Request a quoteProduct overview
5201 is a modular data network test platform for network equipment development, acceptance testing and maintenance. It provides L2–L3 Ethernet traffic generation, analysis, statistics, packet capture and protocol simulation. Two- or four-test-slot chassis are available; test rates and port counts depend on the selected boards. RFC2544, multiple users and TCL/Python automation are supported.
Key features
- Two- or four-test-slot chassis; up to 80 × 100 Gbps ports with the appropriate boards.
- Listed test-rate modes cover 1–400 Gbps; available rates depend on the selected boards and licences.
- Ethernet line-rate packet generation, analysis, statistics and capture, plus routing, access, multicast and data-centre protocol simulation.
- Supports 32k flows and 8 million discrete routes per port for large-scale L2–L3 network testing.
- Supports RFC2544, multiple users, clock-synchronised chassis cascading and TCL/Python automation.

Additional information
Chassis, test boards, optical modules and patch cords are selected for the application; the unit is assembled from selected components, and not all boards are standard items. Images show example configurations. Maximum chassis power supply capacity is not constant operating power consumption; chassis weights include power supplies and controller but exclude service boards. 200 Gbps operation depends on the board and licence. Configuration, delivery scope, price and lead time are subject to the configuration quotation.
