Ixia Licensing
IxLoad 9.00 Update2 is a licensed product. It ships with Ixia Licensing 5.20 EA. When IxLoad tests are executed on Ixia hardware (appliances or load modules in chassis) a license needs to be installed on each chassis or appliance. In Virtual Environment, the license may be installed on a centralized server in your network. For further information about the new IxLicensing system, please refer to the "Ixia Licensing Management User Guide" provided with the software and downloadable from the Ixia web site.Installing a License
Ixia Licensing 5.20 EA upgrades Ixia Licensing 3.x, Ixia Licensing 4.40.x and prior versions on the machines. The reverse is not allowed. Upgrade can be performed for following scenarios: - Ixia Registration Utility (IRU) to Ixia Licensing Utility (ILU) - Old version of Ixia Licensing Utility (ILU) to the latest version of Ixia Licensing Utility (ILU) In case of IRU to ILU upgrade, ILU will overwrite IRU and its registration numbers will be migrated as activation codes in ILU. During install, the system checks the connectivity with Ixia Licensing web servers. Based on the connectivity, the migration can be performed using following methods: - Online Migration - Offline Migration Ixia Licensing 5.20 EA installs: - Mono runtime version 3.8.0 on IxOS Native Chassis - .Net 4.0 on IxOS Windows Chassis - .Net 4.5.1 on Clients and IxLoad VE Chassis. NOTE: Ixia Licensing 5.20 EA installs .Net 4.5.1 on client machines. If an older release of an Ixia product containing .Net 4.0 hotfix is installed on top of this release, .Net 4.0 hotfix installation may fail. To fix this, uninstall .Net 4.5.1 and reinstall the older release of Ixia product and then modify this release of Ixia Licensing.
IxLoad has two components: (1) the 'chassis' component needs to be installed on the Ixia chassis being used; (2) the 'client' component needs to be installed on the user workstation where the IxLoad GUI will be run.(1) Chassis Component Installation
Installation on Windows OS based chassis
After successful installation of IxOS Server application you need to install IxLoad Chassis component found on the DVD or on the IxLoad Downloads And Update site. NOTE: The IxLoad Client component cannot be installed on the Ixia Chassis.XGS12-HS and XGS2-HS chassis
In order to use IxLoad 9.00 Update2 with a XGS-HS or XGS-SD chassis, one needs to install IxOS 9.00 which requires that the operating system running on the controller is FLIX OS 2018.1.0.3.Installation on XGS12-HSL and XGS2-HSL chassis
Starting from IxLoad 8.13 EA, the XGS2-HS, XGS12-HS chassis can optionally be converted to run Native IxOS, for improved stability and performance. The conversion removes the Microsoft Windows OS, and replaces it with IxOS running natively on the chassis (over Linux OS). Once complete, the chassis are effectively converted to XGS2-HSL and XGS12-HSL. For more information, including the conversion process procedure, please download and read the "Converting XGS and PSOne to Native IxOS (PDF)" document available on the IxOS Downloads And Update site.Installation on XGS12-SDL and XGS2-SDL chassis
Starting from IxLoad 8.40 EA, the XGS2-SD, XGS12-SD chassis can optionally be converted to run Native IxOS, for improved stability and performance. The conversion removes the Microsoft Windows OS, and replaces it with IxOS running natively on the chassis (over Linux OS). Once complete, the chassis are effectively converted to XGS2-SDL and XGS12-SDL. For more information, including the conversion process procedure, please download and read the "Converting XGS SD to Native IxOS (PDF)" document available on the IxOS Downloads And Update site. NOTE: The IxLoad Chassis component is no longer needed on the Native IxOS chassis.Installation on PSOne or Novus ONE appliance
For PSOne or Novus ONE there are no IxLoad components required to be installed on the appliance. For proper use of the appliance only IxOS must be upgraded to a compatible build.(2) Client Component Installation
Windows OS Prerequisite Installation Notes
As part of the IxLoad installation, the installer program automatically installs the following prerequisites that are coming as separate installers: Microsoft SQL Server 2014 and Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5.1. In some situations, a dialog may be displayed notifying you to browse to the specific prerequisites installers' location. You may find them under Prerequisites folder in the root of the DVD or you may download them from Ixia website. To access the prerequisites you must sign-in on www.ixiacom.com site and browse to product installation prerequisites site. If you experience any issue related to the installation of these prerequisites please refer to the below notes: NOTE: During installation you may be presented with a error dialog declaring a 1935 error has occurred. One possible cause is the presence of anti-adware or anti-virus software running on the target machine. Please disable these applications prior to your next installation attempt. NOTE: IxLoad requires Microsoft .NET 4.5.1 and Microsoft .NET 2.0. On some versions of Windows, .NET 2.0. cannot be installed separately and must be manually selected with .Net 3.5. - For Windows 2012: please install it through "Server Manager --> Manage --> Add Roles and Features --> .Net 3.5 Features". - For Windows 8.1: please install it through "Control Panel --> Programs and Features --> Turn Windows features on or off--> .NET Framework 3.5". NOTE: In some cases Reporting may not work after IxLoad is installed and the machine is rebooted. This may be because the SQL Server (IXIA2014) service did not start automatically after system reboot due to service timeout. The workaround is to increase the default time-out value for the windows service control manager as provided in the Microsoft link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/922918.Installation on the Windows OS user workstation
If you had a previous version of IxLoad installed, please refer to the section "Installing a License". The IxLoad installer will only install the Client component on the user workstation. In order to run the IxLoad Video test, the user workstation is required to have Windows Media player version 9 or later. IxLoad 9.00 Update2 requires the user workstation to satisfy the following requirements: Minimum - A dual core CPU - A minimum of 4GB RAM - 20GB of free disk space to install plus an additional 5GB of temporary space - Run time free disk space should be at least 10GB Recommended - A quad core CPU - A minimum of 8GB RAM - 64 bit Windows Operating System (See Operating System Support below) - 20GB of free disk space to install plus an additional 5GB of temporary space - Run time free disk space should be at least 10GB Ixia Application Server - Use Case: Multiple IxLoad instances on the single machine and large scale system testing - A quad core CPU - Ixia Application Server running 64 bit Windows 2008/2012 Ultra Server or equivalent - A minimum of 16GB RAM - 20GB of free disk space to install plus an additional 5GB of temporary space per user - Run time free disk space should be at least 40GB Operating System Support The versions of Windows operating systems that are supported are: - Windows 2019 Server Standard 64-bit - Windows 2016 Server Standard 64-bit - Windows 2012 Server R2 Standard 64-bit (*) - Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise 64-bit - Windows 8.1 Enterprise 32-bit and 64-bit (*) - Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise 32-bit and 64-bit - Windows 7 SP1 Professional 32-bit and 64-bit - Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate 32-bit and 64-bit The following Non-English versions of the Windows 8.1 Enterprise operating system are supported: - German - Hebrew - Japanese NOTE: Only English ASCII characters are accepted in input fields in the application or file locations.

