Description

Add a new test in ALP to verify that bonded networks are supported on Network Manager.
Introduce the test at : https://openqa.suse.de/group_overview/497

Acceptance Criteria

  • Ensure that the necessary kernel modules for bonding are loaded. Create and verify a new bonded interface.
  • Add Ethernet interfaces as slaves.
  • Verify that network connectivity is maintained through the bonded interface

I performed the manual steps, and below are the steps for reference to automate.

  • Ensure that the necessary kernel modules for bonding are loaded.
 localhost:~ # lsmod | grep bonding
 bonding               258048  0
 tls                   151552  1 bonding
  • Create a new bond interface (e.g., bond0) using nmcli and verify it.
localhost:~ # nmcli con add type bond ifname bond0 con-name bond0
 Connection 'bond0' (f3d989fd-6f94-4afa-aa21-22dd8684b757) successfully added.
 localhost:~ # ip a s bond0
 4: bond0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default qlen 1000
     link/ether 5a:b2:d6:22:db:42 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
 localhost:~ #
  • Add the network interfaces you want to bond as slaves to the bond interface. Here, I have added 2 ethernet interfaces,
 localhost:~ # nmcli con add type ethernet ifname eth0 master bond0
 Connection 'bond-slave-eth0' (c3f01588-8dcd-46f7-8bd2-d86021e906dc) successfully added.
 localhost:~ # nmcli con add type ethernet ifname eth1 master bond0
 Connection 'bond-slave-eth1' (78cbc2e0-36e1-4c37-a039-a26fa49d55fb) successfully added.
  • Activate the Bond Interface and reboot the ALP machine. Once it boots up, verify the 'bond0' interface to ensure that its state is 'activated' and that the devices (slaves) are correctly associated.
 localhost:~ # nmcli conn up bond0
 Connection successfully activated (master waiting for slaves) (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/6) 

 localhost:~ # reboot

do we have some documentation or example on how to configure an openQA test that runs a virtual machine with 2 network cards ? Are there some specific variables to set ?

trying to reproduce manually, seems interface keep configuration after reboot. Probably the issue is related to different naming of interfaces
