TRex appliance

Could we create an appliance for this?

They don't offer a VM, maintaining one would be too much effort. On the other hand, they have it as a container (trexcisco/trex). I'll check if it can be added.

@adosztal have you got a change to check? thanks :)

I loaded it on my host, started the way Cisco said but can't connect to it. I'll try to find the issue.

TRex exists as a kvm vm in CML 2.4.0. I will see if I can put something together next week.

Never mind, apparently I was seeing things, TRex is not included in CML as a KVM image.

I was however able to get the docker image running via the instructions. What is needed to convert this to be able to be used in GNS3?

https://hub.docker.com/r/trexcisco/trex was last updated 4 years ago, is Cisco still maintaining it?

It does not look like the Docker is being updated. There is work being done on TRex in general based off these repos: Cisco Systems Traffic Generator

Will need to do some investigating to see if this is something that can be (relatively) easily integrated/converted into an appliance.

I am going to play around with building this as a KVM image.

Image for TREX exists as part of CML 2.6. I will start on testing and creating a .gns3a for it.

Of note, it does not include the TREX GUI.

Great, thanks a lot!
