How do I configure double tagged vlans using restPy

In short I am looking for the restpy equivalent of configuring inner and outer vlan(double stacked). What I have from bgpNgpf sample script is single stacked, like below. But there are no examples for double tagged vlans anywhere and also could not gather much info from documentation

ixNetwork.info('Creating Topology Group 1')
topology1 = ixNetwork.Topology.add(Name='Topo1', Ports=vport1)
deviceGroup1 = topology1.DeviceGroup.add(Name='DG1', Multiplier='1')
ethernet1 = deviceGroup1.Ethernet.add(Name='Eth1')
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
ethernet1.Mac.Increment(start_value='00:01:01:01:00:01', step_value='00:00:00:00:00:01')
ethernet1.EnableVlans.Single(True)

ixNetwork.info('Configuring vlanID')
vlanObj = ethernet1.Vlan.find()[0].VlanId.Increment(start_value=103, step_value=0)

Creating a quicktest

Hello,

I need to create a QuickTest to measure jitter and average/min/max latency of my DUT. I already did this in IxNetwork GUI and tested it. Can you guys point me to an example on this? I saw the load QuickTest.py but that just loads and runs an existing Quicktest; I need to create a new one.

BTW, In IxNetwork, one can change statistics measurement from Latency to Latency and Delay Variation in Statistics Measurement Options. How do we do this in RestPy

Thanks

RestPy: Code for generating class hierarchy and doc

AFAIK the code/script to generate the class hierarchy in RestPy/ixnetwork_restpy/testplatform/sessions/ is not there, will it be added or that stays proprietary?

Same for the generation of the doc in RestPy/ixnetwork_restpy/docs.

Auto generate MkDocs documentation

Need documentations for all the REST API module APIs and sample scripts in MkDoc format.
Implement auto generating docs so the docs show the latest updates.

RestPy: Do not modify global logging configuration

The TestPlatform class creates logging handles and modifies the root logger.
This should be left to the users of the API instead (or at least be optional).

We (want to) use the API from our test framework which already handles logging configuration.
ATM I would need to duplicate the TestPlatform class to work around this.

createEthernetNgpf() new VLAN side-effect

A recent change to this function switched from using specific parameters to using a kwArgs (dictionary). Unfortunately, a small unintended change in behaviour appears to have sneaked in.

Previously, specifying vlanId=None worked fine and no VLAN is created on the Ethernet.
However, now if vlanId=None is set, this None 'vlanId' entry appears in the kwArgs dictionary. The logic to decide what to do checks for the presence of 'vlanId' value in kwArgs but does NOT check for its value being none. To cut a long story short, the result is that all Ethernet interfaces created in this way have their traffic tagged with 802.1Q headers for VLAN 1 which is not what happened before, and is not what one would expect.

RestPy: use requests Session for efficiency

In ixnetwork_restpy/connection.py the Connection object could use a Session from the requests library to reuse TCP connections:
http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#session-objects

If implemented there should also be a way to close that connection (to avoid leaking sockets).

RestPy: Cannot choose correct connection scheme (https)

I connect to an application server running on windows (with ConnectionManager), for some reason the code assumes that linux -> HTTPS and windows -> HTTP, but AFAIK on windows it also uses HTTPS.
The TestPlaform and Connection classes should take the scheme as argument instead of inferring it from the platform.

I'm not sure why the platform is even one of the arguments, it seems it's only used to choose the connection scheme. So I will put "linux" now even though it's running windows.

generateifrequired not regenerating traffic items

What is .../ixnetwork/traffic/operations/generateifrequired supposed to do ? I know it should regenerate "dirty" traffic but what does it mean exactly ? Does it recognize NexGen protocols ?

My case is like follows:

1. I load config. It has some NexGen protocols and traffic items between them configured
2. I start all protocols
3. When protocols are up I do: post - http://10.10.0.222:11019/api/v1/sessions/1/ixnetwork/traffic/operations/generateifrequired - {'json': {'arg1': '/api/v1/sessions/1/ixnetwork/traffic'}} and get 202 success
4. I apply and start traffic but traffic fails (100% loss).

If I go to API browser and generate each traffic item one by one using
ixnetwork/traffic/trafficItem//operations/generate and then apply and run traffic it works fine (0% loss)

Should it makes sense to enhance createIpv4Ngpf() method to support both ipv4 and ipv6?

