Ixia NGPF
The ixiangpf module is the trafficgen implementation that uses ixnetwork_ngpf
to interface with Ixia devices.
The IxiaNgpf class can connect to Ixia traffic generator devices that are running IxNetwork API server versions 7.50 or higher.
Usage:
devices:
ixia8:
type: tgn
os: 'ixiangpf'
connections:
tgn:
class: genie.trafficgen.TrafficGen
ixnetwork_api_server_ip: 192.0.0.1 # Remote VM IP
ixnetwork_tcl_port: 8012
ixnetwork_version: '9.20'
ixia_chassis_ip: 1.1.1.1 # IxOS
ixia_license_server_ip: 192.0.0.1 # Remote VM IP
ixia_port_list: ['1/1', '1/2']
IxiaNgpf Class
- class genie.trafficgen.ixiangpf.implementation.IxiaNgpf(device, *args, **kwargs)[source]
Bases:
genie.trafficgen.ixianative.implementation.IxiaNative__init__ instantiates a single connection instance.
- isconnected()[source]
Decorator to make sure session to device is active
There is limitation on the amount of time the session can be active to IxNetwork API server. However, there are no way to verify if the session is still active unless we test sending a command.
- topology_config(topology_name='', port_handle='', topology_handle='', mode='config', device_group_name='', device_group_multiplier='10', device_group_enabled='1')[source]
Configure topology under Scenario e.g.
_result_ = self.ixiangpf.topology_config( topology_name = """Topology 1""", port_handle = "1/3/10", )
- multivalue_config(pattern='counter', counter_start='1.1.1.1', counter_step='0.0.0.1', counter_direction='increment', nest_step='0.1.0.0', nest_owner='topology_handle', nest_enabled='1')[source]
Generic NGPF multivalue_config function can be used for Layer2 MAC addresses and Layer3 IPv4/6 etc.
- interface_config_ethernet(protocol_name='Ethernet 1', protocol_handle='deviceGroup_handle', mtu='1500', src_mac_addr='multivalue_handle', vlan='0', vlan_id='1', vlan_id_step='0', vlan_id_count='1', vlan_tpid='0x8100', vlan_user_priority='0', vlan_user_priority_step='0', use_vpn_parameters='0', site_id='0')[source]
Configure an interface with Ethernet information Important input is the mac address information multivalue_handle returned from multivalue_config()
- interface_config_ipv4(protocol_name='IPv4 1', protocol_handle='ethernet_handle', ipv4_multiplier='1', ipv4_resolve_gateway='1', ipv4_manual_gateway_mac='00.00.00.00.00.01', ipv4_manual_gateway_mac_step='00.00.00.00.00.00', ipv4_enable_gratarprarp='0', ipv4_gratarprarp='gratarp', gateway='10.10.10.1', gateway_step='0.0.0.0', intf_ip_addr='multivalue_handle', netmask='255.255.255.0', wait_time=10)[source]
Configure an interface with IPv4 information Input ethernet_handle from interface_config_ethernet() and IP information from multivalue_config()
- test_control(action='start_all_protocols', handle='', wait_time=10)[source]
Various actions: common ones include start_all_protocols stop_all_protocols -action CHOICES start_all_protocols
