To test a resolution without NIC, you can configure a NIC proxy stub to take the place of the NIC. The NIC proxy stub comprises a set of explicit mappings of data keys and values in the NIC proxy configuration. When the SAE (or another SRC component configured to use a NIC proxy stub) passes a specified key to the NIC proxy stub, the NIC proxy stub returns the corresponding value. When you use a NIC proxy stub, no NIC infrastructure is required.
For example, you can specify a subscriber’s IP address that is associated with a particular SAE. When the SRC component passes this IP address to the NIC proxy stub, the NIC proxy stub returns the corresponding SAE.
To use the NIC proxy stub for the SAE:
The Configuration pane appears.
The new NIC proxy configuration appears in the side pane.
The Test NIC Bindings pane appears.
The Key Values name pane appears in the side pane and in the Key Values pane.
