Packages python-twisted-core, python-zope-interface, groff are not in repo anymore.
Python packages were probably removed because of this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1363962

In rh_nic_cert.tar, the script rh_nic_cert.sh defines IMG_GUEST as:

http://netqe-bj.usersys.redhat.com/share/vms/rhel7.4.qcow2

But the FQDN in that URL is not in the Internet, and so this error happens:

wget http://netqe-bj.usersys.redhat.com/share/vms/rhel7.4.qcow2

--2018-01-28 15:19:18-- http://netqe-bj.usersys.redhat.com/share/vms/rhel7.4.qcow2
Resolving netqe-bj.usersys.redhat.com (netqe-bj.usersys.redhat.com)... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘netqe-bj.usersys.redhat.com’

I was able to resolve it by connecting to Red Hat's network by VPN (since I am a Red Hat partner engineer, I was granted VPN access).

Can you put that rhel7.4.qcow2 image in a publicly-accessible file server so that it won't be necessary to VPN to Red Hat?

Hi, the readme states:

"""
Please visit https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/479/ver=/rhel---8/8.2/x86_64/product-software and use the combo boxes to select the correct guest image for use with the tests. For example for 8.2 you would select 8.2 in the version and then select Red Hat Enterprise Linux Fast Datapath from the Product Variant. Save this to the DUT as the Ansible script will use it for the test setup. You will need to modify the trex_settings.yml file to specify where this was saved.
"""

But when we navigate to that repository of images, there is no .iso available for Fast Datapath option.

I have an issue running Perf-Verify.sh
It fails with following log:

By default it installs Python packages according to file:

vswitchperf# cat requirements.txt

pexpect==3.3
tox==1.8.1
jinja2==2.7.3
xmlrunner==1.7.7
requests==2.8.1
netaddr==0.7.18
scapy-python3==0.18
pyzmq==14.5.0
distro

The Scapy dependency is on python3 Scapy fork called "scapy3k".
As we can see in l2.py this fork doesn't have Dot1AD implemented.
I manually installed upstream Scapy in vsperfenv with following command:

scl enable python33 "
virtualenv "/root/vsperfenv"
source /root/vsperfenv/bin/activate
cd /root/scapy
python setup.py install
"

However with upstream version script fails with following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/root/vsperfenv/lib/python3.3/site-packages/scapy/packet.py", line 230, in __getattr__
    fld, v = self.getfield_and_val(attr)
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

It seems that this script and trex are dependent on very specific version of Scapy but not the one specified in requirements file.

We are Running OVS Function qualification test on broadcom controller .We configured the setup as per the link shown below on RHEL8.0
https://github.com/ctrautma/RHEL_NIC_QUALIFICATION/tree/8.0-Beta

Once setup done and started the tests, below listed test cases are failing , We are assuming it would be a script issue ,
ovs_test_vlan1
ovs_test_vxlan_flow
ovs_test_vm_vlan
ovs_test_vm_multiple_vlans
ovs_test_bond_lacp_active
ovs_test_bond_lacp_passive
ovs_test_bond_balance_slb
ovs_test_bond_balance_tcp
ovs_test_vlan_mode_access
ovs_test_vlan_mode_trunk
ovs_test_vlan_mode_native_tagged
ovs_test_vxlan_flow_ipv6

Could you please check & confirm wheather issue is from script or somewhere else??

In rh_nic_cert/bin/swcfg_cisco, i see that setup_port_channel creates port_channel, sets trunk mode as below and sets channel-group for switchports.

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-100

If the physical switchports are not configured to trunk or allows vlans are different, setting channel-group on switchports can fail with one of the following errors.
command failed: port not compatible [port allowed VLAN list]
command failed: port not compatible [port mode]

So, setup_port_channel/cleanup_port_channel should take care of setting trunk mode/vlans for switchports while configuring bonding.
