QA:Testcase Virtualization XenDomU Network

Description

This test case verifies that Xen DomU networking works correctly, including the ability to attach/detach network devices.

How to test

1. From the dom0, attach a new virbr0 type interface to the rawhide domU

   $> virsh attach-interface rawhide bridge virbr0

2. Inside the guest run

   $> ifconfig

   You should be able to see it. It will probably be eth1, assuming you already had eth0 setup from installation.
3. Trying pinging the gateway from it

   $> ifconfig eth1 192.168.122.10 netmask 255.255.255.0

   $> ping -I eth1 -c 2 192.168.122.1

4. From the dom0, disconnect the interface from the rawhide guest

   $> virsh detach-interface rawhide bridge [--mac <mac>]

   If you don't specify the mac address you may remove eth0 instead.
5. Try adding at least 16 with something like this

   $> for i in `seq 1 15` ; do virsh attach-interface rawhide bridge virbr0 ; done

6. Now you can repeat the steps but with type xenbr0, that is using

   $> virsh attach-interface rawhide bridge xenbr0

   . Note, this will require you configure the interface differently, possibly with dhcp. That's most easily done with the ifup/down scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.

Expected Results

1. The network devices should be presented to the domU on attach-interface, and removed from the guest on detach-interface.
2. The rawhide guest should be able to use the network interfaces.
