Install Ethernet and PTP Scripts

You can use Ethernet and PTP scripts that are included in the Packet Flow Accelerator Diagnostics software to test Ethernet and PTP functionality. Before you can install the scripts, you need to perform the following tasks:

Make sure the QFX-PFA-4Q module is installed in the QFX5100 switch. See Installing an Expansion Module in a QFX5100 Device .
Install Junos OS Release 14.1X53-D27 software or later with enhanced automation for the QFX5100 switch. See Installing Software Packages on QFX Series Devices .
Enable SSH and Telnet services on the switch. See Configuring SSH Service for Remote Access to the Router or Switch and Configuring Telnet Service for Remote Access to a Switch .
Install the Packet Flow Accelerator Diagnostics Software. See ../topic-map/packet-flow-accelerator-diagnostics-software.html#id-installing-packet-flow-accelerator-diagnostics-software .

To install the scripts:

Log into the guest VM using the request app-engine virtual-machine-shell guest-VM-name. The maximum length for the guest VM name is 255 characters. Make sure you are logged in as root when you enter this command.
```
root>  request app-engine virtual-machine-shell diagnostics
```
Enter a valid username and password combination for the guest VM.
Enter the guest-util diag-install guest VM IP address command at the shell prompt.
Use the same IP address you used for configuring the local management address for the guest VM.
```
[root@localhost ~] guest-util diag-install 192.168.1.10
```
Change directories to /var/tmp to edit the PFAD_params.cfg file.
```
[root@localhost ~] cd /var/tmp
```

Open the PFAD_params.cfg file using an editor of your choice.

Here is an example of what is contained in the file:

content_copy zoom_out_map
[params]


# log level
LOGLEVEL = 'TRACE'


# my variables
VLAN1_NAME      = 'VLAN100'
VLAN1_ID        = '100'
JUNOS_USERNAME  = 'test'
ROOT_USERNAME   = 'root'
JUNOS_PSWD      = 'juniper123'
GUEST_PSWD      = 'diag'
ROOT_PSWD       = 'root123'



# my duts
DUTS = {
    'R0': "10.204.43.170",
    }



TOPOLOGY = 'IF1 = 'et-0/0/2’  
                                IF2 = ‘et-0/0/3’

PFAD_params.cfg: unmodified: line 1

Configure the management IP address.

content_copy zoom_out_map
                                DUTS = { 
                                                ‘R0': "10.204.43.170”,                                                                   }

Configure the PTP interfaces.
IF1 is the primary source, and IF2 is the secondary source.

Configure IF1 as et-0/0/2, and IF2 as et-0/0/3.
```
                                IF1 = '2’  <<<<< Change it
                                IF2 = ‘3’  <<<<< Change it
```
Save the changes you made to the PFAD_params.cfg file.
Run the scripts by issuing one of the following commands at the guest VM prompt.
- To test traffic orchestration:
  
  python PFAD_exec.py -t 1
- To test PTP:
  
  ./run_ptp_test
- To test Broadsync:
  
  ./run_broadsync_test
