Thanks!
We appreciate your interest in our software. We keep seeking
ways to improve it; we welcome your feedback and suggestions.
We continue to enhance and expand our Web site -- come and
visit us.
The latest versions of the endpoints are always available for
free at http://www.ixiacom.com/support/endpoint_library/
Note that the Ixia Performance Endpoints have not been tested with
NetIQ applications and may not function properly with NetIQ applications.
Linux kernel 2.4.20
We've tested with packages that implement Linux kernel 2.4.20.
We have not tested this version of Performance Endpoint with
earlier versions of the Linux kernel.
Only TCP and UDP/RTP support
The Performance Endpoint for Linux uses the Sockets interface
to the TCP/IP support shipped with Linux. IPX, SPX, or
other network protocols are not supported in this version.
For IPv6 support, kernel 2.4.18-3 or better is required.
Here's what you need to run the endpoint program with Linux:
- A computer capable of running Linux well. We recommend a CPU such as
Intel Pentium III or better.
For the 64-bit (x64) version of the endpoint you will need
an AMD64/EM64T compatible CPU, such as AMD Opteron or an Intel Xeon
with support for EM64T technology.
For the 64-bit versions of the endpoint the corresponding
64-bit version of Linux is also required.
- 64 MBytes of RAM.
The total RAM requirement depends on RAM usage of the
underlying protocol stack and the number of concurrent
endpoint pairs. For tests involving over one hundred
connections through a single endpoint, additional memory may
be required.
- A hard disk with at least 8 MBytes of space available.
- Linux kernel 2.4.20 or better. Older versions of the Linux kernel
may not support IPv6 properly.
TAR-Based Endpoint Installation for Linux
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the TAR-based installation if you are installing the
endpoint on any Linux platform other than Red Hat (32-bit) or
SuSE (64-bit).
First, make sure that you are logged in as a "root" user. Also
remember all commands and parameters discussed here are
case-sensitive. Use the combination of uppercase and lowercase
letters as shown below (for all the file names, "M" represents the
major version and "m" represents the minor version).
The following instructions describe how to install the endpoint
on a computer with a CD-ROM drive. Put the CD-ROM in your
CD-ROM drive.
If you want to install the 64-bit version of the endpoint, replace
the name of the archives (pelnx_Mm.tar.gz and pelnx_Mm.tar) from
the following instructions with pelinux_amd64_Mm.tar.gz
Enter the following commands, assuming your CD-ROM drive device
name is /dev/cdrom and you are able to create a temporary
directory named cdrom:
mkdir /cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
The CD-ROM contains an archive of the endpoint package. First
use the RM command to ensure a clean temporary install
directory. Then use the TAR command to extract the archive
contents from the CD-ROM:
cd /tmp
rm -fr temp
tar -zxvf ./pelnx_Mm.tar.gz
Next, run the endpoint's installation script to install the
endpoint:
./endpoint.install
The license agreement is shown, presented with the "more"
command. Press the space bar until the end of the agreement is
displayed. You are asked whether you accept the terms and
conditions of the agreement. If you do, enter "accept_license"
and press return.
After the installation is complete, use the UMOUNT command to
unmount the file system from the CD-ROM:
umount /cdrom
During installation, you will see several status messages. Pay
close attention to the output. When the installation is
successful, you see the message "Installation of endpoint was
successful."
The installation script and temporary directory are not removed
automatically if the installation is successful. If you need
the disk space after installing the endpoint, you may delete
the temporary directory and installation script.
Unattended Installation for TAR-Based Linux
You can install the endpoint silently, that is, without
providing any additional user input. Complete the steps, as
described above, through the TAR command. Next, run the
endpoint's installation, adding the "accept_license" parameter:
./endpoint.install accept_license
Removing the TAR-Based Endpoint Package (Uninstall)
You must be logged in as the root user to remove the endpoint
package. If you need to remove the endpoint package from your
hard disk, first stop the endpoint program (if running). Enter
the following command:
/usr/local/Ixia/endpoint -k
Use the following command to remove the endpoint:
/usr/local/Ixia/endpoint.remove
If the removal is successful, you will see the following:
"Removal of endpoint was successful." This removes the files
from /usr/local/Ixia, except for any files added to
this directory that were not present at install, such as the
endpoint.ini file, but does not delete the directory. The
remove program does not automatically delete files added to
the directory that you may need if you reinstall the product.
RPM-Based Endpoint Installation for Linux
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the RPM-based installation if you are installing the
endpoint on Red Hat (32-bit) or SuSE (64-bit).
For installation, first make sure that you are logged in as a
"root" user. Also remember all commands and parameters discussed
here are case-sensitive. Use the combination of uppercase and
lowercase letters as shown below (for all the file names, "M"
represents the major version and "m" represents the minor version).
The following instructions describe how to install the endpoint
on a computer with a CD-ROM drive. Put the CD-ROM in your
CD-ROM drive.
If you want to install the 64-bit version of the endpoint, replace
the name of the RPM file (pelnx_Mm.rpm) from the following
instructions with pelinux_amd64_Mm.rpm
Enter the following commands, assuming your CD-ROM drive device
name is /dev/cdrom and you are able to create a temporary
directory named cdrom:
mkdir /cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
Copy the pelnx_Mm.rpm file from the CD-ROM drive to a local
directory (for example, tmp).
cp /cdrom/endpoint/linux/pelnx_Mm.rpm /tmp
For RPM, use the RPM command to install the endpoint:
rpm -Uvh /tmp/pelnx_Mm.rpm
After the installation is complete, use the UMOUNT command to
unmount the file system from the CD-ROM:
umount /cdrom
During installation, you will see several status messages. Pay
close attention to the output. When the installation is
successful, you see the message "Installation of endpoint was
successful."
Removing the RPM-Based Endpoint Package (Uninstall)
You must be logged in as the root user to remove the endpoint
package. If you need to remove the endpoint package from your
hard disk, first stop the endpoint program (if running). Enter
the following command:
/usr/local/Ixia/endpoint -k
Use the following command to remove the endpoint (you must be
logged in as root to run this program):
rpm -e endpoint
If the removal is successful, you will see the following:
"Removal of endpoint was successful." This removes the files
from /usr/local/Ixia, except for any files that were added
to this directory that were not present at install, such as the
endpoint.ini file, and does not delete the directory. The
remove program does not automatically delete files added
to the directory that you may need if you reinstall the product.
What We Do During Installation
Here is what happens during the installation steps. The
endpoint is installed into the directory /usr/local/Ixia.
A directory is created with the following contents:
- the executable programs.
- the README file.
- various install and uninstall programs.
- the directory cmpfiles. This directory contains files with
the .cmp file extension. These are files containing data of
different types, such as typical text or binary data. These
files are used by the endpoint as data on SEND commands. The
different data types can be used to vary the data compression
performance of your network hardware and software.
- the file endpoint.ini.
Our software ends any copy of the endpoint program currently
running and starts a copy of the newly-installed endpoint. You
can run tests immediately, without a reboot.
Our software displays information on how to update your system
to have the endpoint start automatically upon reboot.
No changes are made to the PATH environment variable of the
root user.
