# pxe-nic-check tests

Tests for `playbook/pxe-server-helpers/pxe-nic-check`. Neither needs root
or touches a real network.

## Unit tests

    python3 -m unittest discover -s tests/pxe-nic-check -v

Synthesized LLDP, CDP, EAPOL, STP and ARP frames and DHCPOFFER/ACK packets
(`frames.py`) fed to the parsers; the verdict table; own-server and
cloned-PXE-server handling; networkd lease parsing; config fallbacks; the
dnsmasq_bound logic; the status JSON shape and atomic 0644 write.

## Namespace lab

    python3 tests/pxe-nic-check/lab.py              # all scenarios, ~5 min
    python3 tests/pxe-nic-check/lab.py rogue br-lldp   # some

Re-runs itself under `unshare --user --map-root-user --net --mount`: a
private network namespace with veth pairs, so raw sockets work without sudo
and every frame stays inside it. Each scenario runs the real script in
check (`--json --probe`), `--guard` and `--watch` modes (watch with
`--stop-cmd "touch <marker>"` instead of `systemctl stop dnsmasq`) and
asserts the imaging verdict, the guard exit code, whether watch "stopped
dnsmasq", the evidence text and the status JSON shape.

Peers: `lab_peer.py` (a raw-socket DHCP responder and LLDP/EAPOL sender;
refuses to run unless `PXE_NIC_LAB=1`, which only the lab sets) and real
`dnsmasq` if installed (started with `--user= --group=`, since a user
namespace cannot drop privileges; scenarios are skipped without it).

The GE NIC (g0) is checked from a fake networkd lease with domain
test.geaerospace.net and must read `ge` in every scenario.
