Description
This test case tests whether NetworkManager can correctly assume and pass off a pre-configured network connection. You will need a functional wired ethernet connection.
How to test
- Start up the system
- Check if there is a configuration file for your network connection in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, e.g./etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. If there is, make sure it contains the line HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx , where the actual value is the MAC address of your network card. If there is not, use system-config-network to create one - Ensure that NetworkManager is running and managing the ethernet connection
- Stop the NetworkManager service:
service NetworkManager stop - Test if network connectivity is still present (with ifconfig, a web browser...)
- Start the NetworkManager service again
Expected Results
- When you stop the NetworkManager service, network connectivity should be retained without manual intervention
- When you start the NetworkManager service again after having stopped it, the existing connection should be 'assumed' by NetworkManager, it should not take the connection down and then recreate it
