While most global settings can be set in the generation block, three will be ignored if
placed within the generation block:
set Link Speed =
set GenerationMode =
set SSC =
These commands should be configured either in the Setting.inc file or at the beginning of
the traffic generation file as a global statement.
Primitive and Frame Definitions
Five other Include files are provided that define the most of the known templates for
Primitives and Frames. The five are:
•
PrimitivesDecl.inc
•
AddressFramesDecl.inc
•
SSPFramesDecl.inc
•
SMPFramesDecl.inc
•
STPFramesDecl.inc.
Each of the Frame templates defines header and field structure.
The default value for all Frame fields is zero.
Special
Conditions
for Frames
There are three conditions about Frames that need to be kept in mind when configuring
Frame generation:
1. Frame delimiters need to agree - At the present time, when defining a Frame, make
sure that the Frame Prologue and Frame Epilogue agree. Do not mix types. For
example, do not mix a SAS Start of Frame (SOF) with a SAS End of Address Frame
(EOAF).
A SAS SOF should be matched to a SAS EOF, a SAS SOAF should be matched to a SAS
EOAF. If generating SATA traffic, a SATA_SOF should be matched to a SATA_EOF.
At the present time, if you mix different types of prologues and epilogues for any given
Frame, the Frame will be ignored.
