GreOvsTunnelRecipe

class lnst.Recipes.ENRT.GreOvsTunnelRecipe.GreOvsTunnelRecipe(**kwargs)

Bases: PauseFramesHWConfigMixin, OffloadSubConfigMixin, BaseTunnelRecipe

This class implements a recipe that configures a simple GRE tunnel using OpenVSwitch between two hosts.

The actual test machinery is implemented in the BaseEnrtRecipe class.

The test wide configuration is implemented in the BaseTunnelRecipe class.

configure_underlying_network(config: EnrtConfiguration) tuple[RemoteDevice, RemoteDevice]

The underlying network for the tunnel consists of the Ethernet devices on the matched hosts.

create_tunnel(config: EnrtConfiguration, tunnel_endpoints: tuple[RemoteDevice, RemoteDevice]) tuple[RemoteDevice, RemoteDevice]

OvS bridges are created on each of the matched hosts with two ports. One port as an integration port and another port of type GRE acting as a tunnel interface connecting tunneled networks.

Integration ports are configured with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the tunneled networks.

generate_ping_endpoints(config)

The ping endpoints for this recipe are simply the tunnel endpoints

Returned as:

[PingEndpoints(self.matched.host1.int0, self.matched.host2.int0)]
get_packet_assert_config(ping_config)

The packet assert test configuration contains filter for gre protocol and grep patterns to match the ICMP or ICMP6 echo requests.