IxNetwork/RestApi/Python/Modules/IxNetRestApiProtocol.py

Line 434 in 9409826

def createIpv4Ngpf(self, obj=None, port=None, portName=None, ngpfEndpointName=None, **kwargs):

Can we enhance createIpv4Ngpf() (make it generic) method to support both ipv4 and ipv6? and also configBgp() method.

What I'm looking for is to leverage existing RestApi Python modules to test IPv4/Ipv6 and BGPv4/BGPv6.

Thanks

Inability to cahnge where PrefixPools connectTo

When I create prefixPools they connect to 'ethernet', which means my ISIS and BGP both will advertise everything I have, which is undesirable.
I could not find way to chnge the connectedTo key.

def monkey_ixianet_configPrefixPoolsConnector(self, prefixPoolsObj, **kwargs):
    url = self.ixnObj.httpHeader + prefixPoolsObj + '/connector'
    response = self.ixnObj.get(url)
    current = response.json()["connectedTo"]
    self.ixnObj.logInfo('Configuring PrefixPool Connector connecedTo from %s to %s' % (current, kwargs['connectedTo']))
    self.ixnObj.patch(url, data={'connectedTo': kwargs['connectedTo']})

The Rest Python API is quite wet and unidiomatic. I see no particular reason why it should implement AFI specific methods and it even changes the AFI-agnostic keys of REST api to AFI-specific keys, for no particular reason.
It seems it would be lot drier to just use same AFI agnostic keys that REST API expects, and to use single method regardless of API.
Also it's not obvious to me what is the target audience of the Python REST API, it doesn't seem to add much value to using raw REST.

What I've implemented on top of now, and what I think is significantly drier and idiomatic:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import nttixia.ixia

ports  = ["3/1"]
ixia   = nttixia.ixia.Ixia(steal_ports=True, api_port=12010)
ports  = ixia.add_ports(ports)
topo   = ixia.add_topology(ports)
group  = topo.add_group(multiplier=4)
eth    = group.add_ethernet()
ipv4   = eth.add_connected(ip="204.42.112.2", mask=24, gw="204.42.112.1")

bgp.add_network(net2)
bgp.add_network(net3)
isis.add_network(net1)
isis.add_network(net4)
ixia.start()

Example of Loopback class:

from .rest import Args
from .bgp import Bgp

class Loopback:
  IP   = "10.255.0.2"

  def __init__(self, group, **kwargs):
    self.log = kwargs.pop("log")
    self.group = group

    kwargs.setdefault("ip", self.IP)
    ip = { "start": kwargs["ip"],
           "direction": "increment" }

    args = Args(kwargs)
    args.map(args.name(), "name")
    self.name = args.get("name")

    if ":" in kwargs["ip"]:
      self.loopback = self.ipv6(ip, args)
    else:
      self.loopback = self.ipv4(ip, args)

    self.ipObj = self.loopback
    self.bgps = {}

  def ipv4(self, ip, args):
    ip["step"] = "0.0.0.1"
    args.map(32, "mask", "prefix")
    args.set("ipv4Address", ip)
    args.map("disabled", "ipv4AddressPortStep")
    self.log.debug("setting loop with args: %s" % args.rest)
    return self.group.topology.ixia.protocol.configIpv4LoopNgpf(self.group.group, **args.rest)

  def ipv6(self, ip, args):
    ip["step"] = "0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1"
    args.map(128, "mask", "prefix")
    args.set("ipv6Address", ip)
    args.map("disabled", "ipv6AddressPortStep")
    self.log.debug("setting loop with args: %s" % args.rest)
    return self.group.topology.ixia.protocol.configIpv6LoopNgpf(self.group.group, **args.rest)

  def add_bgp(self, **kwargs):
    kwargs["log"] = self.log
    bgp = Bgp(self, **kwargs)
    self.bgps[bgp.name] = bgp
    return self.get_bgp(bgp.name)

  def get_bgp(self, name):
    return self.bgps[name]

This works just fine, but I likely need to revert to raw rest, as I continue to add functionality, I continue to monkey patch the API, and my monkey patches are equally wet, as I cannot write them very dry without significant refactoring.
It seems to me anyone needing to do anything over the REST API, will over time spend less time by writing it without the library.

