"""IxNetwork traffic generator model.
Provides a model for an IxNetwork machine and appropriate applications.
This requires the following settings in your config file:
* TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_LIB_PATH
IxNetwork libraries path
* TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_PORT
IxNetwork host port number
* TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_USER
IxNetwork host user name
* TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_TESTER_RESULT_DIR
The result directory on the IxNetwork computer
* TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_DUT_RESULT_DIR
The result directory on DUT. This needs to map to the same directory
as the previous one
The following settings are also required. These can likely be shared
with an 'Ixia' traffic generator instance:
* TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_HOST
IXIA chassis IP address
* TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_CARD
IXIA card
* TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_PORT1
IXIA Tx port
* TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_PORT2
IXIA Rx port
If any of these don't exist, the application will raise an exception
(EAFP).
Additional Configuration:
-------------------------
You will also need to configure the IxNetwork machine to start the IXIA
IxNetworkTclServer. This can be started like so:
1. Connect to the IxNetwork machine using RDP
2. Go to:
Start->
Programs ->
Ixia ->
IxNetwork ->
IxNetwork 7.21.893.14 GA ->
IxNetworkTclServer
Pin a shortcut to this application to the taskbar.
3. Before running it right click the pinned shortcut and go to
"Properties". Here change the port number to your own port number.
This will be the same value as "TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_PORT" above.
4. You will find this on the shortcut tab under the heading "Target"
5. Finally run it. If you see the following error check that you
followed the above steps exactly:
ERROR: couldn't open socket : connection refused
Debugging:
----------
This method of automation is quite error prone as the IxNetwork API
does not give any feedback as to the status of tests. As such, it can
be expected that the user have access to the IxNetwork machine should
this trafficgen need to be debugged.
