Active-Backup

These scenarios cover some aspects related to link-aggregation (combining multiple network connections simultaneously to increase throughput, provide redundancy, or both). In OSDx, this can be achieved through bonding interfaces.

Test Active-Backup

Description

A bonding interface is configured in DUT0 using the active-backup mode. This mode can be used to achieve a higher degree of fault-tolerance.

Scenario

Example 1

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces bonding bond0 address 192.168.100.10/24
set interfaces bonding bond0 miimon 100
set interfaces bonding bond0 mode active-backup
set interfaces ethernet eth0p0 bond-group bond0
set interfaces ethernet eth1 bond-group bond0
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces bridge br0 address 192.168.100.20/24
set interfaces bridge br0 stp version rstp
set interfaces ethernet eth0 bridge-group bridge br0
set interfaces ethernet eth2 bridge-group bridge br0
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

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

bond0\s+192.168.100\.10\/24\s+up\s+up
Show output
---------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5: Ping IP address 192.168.100.20 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 192.168.100.20 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 192.168.100.20 (192.168.100.20) 56(84) bytes of data.

Warning

Now, it is important to disconnect one of the bonded interfaces.

Step 6: Run command interfaces ethernet clear at DUT0.
