Test suite to check IPsec with xfrm interface
Test IPsec With Multipath XFRM Interfaces
Description
DUT0 and DUT1 are connected to each other through multiple IPsec tunnels with the same local and remote prefixes.
In this test case, we will check IPsec tunnels are correctly installing through two peers directly connected to the DUT0 and DUT1 devices.
Scenario
Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

Note
Check that the IPsec tunnels are established and the routes are installed. The routes should be installed in the VRF LAN_101.
Step 4: Run command protocols vrf LAN_101 ip show route at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:
K>\* 10\.2\.0\.0/24 \[0\/0\] is directly connected.*xfrm\d+.*\n.*xfrm\d+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 LAN_101: K>* 0.0.0.0/0 [255/8192] unreachable (ICMP unreachable), weight 1, 00:00:06 C>* 10.1.0.0/24 is directly connected, eth1, weight 1, 00:00:06 L>* 10.1.0.1/32 is directly connected, eth1, weight 1, 00:00:06 K>* 10.2.0.0/24 [0/0] is directly connected, xfrm302, weight 1, 00:00:01 * is directly connected, xfrm301, weight 1, 00:00:01
Note
Check that both IPsec tunnels are established and traffic steering is working as expected. Once the remote client is trying to connect randomly from either of the two tunnels, hub always responds with the same tunnel.

Note
Testing the traffic from the hub to the spoke. The difference is that the IPsec tunnel chosen by the hub not always the same as the one chosen by the spoke. So if the spoke responds to the hub through the another tunnel, the hub needs to change the tunnel to the one used by the spoke.

Note
Check that the IPsec tunnels are established and the routes are installed. The routes should be installed in the VRF LAN_101.
Step 4: Run command protocols vrf LAN_101 ip show route at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

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 LAN_101: K>* 0.0.0.0/0 [255/8192] unreachable (ICMP unreachable), weight 1, 00:00:06 C>* 10.1.0.0/24 is directly connected, eth1, weight 1, 00:00:06 L>* 10.1.0.1/32 is directly connected, eth1, weight 1, 00:00:06 K>* 10.2.0.0/24 [0/0] is directly connected, xfrm302, weight 1, 00:00:01 * is directly connected, xfrm301, weight 1, 00:00:01
Note
Check that both IPsec tunnels are established and traffic steering is working as expected. Once the remote client is trying to connect randomly from either of the two tunnels, hub always responds with the same tunnel.

Note
Testing the traffic from the hub to the spoke. The difference is that the IPsec tunnel chosen by the hub not always the same as the one chosen by the spoke. So if the spoke responds to the hub through the another tunnel, the hub needs to change the tunnel to the one used by the spoke.
