How to setup IP spoofing in jmeter?

Question

I am now load testing a website through jmeter from my machine. But I want a real world scenario , so can ip aliasing or ip spoofing be used by jmeter which will look like requests are being sent from different ip addresses.?

Solution

Yes it can, see property Source IP address::

• http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Request

Note that you must use HTTPClient implementations.