Starting with IxLoad 8.20, the IxLoad MW component can be deployed as a standalone OVA or QCOW2 images running Ubuntu 14.04. - The OVA can be imported in VMWare. - The QCOW2 image is embedded inside a .sh script. This image comes pre-configured with 4 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM - To import the QCOW2 image on KVM, execute IxLoad.sh script. This will extract and deploy the QCOW2 image after accepting the EULA terms. - To import the QCOW2 image on OpenStack follow these steps: - on any Linux environment, run "IxLoad.sh -z". This will extract the QCOW2 image after accepting the EULA terms. - copy and import the QCOW2 image in the OpenStack environment. NOTE: when using OpenStack, the pre-configured CPU and RAM values are not used. It is recommended to specify at least 4 vCPU and 8 GB RAM. For further reference please consult the IxLoad on Linux documentation, available from IxLoad (Help section) for custom installation having selected IxLoad Gateway.IxLoad Reporter database migration from 8.10 EA to newer versions
If before this upgrade, you have been using an IxLoad versions older than IxLoad 8.10 EA then a few manual steps will need to be performed to migrate your Reporter database: - Open a Command Prompt - Navigate in the Command Prompt to the root folder of the IxLoad current version installation (C:\Program Files (x86)\Ixia\IxLoad\< version >\) - Run the reporter_migrate_db_ixload.bat script As a result of this script, the preexisting tests results will be migrated to the current IxLoad Reporter database version.IxLoad Installer changes
Starting with IxLoad 9.00, running tests with any of the following capabilities: Analyzer, IPSec, SWu, HeNB, S4SWu, Untrusted WiFi Client, FTP Server, Capture Manager (part of AppReplay and IxLoad-Attack) requires installing the corresponding additional packages from IxLoad download page. These packages are required to be installed on top of the regular IxLoad client installation.AppLibrary installation changes
Starting IxLoad 9.00, AppLibrary Lite version is by default installed with the product. AppLibrary Lite contains basic flows to be used for testing. In order to get the entire AppLib flows database, one needs to install additional AppLibApps.exe package that can be found on DVD or on download page.
Tcl 8.5.17.0 is a prerequisite for using the Tcl component of IxLoad. For additional details, please refer to the IxLoad Tcl API User Guide. The following versions of UNIX/Linux operating systems support IxLoad TCL scripting: - Centos 7(32bit or 64bit) - Debian 8.1.0(32bit or 64bit) - OpenSUSE 13.2(32bit or 64bit) - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (32bit or 64bit) Other versions of Linux and Solaris platforms may operate properly, but are not officially supported. Installation of Tcl Server is required to support execution of Linux/UNIX-based Tcl scripts.

