Appendix D
Xgig Chassis Trigger/Stop from the Command Line
You can Trigger or Stop captures at the Xgig chassis from the command line of remote clients.The
domain being triggered/stopped needs to be created using TraceControl. However, without
TraceControl installed on the client work station, the user or a high-level application can stop or
trigger all ports in a domain with a simple command line interface.
The remote command line operations are supported through a free utility which is downloaded
from the Internet. The syntax for the command line described in this Appendix must be followed
for the utility to work with Xgig chassis.
Requirements
• Xgig Chassis (server) must have Xgig Server Appkit Version 3.2.x or greater
• An HTTP utility that will perform an HTTP POST operation.
For example,
Wget.exe
V1.10 or better can be installed on the client.
Wget.exe
supports a
“-post-data” parameter on the client work station where the command line interface will be
used.
Wget.exe
is free and can be downloaded at http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/
• The client work station that runs wget.exe must have access through the network to the Xgig
Chassis being controlled. The machine that runs
wget.exe
does not need to have the
TraceControl Application software installed.
• Domain(s) must be created prior using the command line using TraceControl application
software.
