There are a number of test programs supplied with the PPP
subsystem. By default all of these tests use the device configured by
CYGPKG_PPP_TEST_DEVICE as the PPP link device.
ppp_up
This test just brings up the PPP link on
CYGPKG_PPP_TEST_DEVICE and waits until the remote end brings
it back down. No modem lines are used and the program expects a PPP
connection to be waiting on the other end of the line. Typically the
remote end will test the link using ping or access
the HTTP system monitor if it is present.
If CYGPKG_PPP_TESTS_AUTOMATE is set, then this test
attempts to bring PPP up at each of the baud rates specified in
CYGDAT_PPP_TEST_BAUD_RATES. If it is not set then
it will just bring the connection up at 115200 baud.
ppp_updown
This test brings the PPP link up on
CYGPKG_PPP_TEST_DEVICE and attempts to
ping the remote end of the link. Once the pings
have finished, the link is then brought down.
If CYGPKG_PPP_TESTS_AUTOMATE is set, then this test
attempts to bring PPP up at each of the baud rates specified in
CYGDAT_PPP_TEST_BAUD_RATES. If it is not set then
it will just bring the connection up at 115200 baud.
chat
This test does not bring the PPP link up but simply executes a chat
script. It expects a server at the remote end of the link to supply
the correct responses.
This program expects the test_server.sh script to
be running on the remote end and attempts several different tests,
expecting a variety of different responses for each.
ppp_auth
This test attempts to bring up the PPP link under a variety of
different authentication conditions. This includes checking that both
PAP and CHAP authentication work, and that the connection is rejected
when the incorrect authentication protcol or secrets are used.
This test expects the test_server.sh script to be
running on the remote end. For this test to work the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file on the remote
end should contain the following two lines:
eCos * secret *
eCosPAP * secretPAP *
The /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file should contain:
eCos * secret *
eCosCHAP * secretCHAP *
isp
This test expects the serial test device to be connected to a Hayes
compatible modem. The test dials the telephone number given in
CYGPKG_PPP_DEFAULT_DIALUP_NUMBER and attempts to
log on to an ISP using the user name and password supplied in
CYGPKG_PPP_AUTH_DEFAULT_USER and
CYGPKG_PPP_AUTH_DEFAULT_PASSWD. Once the PPP
connection has been made, the program then attempts to ping a number
of well known addresses.
Since this test is designed to interact with an ISP, it does not run
within the automated testing system.
tcp_echo
This is a version of the standard network tcp_echo
test that brings up the PPP connection before waiting for the
tcp_sink and tcp_source programs
to connect. It is expected that at least one of these programs will
connect via the PPP link. However, if another network interface is
present, such as an ethernet device, then one may connect via that
interface.
While this test is supported by the test_server.sh
script, it runs for such a long time that it should not normally be
used during automated testing.
nc_test_slave
This is a version of the standard network
nc_test_slave test that brings up the PPP
connection before waiting for the nc_test_master
program to connect. It is expected that the master will connect via
the PPP link.
While this test is supported by the test_server.sh
script, it runs for such a long time that it should not normally be
used during automated testing.
