IxNetError

✓ from IxNetwork import IxNetError

Basic connection to an IxNetwork server. Requires ip/hostname, credentials. The `connect` call is synchronous and returns session IDs.

from ixnetwork import IxNetwork ixNet = IxNetwork() ixNet.connect('10.0.0.1', username='admin', password='admin', apiKey=os.environ.get('IXN_API_KEY', '')) print(ixNet.getSessionIds())

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 9.30+ removed support for Python 2.7 and older TLS protocols. Ensure your environment uses Python 3.6+ and the server TLS 1.2+.

fix

Upgrade to Python 3.6+ and ensure server TLS 1.2 is enabled.

affects: >=9.30

breakingThe `connect` method changed default `apiKey` parameter from optional to required in some versions. If not using API key, pass empty string.

fix

Always pass `apiKey` parameter (e.g., `apiKey=''` if not used).

affects: >=9.30

gotchaSession management is manual: you must call `ixNet.disconnect()` to release server resources. Not doing so leads to stale sessions and resource leaks.

fix

Use `ixNet.disconnect()` in a finally block or context manager pattern.

affects: all
