE 5-Speed and 3-Speed load modules. Customization is available for both the preamble length and the preamble data of frames.

 

Novus 3-speed brings a new level of performance and scalability, with a broad range of coverage of the most popular features of IxExplorer and IxNetwork applications.
