  2. Click + Create New to display the Select case options dialog box.

  5. Select Protocol type of the simulated traffic.

FortiTester saves the configuration automatically so you can run the test again later. You can also click Save to save the test case without running it.

Tip1: You can also copy an existing case, and change its settings to create a new case. In the case list, click Clone to clone the configuration. Only the case name is different from the original case.
