You can get WANem from here: http:\/\/wanem.sourceforge.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n Since my lab runs multiple hypervisors I found it too complex to build the switching and routing required to implement it as a virtual appliance, so I acquired an old PC and purchased a 2nd network card. This gives me the flexibility needed to implement it as needed.<\/p>\n For ease of implementation I implement it in Bridge mode. Unfortunately Bridge mode does not support all the nice Advanced Mode features, but it does enable you to set the bandwidth and latency (delay) from within the Basic Mode configuration page.<\/p>\n An advantage with Bridge mode is that it will automatically pass through DHCP broadcasts. This is a drawback if running WANem as a router because the current implementation of WANem does not contain the dhcp-helper package, and as of version 2.2, there is currently no way to add it because it is launched through a LiveCD at computer startup, unless of course you use the VMware virtual appliance. As of version 2.2 WANem cannot be installed on a hard drive. This should be possible in a future releases, which will then mean that additional packages can be added, such as the dhcp-helper package, etc.<\/p>\n The following notes were collated from here:<\/p>\n To configure the WANem as a Bridge<\/p>\n When the WANem first boots\u2026<\/p>\n Once it has completed its initialisation, type exit2shell to drop out to the knoppix shell.<\/p>\n To configure, type the following commands:<\/p>\n # Remove any existing IP configuration and bring up all the interfaces: # Create the Bridge-group interface called br0 # Add each interface to the bridge-group br0 # Set an ip address to the bridge-group br0 for management # Add a default Route so that it can be managed from another network Now ping a device on your network to test connectivity.<\/p>\n Type wanem to restart the WANem tool.<\/p>\n To manage the WANem, connect to it via HTTP: You can also access the Knoppix\/Linux level with SSH. WANem CLI (Command Line Interface):<\/p>\n The “help” command provides the available commands list:<\/p>\n WANemControl@PERC>help So as you can see, it so simple to implement and use, and works really well.<\/p>\n Cheers,<\/p>\n Jeremy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WANem (Wide Area Network Emulation) is an awesome tool for emulating a WAN in your test\/dev environment or even a demo lab.
