ixia-c-one

ixia-c-one is a re-packaged (as a single-container) flavor of multi-container application ixia-c.
This repository hosts bare minimum artifacts (configurations and tests) to get started with containerlab and ixia-c-one.

Prerequisites

x86-64 Ubuntu 20.04 Server
At least 2 CPU cores, 4GB RAM and 64GB HDD
Docker (https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/)
Go 1.17+ (https://go.dev/doc/install)
curl

Getting Started

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/open-traffic-generator/ixia-c-one.git && cd ixia-c-one

Get containerlab with newly introduced support for ixia-c-one plugin

curl -kLO https://github.com/open-traffic-generator/ixia-c-one/releases/download/v0.0.1-2610/containerlab
chmod +x containerlab

Test Examples

Arista cEOS Layer2 Traffic and BGP v4/v6 Tests

Create Topology
```
sudo ./containerlab deploy --topo ixia-c-one-ceos.clab.yaml
```
If this step fails, most probably you do not have the ceos docker image. Please obtain the image from https://www.arista.com/en/support/software-download and re-tag it as specified in .yaml.

Run Tests

# all tests, test configs and helpers are kept inside this directory
cd tests
# modify hostnames of ixia-c-one (otg) or ceos (dut) if there was a change in .clab.yaml
vi const.go

# Modify contents of test contents for L2 forwarding test with DUT acting as a switch if needed
# and note the name of Test* function.
vi l2_traffic_test.go
# Run the test using the name noted above. 
go test -run=TestL2Traffic -v | tee out.log

# Modify test contents of L3 forwarding test with DUT acting as BGP router if needed and note the
# name of Test* function
vi bgp_route_install_test.go
# Run the test using the name noted above
go test -run TestBGPRouteInstall

Destroy Topology

sudo ./containerlab destroy --topo ixia-c-one-ceos.clab.yaml
sudo docker volume prune
