Net-O₂ ATTEST Industrial Networking testing solutions

Industrial environments are increasingly being standardized with IP and Ethernet based networks. Though the communication protocols used are predominantly same as the ones used in enterprise networks, some protocols such as MRP and Real-time Ethernet that are specific to Industrial networks.

As network equipment manufacturers continue to develop products using open platforms and third-party software, the availability of Net-O₂'s comprehensive automated tests for verifying industrial networking protocols, provides the advantage of reduced testing time and shorter time to market, with enhanced quality.

Net-O₂ ATTEST Multi-service/Edge equipment test solutions provide automated tests for Multi-service and edge devices in the service provider networks.

Net-O₂ ATTEST-XP test suites provide fully automated comprehensive verification of network equipment covering tests for Functionality, Multi-protocol behavior, Scalability, Robustness, etc.

Net-O₂ ATTEST-CTS test suites verify conformance to specific communication standards.

Net-O₂ ATTEST-XP and ATTEST-CTS test suites are based on the Net-O₂ ATTEST Testing Framework

Net-O₂ ATTEST-XP test suites are available for comprehensive verification of Layer 2 functionality such as LACP, Spanning tree, IGMP Snooping, IPv4 routing functionality such as OSPFv2, VRRP and IPv6 routing functionality such as OSPFv3.

Net-O₂ ATTEST-XP LACP test suites verify link aggregation (LACP - IEEE 802.3, Clause 43) functionality and provide comprehensive verification for:

• Protocol functionality

• Scalability support

• Aggregation of links for max links support and detachment of the links

• Data forwarding for aggregated links and disabled links

• Dynamic VLAN membership formation for the aggregated links

• Verification of tagged data forwarding over the aggregated ports

Net-O₂ ATTEST-XP RSTP, MSTP and STP test suite provide comprehensive verification for Spanning Tree Protocol functionality including:

• Port states and transitions

• Forwarding of data on allowed and blocked ports

• Port roles and transitions

• Aggregated links and individual links

• Root guard, BPDU filtering etc.

Net-O₂ ATTEST-XP IPv4 and IPv6 test suites provide comprehensive verification of IP routing functionality including:

• Topology change and Route propagation

• Dynamic Routes (OSPF, RIP) and Static Routes, route redistribution

• OSPF ABR, ASBR, NSSA-ASBR

• Multi-assess links, Virtual links

• RIP - Split horizon, Poison reverse

• VRRP - Master, Backup routers

In addition, the following Net-O₂ ATTEST-CTS Conformance Test Suites

• Layer 2 bridging: LACP, RSTP, MSTP, VLAN, IGMP Snooping, etc.

• IPv4: IPv4 forwarding, RIP, OSPF, IGMPv3, PIM-SM/DM, DHCP Relay etc.

• IPv6: IPv6 Basic, IPv6 Advanced, IPv6 tunnels, OSPFv3, MLD, PIM-SM/DM, BGP+,  ISISv6 etc.

provide a wide range of Layer 2 and IP conformance test suites, thus ensuring better interoperability with other vendor implementations.
