There are situation on which the Gateway IP address is configured on a DUT which does not reply to ARP request. For this particular cases you need to create a static ARP entry for the gateway on IxLoad.
Setup:
Let's consider the following setup:
Client IP address is 1.1.1.1
Gateway IP address is 1.1.1.254 and Gateway MAC address is aa:bb:cc:00:00:00
***GW does not reply to ARP
Configuration:
In order to accomodate this setup, you will need to add a Static ARP plugin which on which you will define the MAC address associated with the Gateway IP address as in the images bellow.
1. Righ click on the IP plugin and chose Add above Static ARP
2. Set the proper (MAC, IP ) association on the Static ARP plugin
**If you are not able to add a plugin, make sure that the configuration is not applied on the ports . Press the button Release Config in Main ribbon and then try to perform the steps again.
