#!/bin/bash # Copyright 2014 Cynthia Rempel # # Brief: Some cursery coverage tests of ifconfig... # Note: requires permissions to run modprobe and all ifconfig options # Commands used: grep, grep -i, ip link, ip tuntap, wc -l # # Possible improvements: # 1. Verify the dummy interface actually has the modified characteristics # instead of relying on ifconfig output # 2. Introduce more error cases, to verify ifconfig fails gracefully # 3. Do more complex calls to ifconfig, while mixing the order of the # arguments # 4. Cover more ifconfig options: # hw ether|infiniband ADDRESS - set LAN hardware address (AA:BB:CC...) # txqueuelen LEN - number of buffered packets before output blocks # Obsolete fields included for historical purposes: #
