sandbox ssh sessions not working

jleehawkins — Tue, 04 Jun 2019 09:44:33 GMT

I am unable to SSH into the devices in the TRex sandbox.

I am VPN'd into the sandbox. The web SSH option errors out.

Using putty to SSH into the device refuses connection.

There are only two devices in the sandbox and both of them do not work.

Could someone please give me a hand with the TRex sandbox?

Hello @jleehawkins,

https://trex-tgn.cisco.com/trex/doc/trex_manual.html#_download_and_installation

I could only find this, I hope it's useful

3.1.1. Identify the ports

Use the following command to identify ports.

[bash]>sudo ./dpdk_setup_ports.py -s

 Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver

 Network devices using kernel driver

 <none>

	If you have not run any DPDK applications, the command output shows a list of interfaces bound to the kernel or not bound at all.
	The interface marked active is the one used by your ssh connection. Never put this interface into TRex config file.

Hi,

Thanks for finding this. The problem isn't configuring the TRex box. The issue is getting access to the device to configure the application. SSH access is not working in the sandbox.
