NV Object
Description
The object used for starting a Network Virtualization simulation.
Note: To start or end an NV transaction, use the StartTransaction and EndTransaction methods supported for the Services Object.
Methods and Properties
 ModifyEmulationDetails | Updates emulation settings in real time according to the specified parameters. |
| ModifyEmulationProfile | Updates emulation settings in realtime according to NV profile options. |
| StartEmulation | Starts a network emulation. |
| StartEmulationExcludeIPs | Starts a network emulation and specifies an an array of IP addresses to exclude. |
| StartOrModifyEmulationFromProfile | Updates emulation settings in real time according to the Network Virtualization profile options. |
| StopEmulation | Stops a network emulation. |
ModifyEmulationDetails Method
Description
Updates emulation settings in real time according to the specified parameters.
Syntax
NV.ModifyEmulationDetails(latency, packetLoss, bandWidthIn, bandWidthOut)
Arguments
Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
latency | Integer | The amount of time between making a request and the completion of the response. |
| packetLoss | Double | The amount of data (number of packets) that fails to arrive at its intended destination |
| bandWidthIn | Double | The input data transfer capacity of a network. |
| bandWidthOut | Double | The output data transfer capacity of a network. |
Returns
A token containing the details for the current emulation.
ModifyEmulationProfile Method
Description
Updates emulation settings in realtime according to NV profile options.
Syntax
NV.ModifyEmulationProfile(profileName)
Arguments
Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
profileName | String | Name of the Network Virtualization profile from which options are used to update test settings |
Returns
A token containing the details for the current emulation.
StartEmulation Method
Description
Starts a network emulation.
Syntax
NV.StartEmulation(profileName)
Arguments
Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
profileName | String | The simulation profile to use for the current session. This profile name is saved in the Profiles section of the Network Virtualization Test Manager. |
Returns
A token representing the name of the current emulation session.
Exampledim Emulation1
Emulation1=NV.StartEmulation("CloudServer")NV.StopEmulation(Emulation1)
StartOrModifyEmulation Method
Description
Updates emulation settings in real time according to the Network Virtualization profile options.
Syntax
NV.StartOrModifyEmulation(profileName)
Arguments
Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
profileName | String | Name of the Network Virtualization profile from which options are used to update test settings |
Returns
A token containing the details for the current emulation.
IMPORTANT
If a test is not running this method launches it.
StartEmulationExcludeIPs Method
Description
Starts a network emulation and specifies an an array of IP addresses to exclude.
Syntax
NV.StartEmulationExcludeIPs(profileName, excludeIps)
Arguments
Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
profileName | String | The simulation profile to use for the current session. This profile name is saved in the Profiles section of the Network Virtualization Test Manager. |
| excludeIps | Array | The list of IP addresses to include. |
Returns
A token representing the name of the current emulation session.
ExampleDim Emulation1
Dim ExcludedIPs(0)
ExcludedIPs(0) = "1.1.1.1"
Emulation1 = NV.StartEmulationExcludeIPs("CloudServer", ExcludedIPs)
NV.StopEmulation(Emulation1)StopEmulation Method
Description
Stops a network emulation.
Syntax
NV.StopEmulation(testToken)
Arguments
Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
testToken | String | The emulation ID on the Network Virtualization server |
Returns
None
ExampleDim Emulation1
Dim ExcludedIPs(0)
ExcludedIPs(0) = "1.1.1.1"
Emulation1 = NV.StartEmulationExcludeIPs("CloudServer", ExcludedIPs)
NV.StopEmulation(Emulation1)
