(c) Cisco Systems, Inc + +Frequently Asked Questions +************************** + + +Can NFVbench be used with a different traffic generator than TRex? +------------------------------------------------------------------ +This is possible but requires developing a new python class to manage the new traffic generator interface. + +Can I connect Trex directly to my compute node? +----------------------------------------------- +That is possible but you will not be able to run more advanced use cases such as PVVP inter-node which requires 2 compute nodes. + + +Can I drive NFVbench using a REST interface? +-------------------------------------------- +NFVbench can run in server mode and accept HTTP or WebSocket/SocketIO events to run any type of measurement (fixed rate run or NDR_PDR run) +with any run configuration. + + +Can I run NFVbench on a Cisco UCS-B series blade? +------------------------------------------------- +Yes provided your UCS-B series server has a Cisco VIC 1340 (with a recent firmware version). +TRex will require VIC firmware version 3.1(2) or higher for blade servers (which supports more filtering capabilities). +In this setting, the 2 physical interfaces for data plane traffic are simply hooked to the UCS-B fabric interconnect (no need to connect to a switch). |
