Bugs Found and Fixed

BUG #4: PPPoE Add Sends Wrong Field Name

Field Detail
Severity High
Symptom dawos pppoe add ens19 returns 422: Field required for body.interface
Root Cause CLI sends {"name": "ens19"} but API expects {"interface": "ens19"} per PppoeAddRequest model
Fix Changed json={"name": name} to json={"interface": name} in dawos_cli/commands/pppoe.py
File dawos_cli/commands/pppoe.py line 28
Status Fixed and verified — full add/list/remove cycle works

BUG #5: DNS Set Sends Wrong Field Name

Field Detail
Severity High
Symptom dawos network dns-set 8.8.8.8,1.1.1.1 returns 422: Field required for body.nameservers
Root Cause CLI sends {"servers": [...]} but API expects {"nameservers": [...]} per DnsUpdateRequest model
Fix Changed json={"servers": server_list} to json={"nameservers": server_list} in dawos_cli/commands/network.py
File dawos_cli/commands/network.py line 121
Test Updated tests/test_commands.py::TestNetworkCommands::test_dns_set
Status Fixed and verified — full set/verify/restore cycle works

BUG #6: NAT Egress Set Sends Wrong Field Name

Field Detail
Severity High
Symptom dawos nat egress-set 10.0.0.100 203.0.113.5 returns 422: Field required for body.target
Root Cause CLI sends {"customer_ip": "...", "public_ip": "..."} but API expects {"target": "...", "public_ip": "..."} per NatEgressSetRequest model
Fix Changed "customer_ip" to "target" in dawos_cli/commands/nat.py
File dawos_cli/commands/nat.py line 52
Status Fixed and verified — egress set returns 400 (nft table not configured, expected infra limitation)

BUG #7: Traffic Ratelimit Sends Wrong URL Path

Field Detail
Severity High
Symptom dawos traffic ratelimit testuser1 5M/20M returns 404: Not Found despite active session
Root Cause CLI sends POST /api/v1/traffic/ratelimit with {"username": "...", "rate": "..."} in body, but API expects POST /api/v1/traffic/ratelimit/{username} with only {"rate": "..."} in body
Fix Changed client.post("/api/v1/traffic/ratelimit", json={"username": username, "rate": rate}) to client.post(f"/api/v1/traffic/ratelimit/{username}", json={"rate": rate})
File dawos_cli/commands/traffic.py line 78
Test Updated tests/test_commands.py::TestTrafficCommands::test_ratelimit
Status Fixed and verified — full ratelimit/restore cycle works with live PPPoE session

BUG #8: Session Table Shows "—" for Rate Limit, Rx/Tx Bytes

Field Detail
Severity Medium
Symptom dawos session list shows "—" in Rate Limit column even when shaper is active; dawos session find shows "—" for Rx Bytes and Tx Bytes
Root Cause accel-ppp returns hyphenated field names (rate-limit, rx-bytes, tx-bytes) but output.table() and _print_csv() look up underscored names (rate_limit, rx_bytes, tx_bytes) — key mismatch causes fallback to "—"
Fix Added fallback lookup: row.get(col, row.get(col.replace("_", "-"), "—")) in both table() and _print_csv()
File dawos_cli/output.py lines 42, 163
Status Fixed and verified — Rate Limit, Rx Bytes, Tx Bytes display correctly in table, CSV, and JSON formats

BUG #9: Conntrack Set Sends Wrong Field Name

Field Detail
Severity High
Symptom dawos firewall conntrack-set 262144 returns 422: Field required for body.max_value
Root Cause CLI sends {"max": 262144} but API expects {"max_value": 262144} per ConntrackUpdateRequest model
Fix Changed json={"max": max_entries} to json={"max_value": max_entries} in dawos_cli/commands/firewall.py
File dawos_cli/commands/firewall.py line 74
Test Updated tests/test_commands.py::TestFirewallCommands::test_conntrack_set — now asserts correct payload
Status Fixed and verified — conntrack-set 262144 succeeds, read-back confirms nf_conntrack_max=262144

BUG #10: Monitoring Configure Sends Wrong Fields

Field Detail
Severity High
Symptom dawos monitoring configure -t prometheus -v enabled returns 422: Field required for body.service
Root Cause CLI accepted --target/-t and --value/-v and sent {"target": "prometheus", "value": "enabled"}, but API expects ConfigureExporterRequest with {"service": str, "enable": bool}
Fix Redesigned command interface: replaced --target/-t and --value/-v with --service/-s (required) and --enable/--disable (boolean flag). Updated docstring.
File dawos_cli/commands/monitoring.py lines 37-48
Test Updated tests/test_commands.py::TestMonitoringCommands::test_configure — uses new flags
Test Added tests/test_commands.py::TestMonitoringCommands::test_configure_disable — verifies disable path
Status Fixed and verified — configure -s accel-ppp --enable and --disable both succeed

dawos config apply-status Pending: True confirmed
dawos config confirm Auto-rollback cancelled

