Starting the Gigabit Ethernet Test Application
The simplest way to check if the IXB2850 board is functional and is capable of
forwarding traffic is to run the Gigabit Test Application as follows:
Starting the Example IXA SDK Pipeline Application
The IXB2850 board software includes a patch for the IXA SDK Framework and a patch
for one IXA SDK example application, that is, the IPv4 forwarder in the
applications/ipv4_forwarder/4oc12_pos_6gb_ethernet_2801
(see the Release Notes for details).
The documentation for the example application, is included in the
Software_Framework/IXA-SDK/BuildingBlocksAppsDesignGuide.pdf
(chapter 18) and
4oc12_pos_6gb_ethernet_2801/2801-POSEthIPv4Fwd-readme.pdf
valid. The application has been modified to support backplane fabric ports and it uses
IXB2850 firmware.
Only the Linux version of the core components are supported for IXB2850 boards.
