Performance Test Procedure
4.1
Tunnel Mode
4.1.1 Loading Kernel and Driver
The following steps should be performed on both gateway servers C and D.
Step 4.
Make sure the correct kernel version is running:
The running kernel should be the version you installed from the Innova IPsec software package.
See
Section 1.1, “Prerequisites,” on page 5
.
Step 5.
Load the Innova IPsec driver:
Step 6.
Make sure the drivers are loaded:
The above four drivers should be running.
Step 7.
Verify no error messages in kernel log:
4.1.2 Configuring IP Addresses
Step 1.
Configure IP addresses for the six interfaces on the four servers:
