Application Compatibility

NOTE: When you are using one or more of the applications below on a single chassis configuration, please use the correct application versions so they align to a common version of IxOS.

IxANVL Workstation Requirements

CPU: 64-bit Processors
RAM: 2GB or more 
Disk: 4GB free or more 

Windows OS: 

Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit

Windows Server 2016 64-bit

NOTE: IxANVL supports the US English versions of the Windows OS. Although, IxANVL may run on other versions of  Windows OS, they 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 versions, the IxANVL installation or operation may fail.

Linux OS: 

CentOS 7.5 (CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804, Kernel 3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP)

CentOS 7.9 (CentOS Linux rekease 7.9.2009, Kernel 3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP)

DEPRECATED OS:

CentOS-6.5  (64 bit) with kernel 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64

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 9.30
