1. Select All Ports/<your port>/Traffic Generator from tree
2. Select a StreamBlock from the list
3. Click Edit... which displays the Stream Block Editor
4. Go to Frames tab
Questions:
- It shows XML, not a GUI. is that intended?
- We edited the XML (changed a VLAN) and the change doesn't stick. Should this work, or should the XML be read only?
Thanks,
chris
I tried to edit the XML in frame section and changes are not getting saved, also it does not give a user message if not supported. Looks like a bug in changes not getting saved after editing the XML in frame section. We should file that as a bug.
Yes , this was a bug in STC GUI . Thanks for reporting this .
It has now been fixed
Currently this is how we support this feature . If you want to specify the frames , you have to provide an XML tagged input to that field .
In the future versions , we will implement the same GUI that is provided by Spirent TestCenter
Regarding the 2nd question , yes , you should be able to edit the frames. If this is not happening , then it might be a bug . I will look into it and see what is happening .

Can you take a look at the Spirent Tcl API documentation on the packet xml format which Spirent uses and post a link here?
I also tried adding a new stream block and then pasted the xml frame data (from another preconfigured stream) into the frame tab. This did not work either.
This is the xml data I tried adding onto the frame tab
<frame ><config><pdus><pdu name="eth1" pdu="ethernet:EthernetII"><dstMac>00:00:00:00:00:02</dstMac><srcMac>00:00:00:00:00:01</srcMac><vlans name="anon_874"><Vlan name="Vlan"><pri>000</pri><id>300</id></Vlan></vlans></pdu><pdu name="ip_1" pdu="ipv4:IPv4"><totalLength>20</totalLength><tosDiffserv name="anon_877"><tos name="anon_878"></tos></tosDiffserv></pdu></pdus></config></frame>
