Hi Andrea,
I was running kernel 5.15 (5.15.0-139-generic).
Removing the sink to /dev/null in check_hs_connectivity
I can see the following error:
------------
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- 10.0.0.2 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms
TEST: Hosts connectivity: hs-t100-1 -> hs-t100-2 (tenant 100) [FAIL]
.....
------------
The error I can see upon installing the route in the setup is the
following:
------------
Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "vrftable" is a garbage.
------------
I can see that iproute2 doesn't support any End routes
------------
~$ ip route help 2>&1 | grep -qo "End"
~$ echo $?
1
------------
It's similar to the case we added last month(-ish) for
srv6_end_dt46_l3vpn_test.sh.
I just didn't realise at the time that there were standalone 4 and 6
test cases as well, or I would have added those checks at the same time.
Kind regards,
-Alessio
