Broadcast

This scenario covers 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 Broadcast

Description

A bonding interface is configured in DUT0 using the broadcast 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 broadcast
set interfaces ethernet eth0p0 bond-group bond0
set interfaces ethernet eth0p1 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 eth2 bridge-group bridge br0
set interfaces ethernet eth3 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
--------------------------------------------------------------

       fe80::a0:26ff:fe16:15/64

Step 4: Run command interfaces bonding bond0 show ports at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:

Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (broadcast)
Show output
Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v6.1.55

Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (broadcast)
MII Status: up
MII Polling Interval (ms): 100

Peer Notification Delay (ms): 0

Slave Interface: eth0p1
MII Status: up
Speed: 1000 Mbps
Duplex: full
Link Failure Count: 0
Permanent HW addr: 02:a0:26:16:00:15
Slave queue ID: 0

Slave Interface: eth0p0
MII Status: up
Speed: 1000 Mbps
Duplex: full
Link Failure Count: 0
Permanent HW addr: 00:a0:26:16:00:15
Slave queue ID: 0

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.
64 bytes from 192.168.100.20: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.375 ms

--- 192.168.100.20 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.375/0.375/0.375/0.000 ms

Step 6: Run command interfaces ethernet clear at DUT0.

Step 7: Ping IP address 192.168.100.20 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 192.168.100.20 count 5 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 192.168.100.20 (192.168.100.20) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.100.20: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.388 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.100.20: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.382 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.100.20: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.388 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 192.168.100.20: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.374 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.100.20: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.377 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 192.168.100.20: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.365 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.100.20: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.369 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 192.168.100.20: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.357 ms

--- 192.168.100.20 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 received, +3 duplicates, 0% packet loss, time 4074ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.357/0.375/0.388/0.010 ms

Step 8: Run command interfaces ethernet show counters at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

eth0p0 \s+up\s+\d+\s+\d+\s+0\s+(?![0-4])\d+
eth0p1 \s+up\s+\d+\s+\d+\s+0\s+(?![0-4])\d+
Show output
