Description
This test case cover Ethernet connection configuration.
Setup
Have LAN connection available, preferably with IPv4/IPv6 dualstack support.
How to test
- Connect the ethernet cable.
- Disable and re-enable ethernet interface via Network Manager applet (Gnome or KDE).
Expected Results
- If network has DHCP server running, you should get an IP Address, Default Route (gateway) and DNS addresses automatically. Check this via "Network Settings" in Gnome or "Network Management" applet in KDE and in terminal by running commands:
ip address
,ip route
andip -6 route
. If network supports IPv6 autoconfiguration via DHCPv6 or SLAAC your interface should have two IPv6 addresses: First local-link starting with "fe80::" and second globally unique address provided by network. - When interface is disabled, check by running
ip address
if interface state is "DOWN" and doesn't have other IP addresses then local-link. Runip route
andip -6 route
and check if all routes from disabled network are removed. After enabling, interface should return to previous state.
Optional
Optionally provide hints for exploratory testing.
