IxNetwork session command reference

We are going to use IxNetwork for the first time and we got following commands listed by quick help on iTest editor. It does not seem have all the commands like, ixTclNet::SendArp, etc. And, we are not sure what is the iTest command "run/stop program" will do.

ixnetwork_commands

iTest user guide claims to refer the Ixia documentation for more information on these commands, but it has its own TCL syntax. Do you have any documentation on exact syntax/usage of these commands and that will help us here? And, the IxNetwork TCL APIs which are not implemented in iTest IxNetwork session?

Regards,
Karumbs.

Looks like we can run the missing IxNetwork TCL APIs this way.

eval ixNet execute apply [ixTclNet::SendArp <ports>]

Can you confirm it?

Wow, I'm sorry that this slid completely under the rug. The commands that we've implemented are a subset of the entire IxNetwork API that try to wrap a lot of the common operations.

Realizing that people will often need to use other commands, we've exposed the "eval" command that will execute the Tcl following it (so yes, eval ixNet execute apply [ixTclNet::SendArp <ports>] should let you do that).
