Appendix A

Landslide Test Server NIC
Configurations

This appendix contains important information regarding your shipment of Spirent
Landslide compatible network interface cards (NICs). Landslide Test System test ports are
located on the C100 Test Server, the C50 combined Manager and Test Server, or the C50
Add-on Test Server. The NIC configurations in this appendix have been selected to
achieve the highest data throughput performance possible. Other configurations are
possible, but can result in degraded throughput performance, re-ordering of port names or
other unexpected behavior.
