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.
Procedure
1 Select Window > Virtual Machine Library.
2 Select a virtual machine in the Virtual Machine Library window and click Settings.
3 Under Removable Devices in the Settings window, click Network Adapter.
4 Expand Advanced options.
5 Select incoming and outgoing bandwidth settings.
This setting allows you to simulate network bandwidth.
Option 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.
Limit incoming or outgoing data
transfers to a specific data transfer
rate
Select Custom and type the data transfer rate, in kilobits per second, in the 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.
Managing Virtual Hard Disks
You can add, remove, and resize virtual hard disks.
If you want to add more disk space to your virtual machine, you can resize your existing virtual hard disk,
or add a separate, additional hard disk.
Note Having manual or AutoProtect snapshots in your virtual machine prevents you from making
changes to a virtual hard disk. You must delete the snapshots before you can make a change.
