QA:Testcase Virtualization Promisc Mode

Description

This test is intended to test transfering data in promisc mode

How to test

1. start the virtual machine
2. create an 1G file in the host

   dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/random bs=1024k count=1000 

3. get che checksum of the random file

   md5sum /tmp/random

4. open a guest session and execute the following command to switch between promisc and non-promisc mode:

   while true; do

   ifconfig eth0 promisc

   sleep 0.01

   ifconfig eth0 -promisc

   sleep 0.01

   done

5. in the meantime, scp the random file to the guest

   scp /tmp/random root@guest_ip:/tmp

6. compare the md5sum for both guest and host
7. kill the previous script in the guest
8. restore the nic to non-promisc mode

   ifconfig eth0 -promisc

Expected Results

1. compare the md5sum for both guest and host, if they are different, fail the whole testcase