API to increment IP, MAC & VLAN by multiple steps

Is there any API or a way to increment IP, MAC and VLAN in multiple steps using custom increment [as per legacy Ixnetwork APP], shown in screenshots?

VXlan Encap/Decap

Hello,

My two IXIA ports are connected to an Arista EOS device. I'd like to measure the performance of VXLAN decapsulation by generating VXLAN traffic from one of the IXIA ports, have Arista decapsulate the VXLAN header, and then forward IPV4 traffic to the other IXIA port.

(1) Do you have any example for this scenario where decapsulation happens in one direction? I looked at the vxlanNgpf.py but, unlike my case, that consists of two homogenous device groups and bidirectional traffic tests.

(2) If not, can you please comment on if I need to load both my source and destination device groups with the entire VXLAN stack? or only the source DG?

Do I need to remove the VTEP stack on the right-hand side to get the above scenario working?

Thanks!

Loading streams

Hey,

I'm a newbie here and got a bunch of questions:

(1) Is it possible to store the streams generated by the python API and then load them?
(2) While the samples are definitely useful, is there any place that I can find the documentation on the Python API?
(3) Is there any Python sample where I can get packet forwarding latency, jitter? or more detailed performance numbers.

Thanks!

RestPy:Can a list of src and dest handles be accepted for endpoint set?

I have a list of src and dest handles. Can I send a list of src and dest handles as part of the endpointset.add()

(Pdb) src_handle_list

RestPy: Adding a list of values for ip, Mac etc rather than using increment

I can’t seem to find any examples or how to add a list of values when using the multivalue wrappers in restpy.

I see examples like below where you can increment with a step value and start value.

ixNetwork.info('Configuring IPv4')

ipv4 = ethernet1.Ipv4.add(Name='Ipv4')

ipv4.Address.Increment(start_value='1.1.1.1', step_value='0.0.0.1')

ipv4.GatewayIp.Increment(start_value='1.1.1.2', step_value='0.0.0.0')

But I want something where I have a list of Ips, and I want to configure them as a list.

ip_list = '56.26.0.2,56.26.1.3,56.26.0.4,56.26.0.18,56.26.0.16,56.26.0.7,56.26.0.8,56.26.0.9,56.26.0.10,56.26.0.11'

ixNetwork.info('Configuring IPv4')

ipv4 = ethernet1.Ipv4.add(Name='Ipv4')

ipv4.Address.SomeFunction(ip_list). <<ß---

in HLT Api we did it using multivalue like below.

ip_list

        if ip_version == 4:

            counter_start='1.1.1.1'

            counter_step='0.0.1.0'

RestPy:Getting a session handle for windows platform

I know how to get the session handle when using the linux platform. But if I wanted to do the same for a windows session that already has configuration. How do I do this?

session = testPlatform.Sessions.find(Id=22)
session.Ixnetwork

Non-existent dictionary key referenced in 'getTrafficItemPktHeaderStackObj'

Hi,

I am using the 'modifyTrafficItemIpPriorityTos' function in IxNetRestApiTraffic.py to configure different ToS values across a number of traffic streams..

In the function 'getTrafficItemPktHeaderStackObj', the following call is made:

response = self.ixnObj.get(self.ixnObj.httpHeader+configElementObj+'/stack')

The subsequent 'for' loop then references the dictionary key 'stackTypeId' (eachStack['stackTypeId']) which is not a valid key in the response of this call, resulting in a KeyError.

for eachStack in response.json():
            self.ixnObj.logInfo('\nstack: {0}: {1}'.format(eachStack, eachStack['stackTypeId']), timestamp=False)
            if bool(re.match(packetHeaderName, eachStack['stackTypeId'], re.I)):
                stackObj = eachStack['links'][0]['href']
                break
        else:
            raise IxNetRestApiException('\nError: No such stack name found: %s' % stackName)

return stackObj

Sample of dictionaries returned in the list:

    },
    {

I have the following patch file that is applied during my packaging process that modifies the eachStack['stackTypeId'] to eachStack['displayName'] within this snippet to get the function to work as I think it is intended.

