A summary of the RFC 2544 setup options are outlined below.

See
for more details on how to create new profiles.
Test:
Select the test layer to perform the test.
Options are Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4.
Frame Type:
Select the Ethernet frame type for Layer 2, Layer 3, or Layer 4.
802.3 Raw (IEEE 802.3 frame without LLC) - not available when Layer 3 is selected
802.3 LLC (IEEE 802.3 frame with LLC header)
802.3 SNAP (IEEE 802.3 frame with SNAP header)
Ethernet II (DIX) (named after DEC, Intel, and Xerox, this is the most common frame type today)
MAC/IP:
Tap the MAC and IP blocks on the Frame image to access the setup menus.
Set the Source and Destination MAC address for Layer 2.
Set the Source and Destination MAC and IP addresses for Layer 3.
VLAN:
Off, 1 tag, 2 tags, 3 tags.
The user is able to configure up to 3 VLAN tags (VLAN stacking, for Q-in-Q applications).

The user is able to configure up to 3 MPLS tags.
Note:
MPLS tag configuration is only available when the MPLS option is purchased.
PROTOCOL:
UDP, TCP
MAC, VLAN, MPLS, IP, and TCP/UDP Configurations:
Tap on the Frame image displayed on the screen to configure the MAC addresses, IP addresses, VLAN tag(s), MPLS
tag(s), and test pattern. This brings you to the configuration screens for all the header fields.
Note:
For more information on header configuration please see
in the BERT section.
