Summary:
Clear stale neighbor entries from both ToRs on dualtor testbed between tests.

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • Testbed and Framework(new/improvement)
  • Test case(new/improvement)

Approach

What is the motivation for this PR?

Nightly test on dualtor testbed fails after a few testcases because one ToR would becomes intermittently unreachable due to kernel arp entries overflow.

How did you do it?

dualtor testbeds have both tors learning same arp entries from any server at the same time. But tests currently only know how to cleanup arp on the dut chosen to run test.

So the standby dut will accumulate the arp entries in kernel until kernel start to barf.

This change temporarily mitigates the issue by flush out IPv4/IPv6 static arp entries after each test module.

How did you verify/test it?

Nightly test resumed to normal passing rate with the change, and tors stayed healthy.

dualtor testbeds have both tors learning same arp entries from any
server at the same time. But tests currently only know how to cleanup
arp on the dut chosen to run test.

after each test module.