"Error in L2/L3 Traffic Apply" response from TrafficItem's Generate() method.


I have some basic code and a basic test (code below) but Ixnetwork.Traffic.TrafficItem.Generate is not working correctly. But I get the error when I try ixnetwork.traffic.apply() (pic below) . 



def doBasicTest():
  IP = '22.254.11.181'
  test_platform = TestPlatform( IP , platform='linux', log_file_name='restpy.log')
  sess = test_platform.Sessions.find(Id=8020)
  ix = sess.Ixnetwork

  ix.LoadConfig(Files('ixNetworkTestSample.ixncfg'))

  traffItem = ix.Traffic.TrafficItem.find()
  tGenerated = traffItem[0].Generate()
  ix.Traffic.Apply()



I believe the problem is on RestPy's end b/c if I comment out traffItem[0].Generate() and comment out ix.Traffic.Apply() and then use the API browser to run both those methods, ie run a generate() method on the trafficItem and run the Apply method on Traffic, then it will work with no problems. (At /api/v1/sessions/8020/ixnetwork/traffic/trafficItem/2 via clicking Operations then choosing the Generate method and clicking commit, and same-ish thing for traffic.apply()).

Also, if I go into the directory of my python library to [pythonpath]/ixnetwork_restpy/connection.py, and add a sleep command (shown below, line 173) then it works every time.

RestPy: How do I configure VLAN on Interface?

Hi,

I would like to use VLAN at Interface.
However, I cannot find method with a name that enables vlan.

I tried following code and it is work fine.

test_platform = TestPlatform('10.0.0.249', rest_port=11009, platform='windows')     
test_platform.Trace = 'request_response'
sessions = test_platform.Sessions.find(Id=1)
ixnetwork = sessions.Ixnetwork
ixnetwork.NewConfig()

vports = ixnetwork.Vport.find()

interface1 = vports[0].Interface.add(Enabled=True)
interface1.Ipv4.add(Ip="10.140.1.10", Gateway="10.140.1.2", MaskWidth=24)

interface1.Vlan.VlanId = 401
interface1.Vlan.VlanEnable = True
interface1.refresh()

Is my code good implementation?
Otherwise do you have better way to enable VLAN?

Restpy:take csv snaphot erroring out on incorrect api key

The csv file that is saved has an error as such and no data

{"error":"Your API key was not supplied or is incorrect	make sure that you are logged-in or using the correct API key."}

Code is exactly as below

testPlatform = TestPlatform(ip_address=apiServerIp, rest_port=apiServerPort, platform=platform, log_file_name='restpy.log')
testPlatform.Trace = 'request_response'
testPlatform.Authenticate(username, password)

Using an existing Session. Not sure if this is the issue.

session = testPlatform.Sessions.find(Id=3)
stats = StatViewAssistant(session.Ixnetwork, 'Flow Statistics')
result = stats._take_csv_snapshot()

Then opening the file throws an error and no data in it.

RestPy: TCP stack add does not src and dest port

How to add a step iterator for TCP

Hi,
Do you have examples of adding a step iterator for TCP stack. I only see the option for a single value.

configElement = trafficItem.ConfigElement.find()[0]
protocol_template=ixNetwork.Traffic.ProtocolTemplate.find(StackTypeId='tcp')
ipstack = configElement.Stack.find(StackTypeId='ipv4')
tcpFieldObj = configElement.Stack.read(ipstack.AppendProtocol(protocol_template))
tcpFieldObj.Field.find(DisplayName='TCP-Source-Port').Auto = False
tcpFieldObj.Field.find(DisplayName='TCP-Source-Port').SingleValue = int(stream_params['sFromPort'])
tcpFieldObj.Field.find(DisplayName='TCP-Dest-Port').Auto = False
tcpFieldObj.Field.find(DisplayName='TCP-Dest-Port').SingleValue = int(stream_params['dFromPort'])

Something similar to ip address
ip_construct.Address.Increment(start_value=ip_value, step_value=counter_step)

Packet capture in restpy

I'm trying to do packet capture using RestPy. However, the downloaded pcap is empty (while the traffic correctly flows from IXIA port 1 to 2 and the stats show %0 traffic loss). Just wanted to double check with you folks if the following steps are correct (I do have an ongoing ticket--#854652 but the progress is slow there).

