Test Static Address

Description

DUT0 address is statically configured.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT1:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '2001:db8:100:f101::1/64'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 ipv6 router-advert interval 2
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '2001:db8:100:f101::2/64'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 ipv6 disable-forwarding
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 3: Run command interfaces ethernet eth0 show at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

2001:db8:100:f101:[^\s\/]+/64
Show output
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Name           IP Address           Admin  Oper  Vrf  Description

Step 4: Ping IP address 2001:db8:100:f101::1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 2001:db8:100:f101::1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 2001:db8:100:f101::1(2001:db8:100:f101::1) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2001:db8:100:f101::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=457 ms

set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Note

Addresses obtained through DHCPv6 have a 128 bits prefix length (according to RFC#8415).

Step 3: Run command interfaces ethernet eth0 show at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

2001:db8:100:f101:[^\s\/]+/128

Step 4: Ping IP address 2001:db8:100:f101::1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 2001:db8:100:f101::1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 2001:db8:100:f101::1(2001:db8:100:f101::1) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2001:db8:100:f101::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.350 ms

--- 2001:db8:100:f101::1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.350/0.350/0.350/0.000 ms
