Please find testlab setup instructions here

Minigraph

Minigraph is the only resource/starting point for configuring a SONiC device.

Minigraph is a XML format file. Each SONiC device must have a matching Minigraph file for device configuration and test.

SONiC devices Minigraph files could be saved locally or centralized saved in a remote location.

All local Minigraph files are saved under ansible/minigraph folder. The file name must match your SONiC device name specified in 'lab' inventory file under ansible/ folder

Configuration and Minigraph

Generate Minigraph File Based On Testbed Type

How to Run Test

  • Run all tests from in sonic-mgmt docker.

Tests that you may run to validate SONiC switch features of your platform

  • Test List

  • Command to run tests:

    ansible-playbook -i lab --limit your-dut-name test_sonic.yml --tags your-test-tag1,test-tag-2

  • Example: run fib test

    ansible-playbook -i lab --limit your-dut-name test_sonic.yml --tags fib -e "ptf_host=10.64.246.19 testbed_type=t1"

  • not all tests in the list can be run through for a single topology

    based on your testbed topology, here is summary of what test can be run in which deployed testbed type

    t0: [acl, bgp_facts, bgp_speaker, decap, dhcp_relay, fast_reboot, fdb, lldp, lag_2]

    common: [ link_flap, mem_check, ntp, snmp, sensors_check, syslog, reboot ]

    t1: [ acl, bgp_fact, decap, everflow_testbed, fib, link_flap, lldp ]

    t1_lag: [ acl, bgp_fact, everflow_testbed, decap, fib, lldp, lag_2 ]

    ptf: [ arp, copp, everflow, qos, neighbor ]
