How to start-all/stop-all protocols with Restpy ?

[sshuguan]

1. On ixia GUI (home tab), there are Protocols->Start-All (or Stop-All) buttons. What are corresponding Restpy APIs to achieve the same operations ?
2. How do I start/stop Dhcp and Dot1x protocols by Restpy APIs ? (no such method or attributes under ...->globals->protocolStacks->dot1xglobals (or dhcpglobals)

# start and stop all protocols
from ixnetwork_restpy.testplatform.testplatform import TestPlatform

testplatform = TestPlatform('127.0.0.1')
sessions = testplatform.Sessions.add()
ixnetwork = sessions.Ixnetwork
ixnetwork.StartAllProtocols()
ixnetwork.StopAllProtocols()

# start and stop dhcp protocols
from ixnetwork_restpy.testplatform.testplatform import TestPlatform

testplatform = TestPlatform('127.0.0.1')
sessions = testplatform.Sessions.add()
ixnetwork = sessions.Ixnetwork
dhcp = ixnetwork.Vport.find().ProtocolStack.Ethernet.find().DhcpEndpoint.find()
dhcp.Start()
dhcp.Stop()

# start and stop dot1x protocols
from ixnetwork_restpy.testplatform.testplatform import TestPlatform

testplatform = TestPlatform('127.0.0.1')
sessions = testplatform.Sessions.add()
ixnetwork = sessions.Ixnetwork
dot1x= ixnetwork.Vport.find().ProtocolStack.Ethernet.find().Dot1x.find()
dot1x.Dot1xStart()
dot1x.Dot1xStop()

thanks.

There are "Exception type: IndexError" when Dot1xStop() and Dot1xStop() executes:

any clues? thanks

It appears that your utility library bypasses the actual Dot1xStart function in the library. The Dot1xStart function inserts any required hrefs as part of the payload which may be missing. Also are you using dot1x protocols from legacy protocolStack or from topology?

the dot1x protocol is from protocolStack. below are part of my codes:

...... ixvps = ixnetwork.Vport.find() for vp in ixvps: vpp = vp.ProtocolStack.Ethernet.find().Dot1x.find() vpp.Dot1xStop() # it throws Exception IndexError vpp.Dot1xStart() # it throws Exception IndexError

[ajbalogh]

you should confirm that you have at least one Dot1x instance. the following does not give me an indexerror.

from ixnetwork_restpy.testplatform.testplatform import TestPlatform

testplatform = TestPlatform('127.0.0.1') sessions = testplatform.Sessions.add() ixnetwork = sessions.Ixnetwork ixnetwork.NewConfig() ixnetwork.Vport.add().ProtocolStack.EthernetEndpoint.add().Range.add().Dot1xRange.add() dot1x = ixnetwork.Vport.find().ProtocolStack.EthernetEndpoint.find().Dot1x.find() assert(len(dot1x) == 1) dot1x.Dot1xStart()
