Test DHCP default route distance

Description

DUT0 is connected to the WAN side through the cellular cell0 interface. Additionally, distance of default route obtained via DHCP client is configured.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set cellular profile CELPROFILE apn movistar.es
set controllers cellular wwan0 sim select socket_1
set controllers cellular wwan0 sim socket socket_1 encrypted-pin U2FsdGVkX18WpT3knOp9sDOVG/72pDQC9G/GpeGafO4=
set controllers cellular wwan0 sim socket socket_1 pdp 1 profile CELPROFILE
set interfaces cellular cell0 address dhcp
set interfaces cellular cell0 dhcp client receive default-router distance 200
set interfaces cellular cell0 phy wwan0 pdp 1
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Run command controllers cellular wwan0 pdp 1 show network-data-connection at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

Connection status\s* = connected
Show output
Connection status               = connected
Traffic channel status          = active
Max. TX channel rate (bps)      = 0
Max. RX channel rate (bps)      = 0
IPv4 address                    = 2.143.38.33
IPv4 mask                       = 255.255.255.252
IPv4 gateway                    = 2.143.38.34
IPv4 primary DNS                = 80.58.61.248
IPv4 secondary DNS              = 80.58.61.249

Step 3: Run command protocols ip show route at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

S>.*0\.0\.0\.0\/0 \[200\/0\] via .* cell0,.*
Show output
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, L - local, S - static,
       R - RIP, O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP,
       T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, F - PBR,
       f - OpenFabric, t - Table-Direct,
       > - selected route, * - FIB route, q - queued, r - rejected, b - backup
       t - trapped, o - offload failure

IPv4 unicast VRF default:
S>* 0.0.0.0/0 [200/0] via 2.143.38.34, cell0, weight 1, 00:00:05
C>* 2.143.38.32/30 is directly connected, cell0, weight 1, 00:00:05
K * 2.143.38.32/30 [0/0] is directly connected, cell0, weight 1, 00:00:05
L>* 2.143.38.33/32 is directly connected, cell0, weight 1, 00:00:05

Step 4: Ping IP address 8.8.8.8 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 8.8.8.8 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=116 time=170 ms
