Hi Jiri I have a few hacked together python scripts combined with the Ostinato drone, integrated into a Jenkins CI system, for testing DSA. Taking a quick look at the XML files, it looks like we took different approaches. I have a host with 8 Ethernet interfaces connected to the switch. You appear to have many more machines, with one or two interfaces connected to the switch per machine. This is going to make it difficult for me to run your tests using my setup. I only took a quick look at the tests, but it also does not seem like the linux machine in the switch itself is involved in the tests. e.g. l2-000-minimal.py, you put IP addresses on the two machines connected to the switch, but what about putting an address on the linux bridge interface and make sure you can ping that as well? This is important for DSA, since the switch is often embedded in a WiFi access point and a lot of traffic is coming from the wifi device attached to the linux host. > It's just a start.

If i can make them work with my testbed setup, and i can get test results in a form Jenkins understands, i would be interested in using them. Are you going to be in the netdev 1.1 switchdev BoF? Maybe we can discuss testing there? Andrew