Config Rollback (1/1)

dawos config rollback "accel-ppp.conf.20260707_184800.bak" -f Config rolled back

Service Command (1/1)

Command Result
dawos service cmd "show stat" accel-ppp statistics returned

N/A Commands (Infrastructure Dependent)

These commands work correctly but require infrastructure not present on the dev server:

Command Response Reason
dawos service restart -f 500 systemctl not in sudoers whitelist (by design)
dawos nat egress-set 400 nft accelnat table not configured
dawos nat egress-del 400 nft accelnat table not configured

All three are correct behavior given the environment — the CLI sends the right request, the server responds appropriately for its state.

Note: Traffic commands (ratelimit, ratelimit-restore, queue) were previously N/A but are now fully tested with a live PPPoE session (see below).


Live PPPoE Session Tests (25 tests)

Tested with a real PPPoE session: PPPoE Client → BNG ens20 → accel-ppp.

Test Environment

Field Value
PPPoE User testuser1
Auth chap-secrets (PAP/CHAP/MSCHAPv1/v2)
IP Assignment Static (10.99.0.2 via chap-secrets)
BNG Interface ens20
Client MAC aa🇧🇧cc:dd:ee:ff
MTU 1400

Session Lifecycle (8/8)

Command Result
dawos session list Session displayed with all fields
dawos session find testuser1 Session found with rate-limit, rx/tx bytes
dawos session snapshot testuser1 Full snapshot with sid, rx/tx pkts
dawos session by-ip 10.99.0.2 Found: true, session details
dawos session by-sid a35a5ccb37202dbd Found: true (uses accel-ppp session ID, not MAC)
dawos session terminate testuser1 -f Terminated, PPPoE client auto-reconnected in ~3s
dawos session restart testuser1 -f "CPE should reconnect", auto-reconnected
dawos session drop-by-mac aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff -f Dropped 1 session, auto-reconnected

Traffic Shaping (7/7)

Command Result
dawos traffic ratelimit testuser1 5M/20M PASS shaper → 5M/20M (BUG #7 fixed)
dawos session list (verify) Rate Limit column: 20000/5000 (BUG #8 fixed)
dawos traffic queue testuser1 TC qdisc tbf + police rules displayed
dawos traffic ratelimit testuser1 10M/50M PASS shaper → 10M/50M
dawos traffic queue testuser1 (verify) TC rules: rate 50Mbit + police 10Mbit
dawos traffic ratelimit-restore testuser1 PASS shaper restored
dawos session list (verify) Rate Limit column empty (cleared)

Session Stats (2/2)

Command Result
dawos session stats Active: 1, Pool used: 0, Pool total: 9
dawos service cmd "show stat" sessions.active: 1, pppoe.active: 1

Output Formats with Live Data (4/4)

Command Result
dawos session list Rich table with Rate Limit column
dawos -j session list Clean JSON array with all hyphenated fields
dawos -F csv session list CSV with rate_limit column populated
dawos session find testuser1 Table with rx_bytes, tx_bytes columns

Edge Cases (4/4)

Command Result Notes
dawos session find nonexistent123 WARNING warning (not error) Correct: no session found
dawos session terminate nonexistent123 -f PASS success message accel-cmd doesn't validate existence
dawos traffic ratelimit nonexistent123 5M/20M 404: No live session Correct rejection
dawos session by-ip 10.99.99.99 Found: false Correct: IP not in use

Design Observations

Observation Detail
by-sid semantics Uses accel-ppp session ID (a35a5ccb37202dbd), NOT calling-sid/MAC — correct behavior, could be clearer in docs
terminate no-op terminate nonexistent returns success — accel-cmd doesn't validate user existence
IP pool count Pool shows total: 9 for range 10.99.0.2-10.99.0.254 (expected: 253) — accel-ppp build-specific behavior
pool_used: 0 Active session uses static IP from chap-secrets, not from pool
YAML fallback -F yaml falls back to JSON when PyYAML not installed in pipx venv

Output Formats

dawos-cli supports multiple output formats via the global -F flag:

Format Flag Use Case
Table (default) -- Human-readable Rich tables
JSON -j or -F json Scripting and piping
CSV -F csv Spreadsheet import
YAML -F yaml Configuration management

Example:

# Rich table (default)
dawos session list

# JSON output for scripting
dawos -j session list

# Pipe JSON to jq
dawos -F json conntrack timeouts | jq '.timeouts.tcp_timeout_established'

Note: The -j/-F flag is a global option and must appear before the subcommand: dawos -j status, not dawos status -j.
