Running IxChariot in Command Line



This video shows how to run IxChariot over CLI. We have two commands that we could use runtst.exe and fmttst.exe.
runtst.exe executes any .tst files (i.e saved configurations from the console) we have several options but we'll just use -v (verbose mode). So the syntax will be:

runtst -v        ### this outputs the run results in your cmd prompt
runtst -v   ### this saves the result to a new test file, when you open the in the console, it shows the results with it.
runtst -v > file.txt  ### this writes the output to a text file

fmttst -v    ### writes the test file to a csv format.

All of the commands above can be written in a batch file and you can use the windows scheduler to run all your tests.

  1. How can I run an IxChariot test and exclude the first "N" seconds of the traffic run?

    We have an option of Omit in iPerf, do we have such a similar option in IxChariot?
