Deployment
Landslide C100 Test System
The Landslide C100 Test System is deployed on Spirent Landslide C100 rack-mounted
server platforms. A typical lab deployment configuration is shown in Figure 1-1. The
Landslide Manager hosts the Test Administration Server (TAS) software, which serves the
user interface through the LAN, acts as the data repository, and controls overall system
operations. The Landslide Test Server hosts the Test Server software, which performs the
test operations. The Landslides communicate with the Systems Under Test (SUTs) via an
Ethernet LAN or a direct Ethernet connection.
A single Landslide system supports from one (1) to thirty-two (32) Test Servers. Users
connect to the Landslide test system and access the TAS from a Java Web Client.

Spirent Landslide Test System Installation Guide |15
Landslide C50 Test System
The Landslide C50 Test System provides an economical solution for customers who
require the complete functionality of a full Landslide Test System, but at smaller scale and
lower data performance.
The Landslide C50 Test System consists of an integrated TAS Manager and Test Server
residing on a single, rack-mountable SPT-C50 appliance. Users can add a single stand-
alone, Add-on Test Server for additional scale and performance. In all other respects, the
C50 Test System is the same as the C100 Test System.
Landslide Architecture Terminology
For a complete description of the Landslide architecture and all associated terminology,
refer to the online Help documentation. Select Getting Started > System Overview >

Client Requirements
Hardware and software system requirements are described in the Release Notes.

Standard Landslide System Configuration
Follow the instructions in this section to configure a standard system consisting of a
Landslide Manager and one or more Landslide Test Server(s).
System Configuration Overview
The general steps involved in configuring a Landslide test system are outlined below.
1Install and power up the Landslide C100 Manager and Test Server(s) or the C50
combined Manager and Test Server.
2Provide an IP address on your management network for the Manager and for each
Test Server.
Notes: • For C50 test systems, a second management network IP address is required
only when the Add-on Test Server is part of the system configuration.
•The management network should be different from the test network that
contains the devices/systems under test.
3Configure the Manager’s management port by following the steps in
“Landslide Manager Configuration” on page 19.
4Configure each Test Server by following the steps in
“Landslide Test Server Configuration” on page 19.
5After you have configured your Test Servers, continue with the instructions in
Chapter 5, “Getting Started.”

Initial Installation
Standard Landslide System Configuration
Spirent Landslide Test System Installation Guide |19
Landslide Manager Configuration
The Landslide Manager's management port is located on the front panel of the appliance
and is labeled Mgmt Port (Figure 2-1). The management port's logical name is eth0, and
it handles communications with client PCs and the Landslide Test Servers.
•Ports labeled 1, 2, and 4 are not used
•The manager does not include the test ports in slots 1 through 6
Note: The C50-based Test System, with combined Manager and Test Server, may include
test ports in slots 1 through 6.
Figure 2-1. Landslide Front Panel - Management Port
Follow this procedure to configure the Landslide Manager for LAN communication.
To configure a Landslide Manager:
1Establish a telnet session with the Landslide Manager and configure the management
port (see “Management Port Configuration” on page 20).
2Remove the standard Ethernet cable from the management port.
3Connect the Landslide Manager to your LAN via a standard Ethernet connection from
the management port to a router or switch.
Landslide Test Server Configuration
All Ethernet ports are accessible from the front of the Landslide Test Server. The
management port is in the same location as on the Landslide Manager and is labeled
Mgmt and logically named eth0, as on the manager. Ports 1, 2, and 4 are not used. The
remaining interfaces are located to the right of the management port and are referred to as
Test Ports. The management port handles communications with the Landslide Manager,
and the test ports handle communications with Systems Under Test (SUTs) and other
devices involved in a test.
The location of the management port is shown in Figure 2-1.
Note: The names assigned to test ports depend on the number and type of Ethernet NICs
installed in the test server. Supported NIC configurations and associated port naming are
provided in Appendix A. As viewed from the front, chassis slot numbers increase from left
to right. The leftmost slot is number 1.

Configuring a Landslide Test Server
Follow this procedure to configure the management port for each Landslide TS. After the
platforms for the system, including the Landslide Manager, have been configured,
continue with the instructions in Chapter 5, “Getting Started.”
To configure a Landslide Test Server:
1Establish a telnet session with the Landslide TS and configure the management port
(see “Management Port Configuration”).
2Remove the standard Ethernet cable from the management port.
3Connect the Landslide to your LAN via a standard Ethernet connection from the
management port to a router or switch.
Connect the test ports to the test network via a router or directly to the SUT.
Management Port Configuration
Refer to the applicable procedure if you are using IPv4 or IPv6 addressing on the
management network.
•Refer to page 21 for management port configuration using IPv4 addressing
•Refer to page 24 for management port configuration using IPv6 addressing
Note: The procedures in this section use the following abbreviations:
•TAS – Landslide Manager / Test Administration Server
•TS – Landslide Test Server
•TAS+TS – A combination system comprised of both a Landslide Manager
and Landslide Test Server running on the same server
Follow the procedure in this section to power up a Landslide platform for the first time.
This initial configuration procedure designates and configures the management port for
each platform. The default test port configuration can be modified using the Test Server
Configuration window within the application (see Managing Your System > Test Server
> Managing Your Test Servers in the Help documentation).
The management port is dedicated to communications with the Landslide Manager
(Landslide Test Server platform) or with the user's client PC (Landslide Manager
platform), and is not used for testing on these platforms. The default name and default
address of the management port is eth0 and 192.168.0.100, respectively. Use a default
mask of 255.255.255.0.
