Overview

One of the prominent functionalities offered by XenaManager is its TG capability, which supports Ethernet speeds of up to 800 Gbps. This makes it well-suited for conducting both functional and performance testing. This section also provides an overview of the tab panels available within XenaManager.

General Purpose Tab Panels

Start

This tab panel is the default visible panel when you start the XenaManager for the first time. It contains a short Getting Started guide for the application. You can close this panel once you don’t feel you need it anymore.

Available Resources

Available Resources Panel displays the resources (modules, ports and streams) for all configured chassis in your current testbed configuration.

Communication Trace

Communication Trace displays the raw detailed realtime communication with the chassis. It is mainly used for debugging the communication in case of problems but it can also be used as a help for users who wants to write automation scripts.

Selected Resource Panels

Resource Properties

Resource Properties will enable you to view and modify properties for the resource currently selected in the Available Resources tree view (chassis, module, port or stream).

Port Statistics

Port Statistics will display statistics counters for the port currently selected in the Available Resources tree view, including statistics for all streams on that port.

Filters

Filters will enable you to configure filters for the port currently selected in the Available Resources tree view.

Capture

Capture will enable you to configure capture settings for the port currently selected in the Available Resources tree view.

Histograms

Histograms will enable you to configure histograms for the port currently selected in the Available Resources tree view.

Testbed Centric Panels

Port Configuration Grid

Port Configuration Grid will enable you to view and modify properties for all ports in your testbed.

Stream Configuration Grid

Stream Configuration Grid will enable you to view and modify properties for the streams configured on all ports in your testbed.

Global Statistics

Stream Configuration Grid will display statistics counters for all ports in your testbed and also for all streams on those ports.

Statistics Charting

Statistics Charting will enable you to plot various statistics counters for selected streams.

Logging and Reporting

Logging and Reporting enables you to enable periodic logging of counters from your testbed ports. It also let you configure reports in PDF and HTML format of the counters.

Event Log

Event Log enables you to monitor logged events for the test ports.
