To make a container with trex, run ./run-trex The corresponding docker container will be called trex.

To setup a virtual ethernet container for communication

In a different console outside of the Docker container, run sudo ./run-veth-container.sh

From outside trex container you can do:

sudo ip netns exec sleeper wireshark

From inside the container:

./t-rex-64 -f cap2/dns.yaml -c 1 -m 1 -d 10

To get Trex to ping

From within the container:

./t-rex-64 -i

From a second window (via docker exec -it trex bash):

./trex-console service ping -p 0 -d 1.1.1.2

To setup a VLAN tagged container for communication

Outside of the docker container, instead of running sudo ./run-veth-container.sh, run sudo ./run-vlan-container.sh

Within the container, instead of running ./t-rex-64 -i you will need to run:

./t-rex-64 -i --cfg cfg/vlan_cfg.yaml

All other steps should remain the same. Note that within the trex-console within the container, after you've setup service mode, you can send a ping tagged with vlan by doing this:

ping -p 0 -d 1.1.1.2 --vlan 24

However, the sleeper container would need to be configured to generate a reply for VLAN tagged packets. At the moment, it isn't...
