@bortok I am trying to run this test (python3 scripts/quickstart_snappi.py) and I am getting the error you mentioned (ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused), have you found a solution for this? .

@yennym3 most likely caused by change in default TCP port ixia-c-controller listens on. It is now TCP/8443

@yennym3 most likely caused by change in default TCP port listens on. It is now ixia-c-controller``TCP/8443

Modifying the port to 8443, the error persists:
