TeraVM Virtual Blade 2 Gen Shell

A shell integrates a device model, application or other technology with CloudShell. A shell consists of a data model that defines how the device and its properties are modeled in CloudShell, along with automation that enables interaction with the device via CloudShell.

Traffic Generator Shells

CloudShell's traffic generator shells enable you to conduct traffic test activities on Devices Under Test (DUT) or Systems Under Test (SUT) from a sandbox. In CloudShell, a traffic generator is typically modeled using a chassis resource, which represents the traffic generator device and ports, and a controller service that runs the chassis commands, such as Load Configuration File, Start Traffic and Get Statistics. Chassis and controllers are modeled by different shells, allowing you to accurately model your real-life architecture. For example, scenarios where the chassis and controller are located on different machines.

For additional information on traffic generator shell architecture, and setting up and using a traffic generator in CloudShell, see the Traffic Generators Overiew online help topic.

TeraVM Virtual 2G Shells

TeraVM virtual devices are modeled using several shells in CloudShell, providing you with connectivity and management capabilities such as device structure discovery and power management.

For more information see the official TeraVM product documentation.

To model a TeraVM virtual device in CloudShell, use the following shells:

▪ TeraVM Virtual Chassis Shell 2G, which provides connectivity and management capabilities, such as device structure discovery and power management for the TeraVM Virtual Chassis.

▪ TeraVM Controller Shell 2G (Service), which provides automation commands to run on the Virtual Chassis, such as Load Test Configuration, Start Traffic, Get Statistics.

▪ TeraVM Virtual Blade Shell 2G, which provides connectivity and management capabilities such as device structure discovery and power management for the CloudShell TeraVM Virtual Blade.

Standard version

The TeraVM Virtual 2G shells are based on the Traffic Generator Chassis Standard 1.0.0.

For detailed information about the shell’s structure and attributes, see the Traffic Shell standard in GitHub.
