Test DHCP Relay

Description

This example demonstrates how to configure a DHCP relay instance in DUT0 to forward DHCP requests from DUT2 to DUT1.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 100 address 10.0.0.2/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 200 address 20.0.0.2/24
set service dhcp-relay INS downstream-interface eth1.200
set service dhcp-relay INS server 10.0.0.1
set service dhcp-relay INS upstream-interface eth0.100
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 100 address 10.0.0.1/24
set protocols static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 10.0.0.2
set service dhcp-server shared-network dummy subnet 10.0.0.1/32
set service dhcp-server shared-network remote subnet 20.0.0.0/24 start 20.0.0.50 stop 20.0.0.50
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 3: Set the following configuration in DUT2 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 200 address dhcp
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 4: Ping IP address 10.0.0.1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 10.0.0.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.228 ms

--- 10.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.228/0.228/0.228/0.000 ms

Step 5: Run command interfaces ethernet show at DUT2 and check if output contains the following tokens:

20.0.0.50
Show output
---------------------------------------------------------------------
  Name             IP Address           Admin  Oper  Vrf  Description

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

Step 4: Ping IP address 10.0.0.1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 10.0.0.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
