About This Release

IxNetwork 5.30 EA SP5 Patch1 is an

support for IxNetwork-FT (Feature Test) replacing support for the legacy IxRouter

application.

See the specific IxNetwork- FT sections below for application compatibility

requirements and known issues. See the Product Compatibility Matrix for

IxNetwork-FT hardware support.

Upgrading from a release prior to IXOS 5.10 SP2

To ensure proper operation of an Ixia chassis with IxOS 5.10 EA SP3, prior to

installing this release you must un-install all previous versions of Ixia applications,

Ixia StatEngine, Ixia StatEngine PCPU packages and IxOS. You should use the Add/Remove

utility in

the Windows Control Panel. After the uninstallations are complete the

chassis must be rebooted.

IxOS Compatibility

IxNetwork 5.30 EA SP5 Patch 1 requires minimum IxOS 5.20 GA Patch 2 or IxOS 5.30

EA SP2 Patch1 or later versions of IxOS 5.30 to be installed.

Licensing

IxNetwork 5.30 EA SP5 Patch1 requires that a license for its use be installed for each

chassis used by IxNetwork. That license may be installed on each chassis or on a

server on your network, referred to as the central license server.

NOTE: IxOS 5.00 SP2 and later versions of IxOS also require a license. Please

read the IxOS release notes for license operation and installation

instructions.

IxNetwork 5.30 EA SP5 Patch1 ships with Ixia Licensing 2.70 EA SP1.

Installing a License

If you wish to use a central license server, make sure to install the Licensing

Package on that server. This can be downloaded from the Ixia Support website.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of IxNetwork or IxRouter or are

evaluating IxNetwork, please jump ahead to

If this is a new installation of IxNetwork, you should have received an email

with your Registration Number and Password. If you have not received it yet,

please jump ahead to

Your license is installed using the Ixia Registration Utility (IRU) from the

start menu (Start->Ixia->Licensing->IRU). You may run the IRU from the chassis

or from any Windows host connected to the chassis. Select the Register choice

and press the Start button. Follow the instructions on the screen. In Step 2,

enter the name or IP address of the chassis that the license will apply to. In

step 3, if you are using a central license server, select 'No' and enter the name

of the license server. If you are not using a central license server, select

'Yes' instead.

Using a License Server

If you will be using a central license server with IxNetwork, make sure to set

the name of the server in IxNetwork's Settings->Preferences menu choice.

To allow use of a central license server by the Tcl API, a new system environment

variable

your Tcl program on a UNIX client, the environment variable must be set on the

host running the Tcl Server. Environment variables are set on a UNIX host through

the user's shell initialization script. Environment variables are set on a Windows

host by using the following instructions:

1. Right-click on the My Computer icon on the desktop and then left-click on

Properties.

2. Choose the Advanced tab from the System Properties dialog box.

3. Press the Environment Variable button at the bottom of the page.

4. In either the

if IXN_LICENSE_SERVER does not exist in the list, press New, otherwise press

Edit.

5. The name of the variable should be IXN_LICENSE_SERVER and the value should be

the name or IP address of the license server machine.

Updating Licenses

Ixia has made changes to its licensing technology to minimize license update

requirements. In the past license updates were required with every software

upgrade. Moving forward license updates will be required at most once every year

when software maintenance is renewed.

In order to move to this new licensing paradigm, current users of IxNetwork will

need to update their existing licenses once. For some customers (if you bought

or renewed maintenance for IxNetwork in the first couple of months of 2007) this

process will not be necessary.

The process to update a license is as follows:

1. Run the Ixia Registration Utility (IRU) from the start menu (Start->Ixia->

Licensing->IRU).

2. You may run the IRU from the chassis or from any Windows host connected to

the chassis.

3. Select the Update option and follow the instructions on the screen to

complete this process.

Using a Temporary License

It is possible to use IxNetwork for a period of time prior to installation of a

permanent license through the use of a temporary license. When you first connect

IxNetwork to a chassis, if there is no license found for the chassis, you will

be offered the opportunity to install a temporary license. A permanent license

should be installed before the expiration of the temporary license. You will

receive warnings from IxNetwork prior to the expiration of the temporary license.

Installing Licensing Software

The Ixia licensing package is installed as part of the IxNetwork server component

installation. In some cases you will receive the following message:

to make a change to your system. If you are connected to the Internet, all of
