Proxy settings in Trex

bbarot — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 09:33:37 GMT

Currently If I run Trex normally then I am able to see that traffic passes successfully end to end. But when I run http proxy server on different host. And send traffic from Trex then it goes to proxy and comes back to server port of the Trex. But Trex simply drops the packets and not responding. Is there any way to make this working in ASTF mode?

Not sure 100% on this, Trex could be expecting specific functionalities from the server that the proxy disrupts. I would check the Trex logs or captured packets to see if there are any error messages indicating missing features. As you have been seeing in ASTF mode, Trex expects a specific flow of packets and maybe with a proxy, the flow might be altered, causing Trex to drop unexpected packets.

Kinda guessing at this stage here tho.
