BreakingPoint detail

Network testing with BreakingPoint®. By simulating real-world legitimate traffic, distributed denial of service (DDoS), exploits, malware, and fuzzing, BreakingPoint validates an organization’s security infrastructure, reduces the risk of network degradation by almost 80%, and increases attack readiness by nearly 70%. And with our new TrafficREWIND solution, you'll get even more realistic and high-fidelity validation by adding production network insight into BreakingPoint test traffic configuration More details:

Install the package

pip install --upgrade bps-restpy

Start scripting

"""This script demonstrates how to get started with bps_restpy scripting.

# Title:  Python Script Sample To Run a Canned Test.
# Actions:
#   1. Login to BPS box
#   2. Reserve ports
#   3. Load a test from the box and start the run
#   4. Wait for the test to finish
#   5. Get test result
#   6. Get and print the Synopsis page from report
#   7. Unreserve ports
#   8. Logout

Documentation

Documentation is available using the following methods:

  • Online web based documentation and samples
  • On your BreakingPoint System RestApi found near the BreakingPoint App
  • Documentation available in the online doc browser is also inlined in each class, property and method and can be viewed using the python help command
    from bps_restpy.bps import BPS, pp
    
    #login to your Breaking Point System
    help(BPS)
    bps = BPS('your_bps_IP_or_FQDN', 'admin', 'admin')
    
    help(bps.testmodel.importModel)

Additional Samples

Visit the OpenIxia breakingpoint-restpy sample site maintained by solution architects for in depth end-to-end samples that demonstrate the following:

  • building a configuration
    • from scratch
    • from an existing BreakingPoint configuration
  • running the configuration
    • connecting ports to hardware
    • starting protocols
    • starting traffic
  • getting statistics
    • port stats
    • traffic stats
