DHCP example configuration with traffic IxNetwork NGPF

Scenario:
Use 2 ports back to back
Configure 1000 DHCP clients each 100  in the same VLAN and  10 DHCP server, one in each vlan. Send L2/3 Traffic from client to his server

We are going to start the configuration by adding just 1 DHCP client in each VLAN

Configure DHCP clients
1.a Go to Scenario and add a port in Topology1

1.b Enable DHCP client on  the port and click finish

1.c Automatically a   Device group containing 10 instances ( default) will appear in topology

2. Go to Protocol Tree->Next Gen Framework subtree and click on Ethernet
  2.a From the master pattern ( blue raw)  enable VLAN

  2.b From master patter set the VLAN as incremental step 1

3. Go to Protocol Tree->Next Gen Framework subtree and click on DHCP client
3.a  From master pattern  configure Server Address as incremental

Configure DHCP server
1.a Go to Scenario and add a new topology

1.b Enable DHCP client on  the port and click finish

1.c Automatically a   Device group containing 10 instances ( default) will appear in topology

2. Go to Protocol Tree->Next Gen Framework subtree and click on Ethernet
  2.a From the master pattern ( blue raw)  enable VLAN and set the VLAN as incremental step 1

3. Go to Protocol Tree->Next Gen Framework subtree and click on IP
   3.a Set the DHCP servers IP addresses

4. Go to Protocol Tree->Next Gen Framework subtree and click on DHCP server
   4.a  From master pattern  set the pool  initial value

  
 4.b From master pattern  set the pool  size

   
4.c  From master pattern  set the pool   gateway

Start DHCP server

Start the DHCP  clients. 
All the DHCP  clients should obtain an IP address

Modify DHCP client configuration to map 1000 DHCP clients
*** stop the DHCP clients 
1. Modify the number of instances to 1000

2.a Go to Protocol Tree->Next Gen Framework subtree and click on Ethernet
       Change the VLAN ID pattern to Custom from Master raw

2.b Go to Protocol Tree->Next Gen Framework subtree and click on DHCP client
        From master pattern  configure Server Address as Custom

Start devices and check all are up

Create the Traffic
Configure a Traffic Item which sends traffic in each VLAN from the clients to the server
1. Open Add L2/3  traffic wizard
1.a On source side add 10 selection each containing 100 adresses

1.b On destination side add 10 selection  each containing 1 address

*** the selection are paired 1to1  in the order that they were added, for example Selection1 from source side will send traffic only to Selection1 on destination side and so on.

1.c Verify the pattern by  checking the flow groups in preview

2.Start traffic. Check that the load is distributed equally to the destination IP address
*** Enable tracking on IP destination when you create the Traffic Item in order to have this option
