Some common CDRouter test setups are detailed below. This is the most common setup for CDRouter testing. Another common test setup involves wireless on the LAN. On certain systems running CDRouter 9.

LTE routers or hotspots can be tested with CDRouter provided the necessary infrastructure is available. To test a travel router that employs wireless on the WAN, please see this article. Before running tests with CDRouter, a configuration file must be created. The configuration file describes the test setup, general test or protocol behavior, and the configuration of the device under test DUT. The configuration file contains several test variables that are specified using the testvar keyword.

The format of each testvar is as follows:. If a testvar value contains whitespace characters, it must be enclosed in double quotes. For example:. The configuration file is organized into sections which contain all of the testvars associated with a particular CDRouter add-on, protocol, or aspect of the test setup.

The upgrade-config option preserves all testvar values from the source configuration value and carries them forward to a new configuration file. The resulting configuration file will be identical to the source configuration file but will include any new testvars that have been added since the source configuration file was originally created.

Please see this Knowledge Base article for more information on upgrading configs. Most LAN testing can be done with minimal changes to these default values. This section highlights the essential testvars to configure for most situations.
