2.48. test_l2_fib module

L2 FIB Test Case HLD:

config 1

  • add 4 pg-l2 interfaces

  • configure them into l2bd

  • configure 100 MAC entries in L2 fib - 25 MACs per interface

  • L2 MAC learning and unknown unicast flooding disabled in l2bd

  • configure 100 MAC entries in L2 fib - 25 MACs per interface

test 1

  • send L2 MAC frames between all 4 pg-l2 interfaces for all of 100 MAC entries in the FIB

verify 1

  • all packets received correctly

config 2

  • delete 12 MAC entries - 3 MACs per interface

test 2a

  • send L2 MAC frames between all 4 pg-l2 interfaces for non-deleted MAC entries

verify 2a

  • all packets received correctly

test 2b

  • send L2 MAC frames between all 4 pg-l2 interfaces for all of 12 deleted MAC entries

verify 2b

  • no packet received on all 4 pg-l2 interfaces

config 3

  • configure new 100 MAC entries in L2 fib - 25 MACs per interface

test 3

  • send L2 MAC frames between all 4 pg-l2 interfaces for all of 188 MAC entries in the FIB

verify 3

  • all packets received correctly

config 4

  • delete 160 MAC entries, 40 MACs per interface

test 4a

  • send L2 MAC frames between all 4 pg-l2 interfaces for all of 28 non-deleted MAC entries

verify 4a

  • all packets received correctly

test 4b

  • try send L2 MAC frames between all 4 pg-l2 interfaces for all of 172 deleted MAC entries

verify 4b

  • no packet received on all 4 pg-l2 interfaces

L2 FIB Test Case

classmethod bd_ifs(bd_id)
config_l2_fib_entries(bd_id, hosts)

Config required number of L2 FIB entries.

Parameters

  • bd_id (int) – BD’s id

  • count (int) – Number of L2 FIB entries to be created.

  • start (int) – Starting index of the host list. (Default value = 0)

create_hosts(n_hosts_per_if, subnet)

Create required number of host MAC addresses and distribute them among interfaces. Create host IPv4 address for every host MAC address.

Parameters

n_hosts_per_if (int) – Number of per interface hosts to

create MAC/IPv4 addresses for.

create_stream(src_if, packet_sizes, if_src_hosts, if_dst_hosts)

Create input packet stream for defined interface using hosts or deleted_hosts list.

Parameters

  • src_if (object) – Interface to create packet stream for.

  • packet_sizes (list) – List of required packet sizes.

  • deleted (boolean) – Set to True if deleted_hosts list required.

Returns

Stream of packets.

delete_l2_fib_entry(bd_id, hosts)

Delete required number of L2 FIB entries.

Parameters

count (int) – Number of L2 FIB entries to be created.

flush_all()

Flush All L2 FIB entries.

flush_bd(bd_id, learned_hosts)

Flush bd_id L2 FIB entries.

Parameters

bd_id (int) – Bridge Domain id.

flush_int(swif, learned_hosts)

Flush swif L2 FIB entries.

Parameters

swif (int) – sw if index.

learn_hosts(bd_id, hosts)

Create and send per interface L2 MAC broadcast packet stream to let the bridge domain learn these MAC addresses.

Parameters

  • bd_id (int) – BD to teach

  • hosts (dict) – dict of hosts per interface

run_verify_negat_test(bd_id, src_hosts, dst_hosts)
run_verify_test(bd_id, src_hosts, dst_hosts)
setUp()

Allow subclass specific teardown logging additions.

split_hosts(hosts, n)
tearDown()

Show various debug prints after each test.

classmethod tearDownClass()

Perform final cleanup after running all tests in this test-case
