Embodiment Construction

[0015] refer to figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of an application environment of a preferred embodiment of the PXE test system of the present invention. The PXE test system 10 is used to test the PXE (preboot executeenvironment, pre-boot execution environment) function of the network card 11 . The PXE function enables the network card 11 to download a remote boot image from a remote device (such as a remote server) through the network, and execute the remote boot image to start the operating system. The PXE test system 10 runs in the baseboard management controller 13 of the server 12 . The baseboard management controller 13 includes a network interface 14 for connecting to the network card 11 . The baseboard management controller 13 also includes a memory 15 for storing the remote boot image. In this embodiment, the network card 11 is installed in the server 12 . The network card 11 can also be installed in other devices (such as computers).

Abstract

The invention relates to a PXE (preboot execution environment) function test system and method which are used for testing the PXE function of a network interface card. The PXE function test system operates in a baseboard management controller of a server, wherein the baseboard management controller is connected with the network interface card in a communicating way through a network interface of the baseboard management controller. The PXE function test system comprises a DHCP(dynamic host configuration protocol) service module, a boot service module and a TFTP (trivial file transfer protocol) service module; the DHCP service module is used for responding to a DHCP DISCOVER packet sent by the network interface card and returning a DHCP OFFER packet so as to provide an IP (internet protocol) address for the network interface card; the boot service module is used for responding to a DHCPREQUREST packet sent by the network interface card and returning a DHCP ASK packet so as to provide an remote boot image file name and a TFTP configuration parameter for the network interface card; and the TFTP service module is used for responding to a packet which is sent by the network interface card and used for requesting for downloading a remote boot image and establishing a connection based on an MTFTP (multicast trivial file transfer protocol) or TFTP so that the remote boot image can be downloaded from the baseboard management controller by the network interface card through the connection. According to the PXE function test system and method, the network for PXE function test does not need to be built additionally, and the PXE function test cost is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a test system and method, in particular to a PXE test system and method. Background technique [0002] At present, most network cards are equipped with a PXE (preboot execute environment, pre-boot execution environment) function. By executing the PXE function, a device (for example, a computer or a server) installed with a network card can download a remote boot image from a remote device through the network, so as to start the operating system. [0003] When performing a PXE function test on the network card, the traditional test method needs to set up a server connected to the network card, and the server needs to be installed with a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service. Since the DHCP service is installed, in order not to conflict with the original network of the network card, another network needs to be established. However, the additional cost of building a netwo...
