Traffic Generation

[chukabume]

when i am trying to start protocol in my test using "start protocol 1:5,1:7".

i am getting error Cannot resolve port 1:5,1:7. when i do just start protocol only with no ports defined it starts on all my ixia ports. i want to start only on these two ports.

is there a way i can do it only on these ports ?

What Ixia application are you using?  IxTraffic, IxNetwork, or IxLoad?  From the command, it seems like IxNetwork?

Hi,

You should be able to start protocols on the portlist using "start protocols <portlist>" command.

Can you please post the response for  the "show protocol" command.?

Repsonse would be something like "Successfully started protocols on ports x,y" .

Thanks,

Vidya

[chukabume]

yes , it is Ixnetwork

[chukabume]

Hi Chukabume,

Thanks for posting the response.

Also, could you please let us know what ports are specified in the session profile?

Thanks,

Vidya

[chukabume]

all these ports shown in the previous file are part of session profile

HI,

So we found that this is bug with the command itself where it does not take "," . We need to update the commandline help.

Try using "start protocol 1:5 1:7"

This should do it.

Am not sure if I made it clear, but use a space between the port specification instead of a comma.

[chukabume]

yep, it worked fine with space in the middle. thanks
