Unable to install TREX GUI in Ubuntu 20.04

[Geiner Ernesto Miranda (geimiran)]

Team, good day!

I am sending this email because I have not been able to install TREX on a Ubuntu box:



These are the JAVA packages I have installed so far:

 

 

I am running the command and I get the following error:

 

 

Is there a chance that you can help me with this setup? Thanks!

Hi Geiner,

The GUI was developed and maintained by a different team and for a very long time that not maintained. 

I believe that even if you manage to install it, it won't work with the latest trex server. 

My suggestion is to work with the TUI/Console that is part of the trex package. 

Thanks

Hanoh

hi i run the server now how to check the traffic in the CLI mode . 

i pulled the docker image and then I run the docker container of the trex.
i ran these commands 

docker pull trexcisco/trex

docker run --rm -it --privileged --cap-add=ALL trexcisco/trex:latest

$root@]./t-rex-64 -i

I am inside now how to check the traffic any suggest any videos or links which could help me to do .

Hi Sai, 

The docker is not up to date, suggest to use the package first as suggested in the manual 

Once you are familiar with it, build your own docker based on latest package 

thanks

Hi 

  can u explain this a bit how to do that configuration the below documentation.

	Start traffic on port 0 (imix profile)
	Show the stats

TRex configuration file /etc/trex_cfg.yaml

 - port_limit    : 2
   version       : 2
   low_end       : true                 #
   interfaces    : ["veth0", "veth1"]   #
   port_info     :  # set eh mac addr
                 - ip         : 1.1.1.1
                   default_gw : 2.2.2.2
                 - ip         : 2.2.2.2
                   default_gw : 1.1.1.1

	low-footprint mode ( require less resource), use one thread
	use veth0/veth1 as DP ports conntect to an internal switch

You will need to redirect the folowing ports 4500/4501/4507 to use the external GUI for that you can use this command [bash]>docker run --rm -it --privileged --cap-add=ALL -p 4500:4500 -p 4501:4501 -p 4507:4507 trexcisco/trex

Download the GUI from GitHub trex-gui-release
