8.2.7. IPv6 Routed-Forwarding

8.2.7.1. eth2p-ethip6-ip6base-func

IPv6 routing test cases RFC2460 IPv6, RFC4443 ICMPv6, RFC4861 Neighbor Discovery. Encapsulations: Eth-IPv6-ICMPv6 on links TG-DUT1, TG-DUT2, DUT1-DUT2; Eth-IPv6-NS/NA on links TG-DUT. IPv6 routing tests use circular 3-node topology TG - DUT1 - DUT2 - TG with one link between the nodes. DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with IPv6 routing and static routes. Test ICMPv6 Echo Request packets are sent in both directions by TG on links to DUT1 and DUT2 and received on TG links on the other side of circular topology. On receive TG verifies packets IPv6 src-addr, dst-addr and MAC addresses.

8.2.7.2. eth2p-ethip6-ip6base-ip6ecmp-func

Ipv6 Multipath routing test cases

  • [Top] Network topologies: TG=DUT 2-node topology with two links between nodes.
  • [Cfg] DUT configuration: On DUT configure interfaces IPv4 adresses, and multipath routing.
  • [Ver] TG verification: Test packets are sent from TG on the first link to DUT. Packet is received on TG on the second link from DUT1.

8.2.7.3. eth2p-ethip6-ip6base-ip6ra-func

IPv6 Router Advertisement test cases RFC4861 Neighbor Discovery. Encapsulations: Eth-IPv6-RA on links TG-DUT1. IPv6 Router Advertisement tests use 3-node topology TG - DUT1 - DUT2 - TG with one link between the nodes. DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with IPv6 routing and static routes. TG verifies received RA packets.
