RFC 2544 Profile allows you to define a profile with primary parameters based on which the RFC2544 tests will be provisioned.
Perform the following steps to create a RFC 2544 profile:
. A series of new windows will now be displayed for step-by-step creation of the profile.Enter value or select the desired parameters and click Next. Refer to the following RFC2544 Profile Creation- General Attributes parameters table for parameter description, the default and acceptable values supported:
