Running manual tests
After the driver successfuly passes
all automated MDI test suites
for the appropriate platform,
you should run additional manual tests on the system.
To do this,
configure your card under TCP/IP on the test machine,
put the machine into init state 3,
and execute the following command:
ping -s <remote_machine>
Do the following
Pull cable-
While the ping is running,
pull the cable out of the card.
Verify that the keyboard is not locked up
and that the system does not panic,
although the ping response should stop.
Reinsert the cable and verify
that traffic resumes.
Panic and reboot the system-
Verify that the system reboots with the driver configured
after a system panic by forcing a panic
while the ping is running.
After the system reboots,
run something that stresses the system
such as the
plt
tests to ensure that the system integrity is preserved.
Interrupt and restore power-
Verify that the system reboots
with the driver configured after a power outage.
While the ping is running,
shut off power to the system.
After restoring power and rebooting the system,
run the
plt
tests to verify that system integrity is preserved.