Before traffic item creation:
ixNetwork.Vport.find(Name='Ethernet - 002').Capture.SoftwareEnabled = True

After traffic item creation:
ixNetwork.StartCapture()
ixNetwork.Traffic.Apply()
ixNetwork.Traffic.Start()
flowStatistics = StatViewAssistant(ixNetwork, 'Flow Statistics')
ixNetwork.StopCapture()
ixNetwork.SaveCaptureFiles("D:\UserData\memoradi\Desktop", "trace.pcap")

Memory Error

Hello,

I have a list of 16 million ethernet addresses and getting the following memory error when generating the traffic item. I can run my tests when the list size is around 2M.

File "vxlan-encap-multiple.py", line 119, in create_vlan_traffic_item
ethernetDstField.ValueList = list(packets["#DMAC"].values)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ixnetwork_restpy\testplatform\sessions\ixnetwork\traffic\trafficitem\configelement\stack\field\field.py", line 418, in ValueList
self._set_attribute('valueList', value)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ixnetwork_restpy\base.py", line 129, in _set_attribute
raise e
MemoryError

How can I fix this issue?

Bad string check in connectIxChassis

Hi,
I hit a problem when invoking connectIxChassis() in IxNetRestApiPortMgmt.py from RobotFramework.
This check at the top of the function is too restrictive:
"if type(chassisIp) is str:"
The problem is that when I invoke the function from RF the type of chassisIp passed into this is actually "unicode", which is a sub-class of string... but which fails this test. This makes this function unusable for me.

This alternative line works for string or any sub-class of string, so I request you fix up using that logic or similar. This works as basestring is a common base class of all strings:
"if isinstance(chassisIp, basestring):"

I have been running with this for several months, but would be good if you could integrate the fix, so I don't have to keep manually applying the delta.

Thanks,

David

Idiomatic install

What is the recommended way to install this in your own python projects?

Idiomatically I'd like to use pip:

cat >> requirements.txt
-e git+https://github.com/OpenIxia/IxNetwork#egg=ixnetwork
^D

But this won't work because you do not have 'setup.py'. And the organisation of the repository does not really support this. You'd need separate repositories for lowlevel, highlevel, rest etc.

If you want example how to make your repository pip installable, look for example textfsm:
-e git+https://github.com/google/textfsm.git#egg=textfsm

RestPy: Any reason git directories for restPy SDK was removed

Seems like only pip option is there now. Can we please restore the original directories back? We were using git clone and pull rebase to update our repos.

Need to reboot ports to factory default after assigning vport to test port

Hi,
I have a config file, which has certain ports. If I load that config file, during the assignment, the port goes for a reboot and come up online [green]. No issues! Now, If I do the same activity on the same port via RES, then port remains down [red]. To bring up the port, I have to explicitly issue the port reboot to factory default. Below is the code snapshot.

#######################################
import sys, os, time, traceback
import linecache
from ixnetwork_restpy.testplatform.testplatform import TestPlatform
from ixnetwork_restpy.assistants.statistics.statviewassistant import StatViewAssistant
platform = 'windows'
apiServerPort = 11009
apiServerIp = '172.22.202.213'
forceTakePortOwnership = True
ixChassisIpList = ['10.195.151.238']
portList = [[ixChassisIpList[0], 8,14],[ixChassisIpList[0], 8,1]]
testPorts = []
testPlatform = TestPlatform(ip_address=apiServerIp, rest_port=apiServerPort, platform=platform, log_file_name='restpy.log')
session = testPlatform.Sessions.add()
ixNetwork = session.Ixnetwork
ixNetwork.NewConfig()

Port_8_14 = ixNetwork.Vport.add(Name='Port_8_14')
Port_8_1 = ixNetwork.Vport.add(Name='Port_8_1')
vportList = [vport.href for vport in ixNetwork.Vport.find()]

for port in portList:
testPorts.append(dict(Arg1=port[0], Arg2=port[1], Arg3=port[2]))

hrefvport1 = ixNetwork.AssignPorts(testPorts, [], vportList, forceTakePortOwnership)

After the above step, port reboots and remains down. I have to use the below steps to bring up the ports online. Is there anything which I'm doing wrong? Any known issues?

