Testing VRRP Module

This page describes how to test Ryu VRRP service

Running integrated tests

Some testing scripts are available.

  • ryu/tests/integrated/test_vrrp_linux_multi.py
  • ryu/tests/integrated/test_vrrp_multi.py

Each files include how to run in the comment. Please refer to it.

Running multiple Ryu VRRP in network namespace

The following command lines set up necessary bridges and interfaces.

And then run RYU-VRRP:

# ip netns add gateway1
# ip netns add gateway2

# brctl addbr vrrp-br0
# brctl addbr vrrp-br1

# ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth0-br0
# ip link add veth1 type veth peer name veth1-br0
# ip link add veth2 type veth peer name veth2-br0
# ip link add veth3 type veth peer name veth3-br1
# ip link add veth4 type veth peer name veth4-br1
# ip link add veth5 type veth peer name veth5-br1

# brctl addif vrrp-br0 veth0-br0
# brctl addif vrrp-br0 veth1-br0
# brctl addif vrrp-br0 veth2-br0
# brctl addif vrrp-br1 veth3-br1
# brctl addif vrrp-br1 veth4-br1
# brctl addif vrrp-br1 veth5-br1

# ip link set vrrp-br0 up
# ip link set vrrp-br1 up

# ip link set veth0 up
# ip link set veth0-br0 up
# ip link set veth1-br0 up
# ip link set veth2-br0 up
# ip link set veth3-br1 up
# ip link set veth4-br1 up
# ip link set veth5 up
# ip link set veth5-br1 up

# ip link set veth1 netns gateway1
# ip link set veth2 netns gateway2
# ip link set veth3 netns gateway1
# ip link set veth4 netns gateway2

# ip netns exec gateway1 ip link set veth1 up
# ip netns exec gateway2 ip link set veth2 up
# ip netns exec gateway1 ip link set veth3 up
# ip netns exec gateway2 ip link set veth4 up

# ip netns exec gateway1 .ryu-vrrp veth1 '10.0.0.2' 254
# ip netns exec gateway2 .ryu-vrrp veth2 '10.0.0.3' 100

Caveats

Please make sure that all interfaces and bridges are UP. Don't forget interfaces in netns gateway1/gateway2.
