TRex Stateless Mode
===================
TRex can also be run in a stateless mode. For a detailed description of TRex stateless support
please refer to `TRex Stateless Support <https://trex-tgn.cisco.com/trex/doc/trex_stateless.html>`_.
In this section we show some simple examples using TRex stateless mode. These examples use
the configuration as shown in the section :ref:`trex`. These examples we will be using VMWare VMs.
To use TRex stateless mode we use 2 terminals on the TRex traffic generator node. One terminal will
be used for the TRex console and one to monitor the traffic.
In one of terminals start TRex in stateless mode. Use *Ctrl-C* to stop.
.. code-block:: console

# ./trex -i

In the other terminal start the TRex console. With this console we will execute the TRex commands.

The **-f ./stl/imix.py** argument specifies the file that is used to create the
traffic profile. The argument **-p 0 1 2 3** specifies the ports to be used.
The argument **-m 9475mbps** the number of packets/sec to be used.
All the arguments can be displayed with the **-h** argument.
In the other terminal the display shows the statistics related the traffic flows.
