DHCPv4 proxy test cases

  • [Top] Network Topologies: TG = DUT with two links between the nodes.
  • [Enc] Packet Encapsulations: Eth-IPv4-UDP-BOOTP-DHCP
  • [Cfg] DUT configuration: DUT is configured with DHCPv4 proxy.
  • [Ver] TG verification: Test DHCPv4 packets are sent on TG on first link to DUT and received on TG on second link. On receive TG verifies if DHCPv4 packets are valid.

DHCPv6 proxy test cases

  • [Top] Network Topologies: TG = DUT with two links between the nodes.
  • [Cfg] DUT configuration: DUT is configured with DHCPv6 proxy.
  • [Ver] TG verification: Test DHCPv6 packets are sent on TG on first link to DUT and received on TG on second link. On receive TG verifies if DHCPv6 packets are valid
  • [Ref] Applicable standard specifications: RFC 3315
