Licensing 

Ixia Licensing
IxLoad 8.50 EA Update2 also requires that a license to be installed for each chassis used by IxLoad. That license may be installed on each chassis or on a server on your network, 
referred to as the central license server. 

IxLoad 8.50 EA Update2 ships with Ixia Licensing 5.10 EA.

Some of the key benefits of this new licensing system are:
    - Simplified activation procedure
    - Improves offline activation using Request files  
    - Enhanced Host ID calculation to increase uniqueness of Host IDs
    - Allows remote activation of licenses
    - Allows configuration of Proxy settings

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 5.10 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 5.10 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 5.10 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.

Installation Notes 

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 install IxLoad 8.50 Update2 on a XGS-HS or XGS-SD chassis, the operating system running on the controller must be updated to FLIX OS 2018.1.0.3.
          The update procedure is described in the document named "FLIX OS Upgrade Guide (PDF)" available on the IxOS Downloads And Update site.

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

Deployment of the IxLoad middleware (MW) on Linux
    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.

Tcl/Tk Support for Client Applications 

    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.

1504670 After a failed license check for a WiFi Trusted Client test, running without previously releasing configuration results in DHCP or traffic messages being transmitted without the GRE encapsulation.

Known Issues List

Analyzer

Bug Number Notes
1504790 In isolated scenarios, Analyzer might generate erroneous captures. In this case, it is recommended to re-initiate IxLoad.

IxLoad-Infrastructure

Bug Number Notes
1494015 On PerfectStorm 40G there is a throughput degradation (compared to IxLoad 8.40-EA) for Wireless simulations. The maximum throughput has decreased from ~38GB to ~36GB.
1499173 Running two consecutive tests from the same IxLoad REST session on the Linux OVA with Analyzer enabled will generate a 'Failed to apply configuration' error
1500520 REST API samples ran on the Linux OVA that have Analyzer enabled and generate large captures files can report 'Test cleanup failed' errors after the test is stopped.

IxLoad-Video

Bug Number Notes
1504125 MOS not calculated for traffic received from Youtube real servers.

IxLoad-VoLTE

Bug Number Notes
1502317 After a BYE request triggered by "Automatic End Call" functionality is sent by a VoIP SIP Peer activity under a VoIP SIP Cloud, the 200 Ok response received will be proccessed by the proxy and not dispatched to the peer. VoIP SIP cloud may stop process message after trying to send a SIP message to a VoIP SIP activity running on the same port.
1503434 In case HTTP server abruptly ends the TLS connection (by sending TCP FIN) while UE is still downloading a file from the server, the "RCS File Download Failed" statistic is not incremented. This might be considered a corner case scenario. Typically, in error cases the TCP connection is closed with TCP RST.
1503907 In a test scenario containing multiple APNs if the tst file is saved under a different name, the APN selection in the Command Editor section is reset to the default value (the first configured APN in the APN list).

IxLoad-Wireless-EGTP

Bug Number Notes
1462899 S11/S1-U/S11-U SGW does not expose buffering statistics.
1462900 S11/S1-U/S11-U SGW does not buffer Stateless Peer traffic.
1462904 A SGW S11/S1-U/S11-U plugin performing CIoT that is buffering due to a received Downlink Data Notification Acknowledgement with a specified EPC Timer does not send subsequent Downlink Data Notification messages for bearers with a higher priority (i.e. ARP priority level).
1462907 The S11/S1-U/S11-U SGW plugin performing CIoT after receiving a Downlink Data Notification Acknowledgement with a specified EPC Timer does not restrict the buffering time to the EPC timer (or a guard timer), being limited only by the port resources.
1464427 Errors might be observed when stopping tests during the ramp-up interval.
1497087 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.
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.
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.
1500944 Currently there is a limitation of using two FTP servers on the same Virtual Load Module.
1501442 In order to run HTTP 2.0 or AppReplay activities on IxLoad VE, eGTP Control Plane must be disabled.
1501450 Only two NetTraffics per Virtual Module Card are supported.
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.
1503266 For S1-MME/S1-U VoLTE tests running on CloudStorm, if the Control Plane, User Plane or PDN IP Type is changed from IPv4 to IPv6, the configuration is not correctly applied. To avoid this behavior, it is recommended to delete the Meshing after changing the IP type.
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.
1504829 Rerunning a S11/S1-U/S11-U test with a "Send Error Indication" Negative Behavior rule configured without previously releasing configuration will result in the rule not being applied.

IxLoad-Wireless-ENodeB

Bug Number Notes
1485742 S1 Setup rate is not constant when trying to run test with 48000 eNBs
1493354 In 100G CloudStorm port mode, HeNB Gateway (Secured) may fail to initialize for large number of tunnels e.g. 48000. The workaround is to reduce the number of tunnels.
1495088 In 100G CloudStorm port mode, HeNB Gateway (Secured) may fail with an error when trying to perform HTTP GET Throughput. This behavior is not observed for HTTP PUT.
1495864 HeNB port may fail with an error when trying to attach 1920k UEs with IPv6 or IPv4v6 PDN Type (Using SLAAC for IPv6 address allocation). The workaround is to use PCO for IPv6 address allocation.
1501250 UEs become Connected after SCTP link is up even if they were idle before the SCTP link went down.

IxLoad-Wireless-EPC-Diameter

Bug Number Notes
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."
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.

IxLoad-Wireless-EPC-WiFi-Offload

Bug Number Notes
1426823 The WiFi Trusted Client plugin configured for GRE (not EoGRE) encapsulation will automatically disable Performance Acceleration if configured.
1463839 WiFi Trusted Client tests with large number of IPv6 stations can fail due to a race condition when running on PerfectStorm or CloudStorm 10G ports. Increasing the number of EoGRE tunnels reduces the race probability.
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.
1474456 WiFi Trusted Client scenarios with mobility and IPv6 / IPv4IPv6 UEs are not supported.
1478436 WiFi Trusted Client scenarios with mobility and AppLib are not supported.
1485444 In WiFi Trusted Client tests with a high number of subscribers and high attach/handover rates running on 100GE Non-Aggregated mode CloudStorm cards, the attach/handover rates might have a spiky or oscillating profile.
1486801 Manually stopping a WiFi Trusted Client high performance test during ramp up or ramp down might result in port failure.
1486883 WiFi Trusted Client throughput tests should be configured with Simulated Users Test Objective or with Throughput Objective and Simulated Users constraint.
1486885 For WiFi Trusted Client EoL2TPv3 throughput tests with IPv6 subscribers and Performance Acceleration enabled, lower throughput than expected might be observed on rare occasions.
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.
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.

VE

Bug Number Notes
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.