Port_8_14.ResetPortCpuAndFactoryDefault()
Port_8_1.ResetPortCpuAndFactoryDefault()

RestPy:Fastest way to get ipv4 object associated with a specific Ip?

Hi Folks,
Is there a short and fast way to get the ipv4 object associated with an ipv4 or ipv6 address if we have the address?
I am looking to see if you have something below.
IxNetwork.Topology.DeviceGroup.Ethernet.Ipv4.find(Value = '2.2.2.2')

Note: there could be an iterator so it could be a list of ips also and not a single value.

Restpy: What is the diference between configElement and Highlevel stream?

I was trying to append a TCP header to the ipv4 stack. In the examples I see in git, It is being added to the config Element, but this does not get added to the stacklist in highlevel streams. What is the difference here?

RestPy: RestPy equivalent for HLTAPI DisableSuppressArpAllPorts proc

Hi Team,
Is there a restPy equivalent for disabling suppress arp on all ports? In HLTAPI, we had the function below. Please let me know if there is a corresponding restAPI equivalent.

def disable_suppress_arp(self):

results = self.tcl.eval('DisableSuppressArpAllPorts false ipv6')
return results

proc DisableSuppressArpAllPorts { action {ipType ipv4} } {
# Description:
# This API will automatically disable or enable
# suppress ARP for duplicate gateway on all the
# ports with ipv4.

# action = true or false

# Psuedo code:
#    - Verify if the multiValue -pattern is "counter"
#    - If not, make it counter (so that we could create overlays to modify things.)
#    - If it is counter, verify if there is any overlay.
#    - If there are overlays, verify if the correct portName index exists.
#    - If yes, then change its value true/false.
#    - If no, create an overlay and set true/false for the portIndex number.

Any samples for dscp values modification in ip stack?

Figured out 802.1p can be changed by adjusting field values within vlan stack, but seems like DSCP is a little more involved and needs manipulation of multiple fields? Is there any other easy way to do this? If you have an example please post it

Basically what I need to do with DSCP is that when the user provides a specific DSCP value (i.e af11), I need to be able to translate this to adding it to the stack in the traffic item. When looking at the api browser under fields for ip stack there are quite a few and we would need to modify quite a few fields in order to update to a specific dscp value.

Using a list for Mac addresses instead of increment

RestPy:Class based queries

Hi Folks,
I remember in one of the deep dive sessions provided to us we went through an example that describes my query below. But I can't seem to recollect the solution. Would someone be able to provide the answer or point to an implementation.

What I basically need is a class based query for a specific class that is the input to the function, without having to derive the tree of parent Objects.

What works now:

ipV4Object = ethernetObject.Ipv4.find(Name='1/11/13_ethernet_t0:ctx0_b5_sepg4_ 1')

What I need to work: IxNetwork.Topology.DeviceGroup.Ethernet.Ipv4.find(Name='1/7/11_ethernet_t0:ctx1_b4_sepg5_ 1')

Right now the above command typed as is results in the following error.

IxNetwork.Topology.DeviceGroup.Ethernet.Ipv4.find(Name='1/7/11_ethernet_t0:ctx1_b4_sepg5_ 1')

load QuickTest config run it and get Report

Hi,
is it possible, to load a QuickTest config run it and get an Report in RestPy?
I am not sure at the moment, if all the features are implemented in RestPy. If not, is there some documentation, what is missing?
Thanks,
Michael

RestPy: lookup by Href not working as expected.

Opening this issue as a continuation to issue#40
RestPy:Any example to retreive object using href? #40

Seems like the options provided do not work as expected, or I probably need to use a different set of procs to attain the same objective.

Has anyone tried this? I can't seem to get the ixnetwork object or any other object instance using this

RestPy: Is there an api to check traffic state?

I keep hitting this issue on and off and it seems to be with scaled config. Ixnetwork does not seem to be ready to accept a traffic apply or start right after another traffic operation. I tried adding a delay of about 5 seconds after each operation but that does not help always either.
In this instance below. I did a traffic.Stop() and then a traffic.Apply() and the command errors out. It does not happen always. But at least once out of three tries. Is there a way to check state before the apply,stop or start command. This way I do not have to add guesstimated sleep commands all throughout.
FYI: The command does go through if I try it again.
