Simulate a Network Environment with
Fusion Pro

In
Fusion Pro
, you can use advanced virtual network adapter settings to limit the bandwidth, specify the acceptable packet loss percentage, and create network latency for incoming and outgoing data transfers for a virtual machine.
The advanced virtual network adapter settings allow you to simulate a network environment that differs from your own.
  1. Select
    Window
    Virtual Machine Library
    .
  2. Select a virtual machine in the
    Virtual Machine Library
     window and click

    .
  5. Select incoming and outgoing bandwidth settings.
    This setting allows you to simulate network bandwidth.

    Description
    Limit incoming or outgoing data transfers to the data transfer rate for a specific network connection type
    Select the network connection type from the
    Bandwidth
     drop-down menu. The value in the
    Kbps
     text box changes to the data transfer rate, in kilobits per second, of the network connection type that you select. For example, if you select
    Leased Line T1 (1.544 Mbps)
    , the value in the
    Kbps
     text box changes to 1544.

    Kbps
     text box.
  6. Enter the acceptable packet loss percentage for incoming and outgoing data transfers in the
    Packet Loss (%)
     text box.
    This setting allows you to simulate network packet loss. The default setting is 0.0%. The packet loss range is 0 to 100%.
  7. Enter numbers to set the latency in milliseconds for incoming and outgoing data transfers.
    This setting allows you to simulate network latency. The latency range is 0 to 2,000 ms.
