Simulate simulate broadcast streams

[TroyBolton]

Hi I'd like to know if it would be possible to simulate broadcast streams in Cisco cml? 

so I I had 2 offices 3 switches at each office and a router on each end connecting the wan.

I doubt it tbh, but thought I'd just ask.

Cheers

Hello Troy,

Yes. It is possible to simulate broadcast traffic. I attached a simple topology that I setup in CML. Here are the results of my pings:

Router1#ping 10.1.1.2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms

Router1#ping 10.1.1.3
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.3, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/5 ms

Router1#ping 10.1.1.255 repeat 1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 1, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.255, timeout is 2 seconds:

Reply to request 0 from 10.1.1.3, 2 ms
Reply to request 0 from 10.1.1.2, 2 ms
Router1#

As you can see when I ping the broadcast address (10.1.1.255) both other routers reply. 

Hope that helps!