1523501 | The packets captured by Analyzer might appear in a different order than initiated when running the gNodeB N1/N2/N3 stack with Performance Acceleration enabled. |
1523549 | On N1/N2/N3 stack when running AppLib activity with Throughput objective, the throughout objective is not met. |
1523606 | Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) messages are not decoded by IxAnalyzer. Wireshark versions newer than 2.6.0 can be used instead. |
1523607 | When forcefully stopping a test with the N4 SMF simulator, it will wait for all the sessions to detach. This can lead to a very long ramp down time if detaches are failing with timeout. |
1523609 | Use 1 TCP connection per user in order to maximize the active UE count with HTTP traffic on PFCP based simulators. |
1523684 | In some cases the port on which the AMF N1/N2/N3 stack is running might encounter an error when the configuration is released. |
1523685 | VoIPSipPeer activity having Hardware acceleration enabled for RTP is not supported on N1/N2/N3 simulation. |

1497197 | GTPv2 Negative Behavior attributes of a disabled rule can be edited. |
1497330 | GTPv1 impairment rules applied to incoming messages having TEID = 0 might lead to an occurrence pattern different than configured. This behavior is due to the fact that the impairment rules are applied independently by each core of the underlying architecture. |
1497363 | Resizing the Negative Testing GUI on an IxLoad running in an Windows 7 environment could cause the label of the Message Impairment tab to disappear. Maximizing the IxLoad windows will cause the label to reappear. |
1497686 | Performance S11/S1-U tests with impairment rules configured might experience client port failure in long duration scenarios. |
1497731 | Outbound message impairment rules applied on a multi-IP (multi-instance) plugin are subject to distribution algorithms: UEs are distributed between the plugin instances and the message impairment occurrence rules are applied independently for each instance. |
1498342 | Message impairment might impact performance tests. |
1501442 | In order to run HTTP 2.0 or AppReplay activities on IxLoad VE, eGTP Control Plane must be disabled. |
1501534 | AppReplay IP command is not supported with Performance Acceleration. Only AppReplay TCP/UDP/Eth commands are supported with Performance Acceleration enabled on the corresponding NetTraffic. |
1504587 | MME/eNB S11/S1-U/S11-U Send Error Indication Negative Testing rule is applied only in the first iteration if multiple iterations are configured and Start/Stop timers are set. For a multiple iteration test, if only Start timer is configured, the rule is applied from the Start timer in iteration 1 until the end of the test. |
1504810 | In S11/S1-U/S11-U performance tests having a GTPv2 Negative Behavior “Send Error Indication” rule configured on the eNB side, the client peer might experience a reduced number of GTP-u RX Packets Dropped. |
1513584 | Drill Down per PDN connection for EGTP tests with a large number of sessions might not display all sessions. |
1513805 | AppLib, StatelessPeer and VoIP activities are not supported in PMIP scenarios on the MME/eNB and SGW S11/S1-U/S11-U plugins. |
1513891 | Only one PMIP APN is supported for each UE Range on the MME/eNB S11/S1-U/S11-U plugin. |
1516011 | In S11/S1-U/S11-U tests with multiple UE ranges, if at least one UE range is configured for GTP and PMIP and at least one other UE range is configured for PMIP only, an error will be returned. |
1516534 | High performance MME/eNB S11/S1-U/S11-U tests with PMIP APNs configured might experience port failure when stopping the test during sustain time. |
1516821 | In S11/S1-U/S11-U tests users may experience a MME port instability in long duration performance scenarios with Error Indication Negative Testing |
1516822 | In S11/S1-U/S11-U tests users may experience a MME port instability when running Echo Request in Subscriber Mode |
1516826 | Error Indication Statistics are not incremented in tests with UDP Stateless Peer if packet capture is not enabled |
1516893 | In S11/S1-U/S11-U tests having PMIP configured, the EGTP User Plane statistics cumulate GTP and PMIP traffic. |
1519059 | When running on CloudStorm modules in modes 100 Aggregated or 40G Aggregated, GTP messages with teid 0 (e.g. Error Indication, Echo Request/Response) are not correctly routed to the active port. |

