TE-3.1: Base Hierarchical Route Installation

Summary

Validate IPv4 AFT support in gRIBI with recursion.

Procedure

Topology:

• Connect ATE port-1 to DUT port-1 and ATE port-2 to DUT port-2.
• Create a non-default VRF (VRF-1)
• Configure PBF policy in DEFAULT to match src address and redirect traffic to VRF-1
• Apply PBF policy on ingress interface DUT port-1
• Establish gRIBI client connection with DUT using default parameters and persistence mode PRESERVE, make it become leader and flush all entries after each case.

Validate hierarchical resolution across VRFs:

1. Using gRIBI Modify RPC install the following IPv4Entry set per the following order, and ensure FIB ACK is received for each of the AFTOperation:

   1. Add 203.0.113.1/32 (default VRF) to NextHopGroup (default VRF) containing one NextHop (default VRF) specified to be the address of ATE port-2.
   2. Add 198.51.100.1/32 (VRF-1) to NextHopGroup (default VRF) containing one NextHop (default VRF) specified to be 203.0.113.1/32 in the default VRF.

2. Forward packets between ATE port-1 and ATE port-2 (destined to 198.51.100.1/32) and determine that packets are forwarded successfully.

3. Validate that both routes are shown as installed via AFT telemetry.

4. Ensure that removing the IPv4Entry 203.0.113.1/32 with a DELETE operation results in traffic loss, and removal from AFT.

Validate hierarchical resolution using egress interface and MAC:

1. Using gRIBI Modify RPC install the following IPv4Entry set per the following order, and ensure FIB ACK is received for each of the AFTOperation:

   1. Add 203.0.113.1/32 (default VRF) to NextHopGroup (default VRF) containing one NextHop (default VRF) that specifies DUT port-2 as the egress interface and 00:1A:11:00:0A:BC as the destination MAC address.
   2. Add 198.51.100.1/32 (VRF-1) to NextHopGroup (default VRF) containing one NextHop (default VRF) specified to be 203.0.113.1/32 in the default VRF.

2. Forward packets between ATE port-1 and ATE port-2 (destined to 198.51.100.1/32) and ensure that ATE port-2 receives packet with 00:1A:11:00:00:01 as the destination MAC address.

3. Repeat the above tests with one additional scenario with the following changes, and it should not change the expected test result.

   • Add an empty decap VRF, DECAP_TE_VRF.
   • Add 4 empty encap VRFs, ENCAP_TE_VRF_A, ENCAP_TE_VRF_B, ENCAP_TE_VRF_C, and ENCAP_TE_VRF_D.
   • Add 2 empty transit VRFs, TE_VRF_111 and TE_VRF_222.
   • Program route 198.51.100.1/32 through gribi in TE_VRF_111 instead of VRF-1.
   • Replace the existing VRF selection policy with vrf_selection_policy_w as in https://github.com/openconfig/featureprofiles/pull/2217.
   • Send IP-In-IP traffic with source IP to ipv4_outer_src_111 (198.51.100.111) and DSCP to dscp_encap_a_1(10).
