Initial Configuration of XGS2-HS

This section explains the instructions required to configure the IP addresses of the High Performance Processor Module.
There are two management IP addresses required (from the same management subnet) for the operation of the High Performance Processor Mod-
ule:
IP used by the system controller for general management tasks and used for Ixia Web-based user interface (also used to launch Break-
l
ingPoint web user interface).
IP used by the Windows machine where IxOS is running: also used for adding IxLoad chassis ports.
l
By default both IP addresses are configured on DHCP mode.
The two IP addresses needed for management cannot be on the following subnets:
10.1.1.x/24 - internal virtual network
l
10.1.2.x/24 - internal virtual network
l
10.0.x.x/16 - default internal port address. This can be changed from IxExplorer Chassis Properties.
l
Virtual Machines and IP Address requirements for XGS2-HS chassis
The XGS2-HS chassis is designed to support IxLoad, BreakingPoint and IxNetwork. The basic architecture includes a Linux operating system
(FlixOS) that hosts two virtual machines: one for IxOS and one for BreakingPoint.
This scheme requires two management IP addresses:
FlixOS and BreakingPoint are both Linux based, and share a single address.
l
IxOS, which is Windows based, uses a separate address.
l
These addresses can be automatically assigned via DHCP (the default) or statically assigned.