1472098 | When trying to load an older Diameter rxf containing the old subscriber database definition, the loading of the file fails and the following error is thrown: "The loaded configuration uses the old subscriber database definition which is not supported starting with IxLoad version [8.40-EA Update1]. Please convert this configuration to the new subscriber database definition using an IxLoad version between 8.30-EA and 8.40-EA." |
1478552 | For Diameter simulations "Use remote configuration" option should not be used at node level. Otherwise "[IPC AddToQueue error]Index was outside the bounds of the array." error is thrown in ixLoad GUI when saving the Diameter Editor changes. |
1483662 | For Diameter Rx simulations with AAR messages containing the Service-Info-Status AVP, the auth_preliminary and auth_final events should be used in the Commands and SmartProfile sections instead of the auth event. The only exception is the SmartAVP section on the PCRF Rx node where the auth event should be used. |
1503288 | On PerfectStorm and CloudStorm modules, the value of 1.1 is not supported for TLS Tunnel TLS Version setting under the PEAP/TLS configuration section. The values of 1.0 and 1.2 are supported. |

1426823 | The WiFi Trusted Client plugin configured for GRE (not EoGRE) encapsulation will automatically disable Performance Acceleration if configured. |
1471652 | The WiFi Trusted Client User Equipment range Publish Statistics option is grayed out if being enabled, disabled, followed by a click in IxLoad GUI outside the UE ranges area. |
1489072 | In WiFi Trusted Client high attach rate tests, a spike in the beginning of the ramp up interval followed by smaller oscillations might be observed. |
1491409 | The header “Prefix “ from “Route Advertisement” message is not displayed in Analyzer/Whireshark capture for all Router Advertisement unicast packets or for the first Router Advertisement packet received in case of multicast when the UEs are connected to the same AP. |
1494025 | WiFi Trusted Client high attach rates are impacted if Performance Acceleration is enabled. The most important impact is experienced on CloudStorm modules operating in 100GE Non-Aggregated mode where the maximum attach rate is around 300 UEs/second. |
1495503 | CAPWAP UE attach rate on CloudStorm 40 G / 100 G Non-Aggregated mode brings no improvement compared to CloudStorm 10 G Non-Aggregated mode. |
1500347 | For WiFi Trusted Client tests in which the sustain time expires while Authentication Request or Accounting Start retries are still performed, those initiated sessions will not be declared as neither successful or failed. |
1500527 | For WiFi Trusted Client Dual Stack tests, it is recommended to set the "Test Options - Network Failure Threshold" to 200%. |
1501687 | WiFi Trusted Client Dual Stack tests with AppLib do not initiate traffic if both IPv4 and IPv6 flows are configured. |
1503917 | In WiFi Trusted Client Dual Stack (DHCPv4 + SLAAC) tests having Performance Acceleration enabled, if IPv6 traffic is initiated in the first approximate 2 seconds of the sustain time, it will be dropped during that period due to Duplicate Address Detection checks. TCP retries might be observed during this period. |
1504325 | WiFi Trusted Client Dual Stack or IPv6 performance tests might experience port failure during the ramp up period. |
1504642 | Relative path support for EAP and EAP-TLS/TTLS Root CA authentication files is not supported when running perl and python scripts. When running python or perl scripts with authentication enabled it is recommended to specify the full path to the authentication files when generating the script |
1504803 | If stopping a high performance WiFi Trusted Client Dual Stack test, it is recommended to use the "Graceful Stop" button. |
1504815 | Consecutive WiFi Trusted Client performance tests should run with the "Release Configuration After Test" option enabled or with manual configuration release between tests. |

1525419 | No Resource Manager support for the MME/eNodeB Sm/M1 eMBMS plugin. |
1528963 | If an eMBMS eNodeB range is associated to a MME range, eNodeB nodes are distributed round-robin among the MMEs. The eNodeBs might send bundled join requests for multiple multicast addresses (due to the optimization mechanism described in RFC3376) and some of the multicast addresses contained in the join messages might be destined to other configured MMEs than its own. |
1531325 | The MME/eNodeB Sm/M1 eMBMS plugin does not support Dual Address (IPv4v6 type) MCPTT. |

1501541 | For VMOne and multiNIC VE chassis administrated via User Management, all ports belonging to the same card must be assigned to the same group because an IxLoad instance needs to take ownership of all ports of the card. |
Bug Number | Notes |
---|---|
1488180 | Rebooting a VE module that was not cleaned properly by the previous test (usually by taking the ownership forcefully) might result in a longer reboot time which may fail a subsequent test. |
1503923 | Allocation of VE resources in User Management groups should be performed either by checking the entire chassis or by clicking port by port, not per card. |
1517819 | In public cloud, emulated router scenarios are not supported. |
