IxLoad How to create an ARP broadcast storm

   IxLoad was not design to test L2 features ( as ARP)  but in case you do not have available other tools as IxNetwork or IxExplorer  there are some ways on  which you create an ARP  storm.

Scenario:
Let's  say you need to have 1000 ARP  request  sent to your Gateway IP address

Setup:
Create one IP Range having 1000 IP address and set the GW as your DUT.
DUT IP=1.0.0.1
Ixia Port IP= 1.0.0.2+1000/22

Configuration:
1. Create one IP range with 1000 clients

2. Click on IP  plugin on the stack and then  click on Plugin settings in Main ribbon.
     Enable  Gateway ARP for each IP Address

3. Apply the configuration in order to generate the ARP storm,  you do not need to run the configuration.
