These scenarios check the functionality of different DHCP server options.

Test One Lease Per Client

Description

This scenario checks the one-lease-per-client option. In this scenario, you need two active leases at the same time. First, check those leases are active and then activate this option and check that no two leases belonging to the same client (same MAC address) are active at the same time.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 100 address 10.0.0.1/24
set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 200 address 10.0.0.2/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 10.215.168.64/24
set service dhcp-server shared-network dhcp subnet 10.0.0.0/24 options lease 4
set service dhcp-server shared-network dhcp subnet 10.0.0.0/24 options max-lease 4
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 login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 100 mac '10:00:00:00:00:01'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 200 mac '10:00:00:00:00:01'
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 3: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 100 address dhcp
set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 200 address dhcp

Warning

If you do not see changes after enabling the options, refresh all your interfaces

Step 4: Run command service dhcp-server show leases main | grep 10.0.0.5 at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:

Test One Lease Per Client VRF

Description

This scenario checks the one-lease-per-client option for DHCP-server, but it is configured with VRF instead of regular interfaces. It first checks whether there are 2 simultaneous leases for the same client. When the option is enabled, it checks there are no two active leases for the same client at the same time.

Step 3: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 100 address dhcp
set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 200 address dhcp

Warning

If you do not see changes after enabling the options, refresh all your interfaces

Test Authoritative

Description

This scenario checks the authoritative option. First, you need to configure a DHCP server without enabling the option and give a lease to the client. Then, change the configuration of the server for another subnet. The client will refresh his lease and see a problem: the new server is not in the same subnet and is not authorized to give a lease. Finally, if you enable the option and refresh the interface, you will see the server is authorized and can provide the lease to the client.

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 authoritative subnet 10.0.0.0/24 start 10.0.0.5 stop 10.0.0.5

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 mac '10:00:00:00:00:01'
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 3: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address dhcp

Warning

If you do not see changes after enabling the options, refresh all your interfaces

Step 4: Run command interfaces ethernet eth0 show at DUT1 and check if output contains the following tokens:

Step 5: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT0 :

Step 6: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 11.0.0.1/24
set service dhcp-server shared-network authoritative subnet 11.0.0.0/24 start 11.0.0.5 stop 11.0.0.5

Step 7: Run command interfaces ethernet eth0 show at DUT1 and check if output contains the following tokens:

Test Authoritative VRF

Description

This scenario checks the authoritative option when the server is configured with VRF instead of regular interfaces. First, configure the server and give a lease to the client. Then, change the configuration of the server and put it on a different subnet. Refresh the interfaces and you will see the server cannot do it. Change the configuration again and add the authoritative option. With this change, the server will be able to give a lease to the client.
