Test ICMP Connectivity

Description

In DUT0, four cellular interfaces are defined, each associated with a different cellular profile and PDP (Packet Data Protocol) context. Once configured, the ‘Ping’ command is used to check the connectivity of all four data interfaces with Google’s public DNS server.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set cellular profile CELPROFILE1 apn movistar.es
set cellular profile CELPROFILE2 apn telefonica.es
set cellular profile CELPROFILE3 apn internet
set cellular profile CELPROFILE4 apn internet2

set controllers cellular wwan0 pdp 1 profile CELPROFILE1
set controllers cellular wwan0 pdp 2 profile CELPROFILE2
set controllers cellular wwan0 pdp 3 profile CELPROFILE3
set controllers cellular wwan0 pdp 4 profile CELPROFILE4
set interfaces cellular cell0 address dhcp
set interfaces cellular cell0 phy wwan0 pdp 1
set interfaces cellular cell1 address dhcp
set interfaces cellular cell1 phy wwan0 pdp 2
set interfaces cellular cell2 address dhcp
set interfaces cellular cell2 phy wwan0 pdp 3
set interfaces cellular cell3 address dhcp
set interfaces cellular cell3 phy wwan0 pdp 4

Note

Additionally, with the previous operational commands, the IP addresses that have been provided by the operator to be used by each cellular interface are displayed. So, with the following commands, it can be checked if all four cellular interfaces have been correctly configured by the DHCP client.
