1 Introduction
InfoVista offers Blixt™ Server software, enabling Blixt™ (available bandwidth
measurements) to be run against any Linux server with this software installed.
This document describes how to install and configure Blixt™ Server.

2 Prerequisites
2.1 Server Hardware Requirements
• 1 Gbit/s wired internet connection.
• Having firewalls between the internet and the server is not recommended as the firewall
may limit maximum throughput and cause inaccurate measurement results.
• Physical server environment, i.e. non-virtualized server.
• More than 4 GB RAM.
• Intel Core i7 processor or equivalent.

2.2 Operating System Requirements


• The server machine must have one of the following operating systems installed:
o Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7 or later
o Fedora Server 21
• Root or sudo access is required.

2.3 Required Firewall Settings


• UDP port 15001 must be open for inbound traffic. Open the port by running the following
commands in a terminal shell:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=15001/udp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=15001/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

2.4 License Requirements


Your organization must have an account in InfoVista’s GLS licensing system with a license
for Blixt™ Server available. This license option (“add-on”) belongs to the TEMS Investigation
product line in GLS.

3.1 Installation
• Install Blixt™ Server by running this command:

editor and enter a password on the following line:
BLIXT_SERVER_PASSWORD='<Enter secret key here>'

Note: Be sure to keep the single quotes around the password.

3.3 License Setup


• Register the server with InfoVista’s GLS licensing system by running the following
command, where the account id, e-mail address and password are those associated with
your organization’s GLS account:
sudo /bin/tems-license -r "Blixt Server,<account id>,<e-mail address>,<password>"

• Then activate the licensed features, using the activation code provided by InfoVista:
