Can we reuse the function verify_mac_move_dci for the testcases 59, 60, 62 and 63? |
Address review feedback: instead of a separate verify_l3vni_host_mobility_dci() method, extend verify_mac_move_dci() with optional l3_traffic_scope and l3_traffic_types parameters. When provided, L3VNI traffic verification via verify_traffic() is injected at phases 3b, 6b, and 9b. This eliminates ~200 lines of duplicated MAC move logic.
|
Good call — done. In the latest commit (60589fc), The four L3VNI test cases now simply call: self.verify_mac_move_dci(tc_id, move_dir=..., host_type="mac+ipv4",
l3_traffic_scope='cross', l3_traffic_types=['l3_v4', 'l3_v6'])This eliminates ~200 lines of duplicated MAC move logic. |
|
For tc 59, 60, 62,63, we dont need to create a new testcases. We can use existing testcases and enable L3 traffic items for all tc excluding mac only testcase. |
Instead of creating separate L3VNI test cases, add l3_traffic_scope='cross' and l3_traffic_types=['l3_v4', 'l3_v6'] to all existing non-mac_only MAC move test cases. This injects L3VNI traffic checks at phases 3b, 6b, and 9b of verify_mac_move_dci(). Removed: - 4 dedicated L3VNI test methods - 4 L3VNI-specific move_dir entries from move_config, _MAC_SUFFIX, _MOVE_BAND - L3VNI references from _get_dci_mh_expected_nodes Updated 14 existing test cases: - orphan_within_dc: mac+ipv4, mac+ipv6 - orphan_across_dc: mac+ipv4, mac+ipv6, ipv4_changes, ipv6_changes - mh_to_mh_across_dc: mac+ipv4, mac+ipv6, ipv4_changes, ipv6_changes - mh_to_orphan_across_dc: mac+ipv4, mac+ipv6, ipv4_changes, ipv6_changes

Instead of passing l3_traffic_scope/l3_traffic_types parameters to verify_mac_move_dci(), L3 traffic streams are now created inline in get_stream_handles_dci() on vlan13 (L3VNI) for non-mac_only host types, matching how L2 streams are created on vlan12. verify_mac_move_dci() automatically sends/verifies L3 streams at phases 3b, 6b, 9b when l3_src1/l3_src2 stream handles are present in mm_handles. Changes: - _get_dci_mac_move_cfg: add L3VNI config (l3_vlan=13, gateway, IPs) - get_stream_handles_dci: create L3 raw traffic streams on vlan13 - verify_mac_move_dci: auto-verify L3 streams (no params needed) - All 14 non-mac_only test cases: remove l3_traffic_scope/types params

why do we still have 59,60,62,63 testcases? Its not needed. Remove the skip marker as well. So now all tc's except the mac only will have l2 and l3 traffic items? it should be same behavior as L2 |
…dback Removed 6 skipped ipv4_only/ipv6_only test methods (Solution_dci:80/81/87/88/94/95) and the vlan_change_l2_to_l3 placeholder (Solution_dci:96). These are not needed since all non-mac_only tests now have both L2 and L3 traffic items inline.

Add l3_vlan, l3_gateway_v4/v6, l3_src/dst_ipv4/ipv6 to the dci_mac_move section in vxlan_dci_input_file.yaml. _get_dci_mac_move_cfg() already reads these via cfg.get() with matching defaults, so the YAML values will be used when present.

@vallabh78 Done in f3edac8. Added L3VNI config to the dci_mac_move:

l3_dst_ipv4: "13.13.13.50"
l3_dst_ipv6: "13:13:13::50"
|

can you check the mac move config for l2 and l3 again, for l3 that gateway ip etc doesn't seem to match. Make sure the L3 traffic stream is created with correct config. |
L2 config uses 80.{vlan}.0.x / 8000:{vlan}::x (from generate_svi_ip_sag),
not {vlan}.{vlan}.{vlan}.x. Updated L3 config in both YAML and Python
defaults to follow the same pattern for vlan 13:
gateway: 80.13.0.1 / 8000:13::1
src: 80.13.0.99 / 8000:13::99
dst: 80.13.0.50 / 8000:13::50

…c_seq verify_mac_seq() referenced mac_found and ip_found without initializing them before the loop. They were only assigned inside conditional branches (mac_found=True at L5403/5449, ip_found=True at L5453), so when host_type included IP (mac+ipv4, ipv6_only, etc.) the first iteration hit 'if not ip_found:' at L5451 before any assignment, raising UnboundLocalError. The sibling function verify_type2_route() correctly initializes both at L5758-5759. Mirror that pattern here. Fixes: test_dci_mac_move_orphan_within_dc_mac_and_ipv4 and all ipv4_only/ipv6_only test methods.

Per reviewer feedback: L2 and L3 streams are now sent and validated together in one step at phases 3, 6, and 9. Previously L3 was a separate phase (3b/6b/9b) which meant L2 pass/fail was checked independently before L3. Now all streams run together so the host move correctness is validated by both L2 and L3 simultaneously.

@vallabh78 Fixed in e784a4c. L2 and L3 streams are now sent together in one At each traffic phase (3, 6, 9), all 4 streams (L2 src1, L2 src2, L3 src1, L3 src2) run simultaneously, and the test only passes if both L2 and L3 results are correct. If either L2 or L3 fails, the host move is reported as failed. Example log output will now look like: Net change: -20 lines (removed 72 lines of separate L3 phases, added 52 lines of merged logic). |

Description of PR
Summary: All non-
mac_onlyMAC move test cases now create both L2 and L3 traffic streams inline. L3 streams are created inget_stream_handles_dci()on vlan13 (L3VNI in Vrf101) using the samecircuit_type='raw'pattern as L2 streams on vlan12. L3 traffic is inter-VLAN routed: source IP on vlan13 (80.13.0.99), destination IP is the host's L2 IP on vlan12 (e.g.80.12.0.180), and the Ethernet destination MAC is the SAG gateway RMAC (00:11:22:33:44:55) so the switch performs L3 routing lookup. L2 and L3 streams are sent and validated together in a single step at phases 3, 6, and 9 — the test only passes when both L2 and L3 results are correct.Files modified:

Approach
What is the motivation for this PR?
Add L3VNI traffic verification to existing MAC move test cases so that every non-
mac_onlytest validates both L2 (vlan12) and L3 (vlan13→vlan12 inter-VLAN routed) forwarding during host mobility events. Also enables the formerly-skippedipv4_only/ipv6_onlytest variants to run, and fixes pre-existing bugs inverify_mac_seq()and_log_evpn_type2_route_table()that prevented them from working.How did you do it?
l3_vlan,l3_gateway_v4/v6,l3_src_ipv4/ipv6,l3_rmac) tovxlan_dci_input_file.yamlunderglobal.dci_mac_move. L3 source IPs follow the80.{vlan}.0.x/8000:{vlan}::xSAG pattern. L3 destination IPs are derived at runtime from the host's L2 IP on vlan12 (inter-VLAN routing). L3 dst MAC is the SAG gateway RMAC (00:11:22:33:44:55).get_stream_handles_dci()to create L3 raw traffic streams on vlan13 for all non-mac_onlyhost types, using the sametg_traffic_config(circuit_type='raw', ...)pattern as L2 streams. The L3 dst IP is the host's vlan12 IP (stream_info['src1']['ip_dst']/stream_info['src2']['ip_dst']), so traffic enters vlan13 and is routed to vlan12 via L3VNI. The L3 dst MAC is the SAG RMAC so the switch performs L3 routing lookup.verify_mac_move_dci()to send all L2+L3 streams together in a single_send_traffic_dci()call at phases 3, 6, 9. L3 stream handles are auto-detected viamm_handles.get('l3_src1_stream_handle'). After sending, both L2 and L3 stats are validated — the test passes only if both are correct. No separate traffic phases for L3.@pytest.mark.skipfrom 6ipv4_only/ipv6_onlytests (Solution_dci:80/81/87/88/94/95) so they now run.vlan_change_l2_to_l3placeholder test (Solution_dci:96).verify_mac_seq()invxlan_helper.py: addedmac_found = Falseandip_found = Falseinitialization before the loop, matching the pattern inverify_type2_route().

python3 -m py_compilepasses (no syntax errors)flake8 --select=E9,F63,F7,F82clean (no critical errors introduced; pre-existing F821 at L5571-5572 unrelated)yaml.safe_load()UnboundLocalError(ip_found),TypeError(route_type), wrong L3 dst_ip (vlan13 instead of vlan12), and wrong L3 dst_mac (fabricated instead of RMAC) were caught and fixedCombined L2+L3 traffic timing — All 4 streams (L2 src1, L2 src2, L3 src1, L3 src2) are now sent together in one
_send_traffic_dci()call. Verify that running 4 simultaneous traffic items doesn't cause IXIA timing issues or unexpected packet drops, especially on the shared source port.Inter-VLAN routing path — L3 streams enter on vlan13 (src IP
80.13.0.99) with dst IP on vlan12 (the host's L2 IP, e.g.80.12.0.180) and dst MAC00:11:22:33:44:55(SAG RMAC). Verify that the switch has the correct routing config to forward from vlan13→vlan12 via L3VNI in Vrf101, and that the SAG gateway on vlan13 (80.13.0.1) is reachable from the traffic generator port.L3 stream source MAC — L3 streams use
l3_mac_src = "02:00:00:13:{sf}:99"as the Ethernet source MAC. This is a locally-administered MAC that identifies the L3 traffic source. Confirm this is acceptable or whether it should also be a known host/gateway MAC.Additional uninitialized variables in
verify_mac_seq()— Two runtime bugs have already been found and fixed (ip_foundUnboundLocalError,route_typeTypeError). Check for other uninitialized variables or signature mismatches that may only surface for specific host types or code paths. In particular,learn_typeis used at L5447/L5490 inside weight-check blocks — confirm it's always assigned before use in those paths.ipv4_only/ipv6_onlyhost type handling — These 6 tests were previously skipped and are now enabled. Verify thatget_stream_handles_dci()correctly handles these host types (i.e., thatipv4_onlyfalls into theipv4_host_typestuple andipv6_onlyfalls into theipv6_host_typestuple for both L2 and L3 stream creation).L3 traffic follows host location — L3
l3_src1targets dest1's host IP;l3_src2targets dest2's host IP. Verify this correctly tracks host mobility: when host is at dest1,l3_src1should pass (routed to vlan12 on dest1) andl3_src2should fail (host not at dest2).YAML values vs Python defaults — L3 config now exists in both
vxlan_dci_input_file.yamland ascfg.get()defaults in_get_dci_mac_move_cfg(). The YAML values take precedence. Confirm this duplication pattern is acceptable (it matches the existing L2 config approach).Not fully tested at runtime — Multiple bugs were caught by the reviewer during test runs, all in pre-existing code or newly-written L3 stream config. The latest change (merging L2+L3 into single step) has not yet been verified on testbed. A full successful test run through all 20 non-
mac_onlytests is needed to confirm correctness.Any platform specific information?
Requires 3-DC EVPN-VXLAN topology with BGW spines and IXIA traffic generation (spytest framework).
Supported testbed topology if it's a new test case?
3-datacenter EVPN-VXLAN DCI topology (DC1: 4 leafs + 2 spines + 2 BGW spines, DC2: 2 leafs + 2 BGW spines, DC3: 1 leaf + 1 BGW spine).
