IxTclHal API Description
This chapter presents an organized description of the IxTclHAL API commands based on major topics. The main topics covered are the following:
- Chassis, Cards and Ports: Basic overhead to set up the test and the hardware.
- Data Transmission: Setting up streams and flows to be applied to ports.
- Data Capture and Statistics: Setting up conditions to capture received data and statistics.
- Interface Table: Setting up interfaces and IP addresses.
- Port CPU Control: Setting up and executing code and commands on port CPUs.
All of the commands are covered within these sections, but only the most significant options and sub-commands are discussed. Not all of the options, nor all of the sub-commands can be assumed to be discussed in this chapter. In particular, if not otherwise noted the get, cget, config, set, setDefault, decode and write sub-commands are assumed to exist and to perform standard functions.
Appendix A - IxTclHAL Commands includes complete descriptions of each of the IxHal commands.
