New page

= Scope =

This document describes some of the possible network configurations for RSRV and the expected results.

The expected results are given as the output various IOC shell commands (eg. epicsParamShow/casr/dbcar).

= Preparation =

This testing should be done on a computer with more than one physical/virtual network interface in additional to the loopback.

On Linux additional tun/tap virtual interfaces can easily be added.
In the following examples the addresses ''10.5.1.1'' and ''10.5.2.1'' name two such interfacess.
Additional interfaces may be present.

<pre>
ip tuntap add dev tap0 mode tap
ip addr add 10.5.1.1/24 dev tap5
ip tuntap add dev tap1 mode tap
ip addr add 10.5.2.1/24 dev tap5
</pre>

These can later be removed

<pre>
ip tuntap del dev tap0 mode tap
ip tuntap del dev tap1 mode tap
</pre>
