Hi All , Description of problem: I am getting error while running if4-mtu-change and if6-updown network stress interfaces test case from LTP version 20120903 (ltp-full-20120903.tar) i.e. on Linux 3.2 kernel. Below are the outputs for error. The Network stress interfaces part of the LTP stress fails. network_stress.interface:if4-mtu-change FAIL 2 network_stress.interface:if6-updown FAIL 2 Below are the cause for failing above mentioned testcase: if4-mtu-change01 0 TINFO : Verify the IPv4 connectivity is not broken when ifconfig command changes MTU 128 times every 5 seconds if4-mtu-change01 1 TFAIL : eth1 is broken. if4-mtu-change02 0 TINFO : Verify the IPv4 connectivity is not broken when ip command changes MTU 128 times every 5 seconds if4-mtu-change02 2 TBROK : Test Link 0 is somthing wrong. if6-updown 1 TBROK : Link-local address is not found at eth1 on the remote host Suggested Code changes: To resolve above mentioned error by making changes in ltp-full-20120903/testcases/network/stress/interface/if4-mtu-change and ltp-full-20120903/testcases/network/stress/interface/if6-updown b/ltp-full-20120903/testcases/network/stress/interface/if6-updown file.
