Link-Security™ Software Demo 4

Use this information to run reverse-proxying and encryption/decryption on the host for comparison to demo scenario 3.

Before you begin

Make sure that you have:

Installed a Napatech DPU in a server. See Installing a Napatech DPU.
Programmed the DPU with an appropriate FPGA image. See Napatech Link-Security™ Software FPGA Images.
Compiled and installed Link-Security™ Software on the SoC. See Installing Napatech Link-Security™ Software on the DPU.
Configured the SoC. See Configuring the SoC.
Configured the test server. See Configuring the Test Server.

About this task

Demo setup showing that traffic is encrypted, and encryption/decryption and reverse-proxying are performed on the host.

In this demo, traffic is encrypted, and encryption/decryption and reverse-proxying are performed on the host.

Note: The following prompt is used to indicate which part of the system to run the provided commands on.

test#: The server where the test script is executed.

Procedure

Run the test script.

For example:

cd /opt/ipu_workload_tls/src
python3 -m standalone.main --proxy host –-tls --deploy-run -c 2000

where:

--proxy soc: Run reverse-proxying on the host.
–-tls: TLS is enabled.
--deploy-run: Deploy network/services and run workload.
-c 2000: 2000 connections that the wrk tool uses.
