DLPI MDI (Data Link Provider Interface) test

Synopsis:

auto_dlpmdi [ scenario_name | all ]

Configuration file:

nd-dlpmdi.cfg

Test suite name:

nd-dlpmdi

Summary:

Verifies the interface to the DLPI module. Doubles as an integration test for MDI drivers, because MDI drivers interface to the DLPI module during normal operation. This test is also useful for drivers written to use only the DLPI primitives to provide support for media types that are not supported by MDI.

Media types:

Varies according to features tested.

Init state:

1

Executing machine(s)

master and slave

Execution time:

About 20 minutes for the entire test suite.

Number of test cases:

17

Number of invokable scenarios:

17

Configuration variables:

MASTERSLAVE

Set to master for the machine where the driver being tested is installed and slave for the other machine.

DEVICE

Set to /dev/net0 on both the master and slave machines.

TEST_SCENARIO

Select any of the features listed below or specify all to run all tests. Default is all.

The following features are provided:

frametest

Send and receive all packet sizes one at a time. Padding and every byte within each packet is verified to see that it did not change. Addressing is point-to-point.

framemcst

Same as frametest except that multicast addresses are used.

framebst

Same as frametest except that broadcast addresses are used.

framembcst

Same as frametest except that multicast broadcast addresses are used.

loopback

Send packets to self. They should go out on the wire and be looped back; a network monitor is needed to verify.

loopmcst

Send packets to a multicast address to which the driver is listening; test loopback to multicast addresses.

loopbcst

Test loopback to broadcast addesses. All packet sizes are checked.

loopmbcst

Test loopback when sent to the token-ring multicast-broadcast address. Token-Ring only.

largepkt

Attempt to send > max_pdu packet

saptest

Send and receive frames from SAPs at ends of valid sap ranges .

bindmax

Test that exactly N opens and binds are supported.

bindbad

Test the endpoints of SAP ranges +/- 1 to verify the ranges are checked correctly. Dirty testing of various binds that should fail; bind before dlpi module linked. Try bad saps (bind to these SAPs fail).

bind

Test send before bind (should fail) and bind twice to the same sap.

unbind

Test the various combinations of bind and unbind and verify that unbind correctly deallocates saps.

macaddrtest

Test MACIOC_SETADDR, MACIOC_SETALLMCA, and MACIOC_DELALLMCA.

multicast

MAC address test. Test DL_SET_PHYS_ADDR_REQ primitives.

allmulticast

Test DL_ENABALLMULTI_REQ primitive.
