Testing DHCP module

[ejhernandez@…]

Testing refurbished DHCP module using  ANSTE framework. (Great!)

The tests are:

1. Create a viface to serve IP addresses
2. Add a range to that viface
3. Check a client is served with an IP within the range
4. Remove that range
5. Add a fixed address mapping with a hardware address which matches with the dhcp client.
6. Check the given IP address matches with the given on the mapping
7. Check default options are correctly obtained by the client. Files to check:
   1. /etc/resolv.conf -> search domain and primary and secondary nameservers
   2. /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcp.leases -> default leased time
8. Change given default options and default leased time with custom values (DNS and custom)
9. Repeat the second step above
10. Configure client on /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to ask for a fixed leased time (upper than default and lower than maximum)
11. Check the given lease is the one configured in the step above
12. Configure client to ask for a fixed lease time upper than maximum leased time
13. Check the given lease is the default one ignoring maximum (3 tries are done by the client)

• Xen is currently not capable to manage virtual networks easily. However the tests are written for next release of xen and seems to work partially (server configuration using Selenium)
• We use vmware which is easier and it works perfectly
