IxANVL Workstation Requirements

CPU: 32 bit 1.5Ghz Pentium or better
RAM: 1GB or more
Disk: 500MB Free or more
OS:
Windows OS: Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Windows 2003 Server. (IxANVL supports US English versions of the Windows operating system. Although IxANVL may run on other versions of Windows OS, these other versions are not officially supported by Ixia. If you attempt to install or run IxANVL on any version of Windows OS other than the U.S. English version, IxANVL installation or operation may fail.)
Linux OS: Redhat Enterprise 4.0 with kernel 2.6.9-11 or 2.6.22.0.2.EL, Centos 5.3 with kenel 2.6.18-128.e15xen, Redhat Enterprise 5.0 with 2.6.18-53.el5
Important Note: Java has a known caveat that requires an extra rpm file (xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.2-31.i386.rpm) that sometimes is not installed by default on an RHE 5.0 machine. As the IxANVL installer is a Java-based application, it is required that this file be installed in order to function normally. Please refer to the "Linux Installation Notes" below for a workaround to fix this problem.
Ixia Chassis OS: IxOS 5.30 GA and IxOS 5.50 EA SP2(required for VNIC operation).
