Test Check MAC Address

Description

The check-mac-address option filters packets if there are differences between the MAC address found at the ethernet header and the MAC address found in the DHCP packet. To check this option, you should send packets with these differences and enable this option and see if there are warnings in your logs. Also, this test check the server’s behaviour in regular conditions.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.0.0.1/24
set service dhcp-server shared-network dhcp subnet 10.0.0.0/24 start 10.0.0.5 stop 10.0.0.5

Step 2: Run command system journal show | tail at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:

DHCPDISCOVER from 10:00:00:00:00:02 via eth0
Show output

Step 7: Set the following configuration in DUT1:

set interfaces eth0 mac 10:00:00:00:00:05

Step 8: Set the following configuration in DUT1:

set interfaces eth0 address dhcp

Test Check MAC Address VRF

Description

This scenario configures a DHCP server with VRF instead of regular interfaces and checks the option check-mac-address. To check this option you will need to send packets with differences in Source MAC for link layer and the client MAC from the application layer.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces eth0 address 10.0.0.1/24
set interfaces eth0 vrf VRF0
set service dhcp-server shared-network dhcp local-vrf VRF0
set service dhcp-server shared-network dhcp subnet 10.0.0.0/24 start 10.0.0.5 stop 10.0.0.6
set system vrf VRF0

Step 2: Run command system journal show | tail at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:

DHCPDISCOVER from 10:00:00:00:00:02 via eth0
