How to configure 10 Ethernet sessions on each of the two ports

This tutorial shows you how to configure 10 Ethernet sessions on each of the two ports. Follow this tutorial to set up IxNetwork API and to use the Wish Console to proceed with your configuration.

This is a new section that is required.

Step 1: Start Wish Console

To start a Wish Console session, do the following:

Click Start.
Click All Programs and navigate to the IxNetwork build.
Click Wish Console for IxNetwork. The Wish Console window appears.

Step 2: Define ports

To define the ports on which the Ethernet sessions will be configured, run the following code snippet:

namespace eval ::py {
	     set ixTclServer 10.212.111.211
	     set ixTclPort   8009
	     set ports       10.21210.212
	}
  

Step 3: Source the IxNet library

To source the IxNet library, type the following command:

package req IxTclNetwork

Step 4: Connect to IxNet client

To connect to IxNet client, run the following command:

ixNet connect $::py::ixTclServer -port $::py::ixTclPort -version 8.50

Step 5: Clean up IxNetwork

To clean up IxNetwork, run the following:

puts "Cleaning up IxNetwork..."
	ixNet exec newConfig

Step 6: Add ports to configuration

To add ports to the configuration, run the following:

puts "Adding ports to configuration"
	set root [ixNet getRoot]
	ixNet add [ixNet getRoot] vport
	ixNet add [ixNet getRoot] vport
	ixNet commit
	set vPorts [ixNet getList [ixNet getRoot] vport]
	set vport1 [lindex $vPorts 0]
	set vport2 [lindex $vPorts 1]

Step 7: Configure Ethernet

To configure Ethernet, run the following code snippet:

puts "Add topologies"
	ixNet add [ixNet getRoot] topology
	ixNet add [ixNet getRoot] topology
	ixNet commit
	

	set topo1 [lindex [ixNet getList [ixNet getRoot] topology] 0]
	set topo2 [lindex [ixNet getList [ixNet getRoot] topology] 1]
	

	puts "Add ports to topologies"
	ixNet setA $topo1 -vports $vport1
	ixNet setA $topo2 -vports $vport2
	ixNet commit
	

	puts "Add device groups to topologies"
	ixNet add $topo1 deviceGroup
	ixNet add $topo2 deviceGroup
	ixNet commit
	

	set dg1 [ixNet getList $topo1 deviceGroup]
	set dg2 [ixNet getList $topo2 deviceGroup]
	

	puts "Add Ethernet stacks to device groups"
	ixNet add $dg1 ethernet
	ixNet add $dg2 ethernet
	ixNet commit
	

	set mac1 [ixNet getList $dg1 ethernet]
	set mac2 [ixNet getList $dg2 ethernet]

Step 8: Assign ports

To assign ports, run the following:

set vPorts [ixNet getList [ixNet getRoot] vport]
	puts "Assigning ports to $vPorts"
	::ixTclNet::AssignPorts $py::ports {} $vPorts force

Step 9: Start all Protocols

To start all protocols, run the following code snippet:

puts "Starting All Protocols"
	ixNet exec startAllProtocols
	puts "Sleep 30sec for protocols to start"
	after 30000
