Hi John et al: I am using the X540, and setting it up to receive UDP traffic. Want to use the flow-director filter, to steer packets to different receive queues.
Using the testpmd app, I am running into the following error -- testpmd> flow_director_filter 0 add flow ipv4-udp src 192.168.10.100 dst 192.168.10.101 vlan 0x1 flexbytes (0x88,0x48) fwd queue 1 fd_id 1 flow director programming error: (Operation not supported) testpmd> flush_flow_director 0 PMD: ixgbe_reinit_fdir_tables_82599(): ixgbe_reinit_fdir_tables_82599 PMD: ixgbe_reinit_fdir_tables_82599(): Flow Director Signature poll time exceeded! PMD: ixgbe_fdir_flush(): Failed to re-initialize FD table. flow director table flushing error: (Too many open files in system) Any ideas what am I missing? And also, why is there is a reference to 82599 function here? -----Original Message----- From: Navneet Rao Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2015 5:35 PM To: De Lara Guarch, Pablo; Wu, Jingjing; Mcnamara, John; dev at dpdk.org Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] flow_director_filter error!!

It misses the MAC address, after mac_ignr. So it should be: ethertype_filter 0 add mac_ignr 00:11:22:33:44:55 ethertype 0x0806 fwd queue 1 Regards, Pablo > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Wu, Jingjing [mailto:jingjing.wu at intel.com] > Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2015 6:55 AM > To: Navneet Rao; Mcnamara, John; HYPERLINK "mailto:dev at dpdk.org" > HYPERLINK "mailto:dev at dpdk.org" dev at dpdk.org > Subject: RE: [dpdk-dev] flow_director_filter error!! > > Hi, Navneet > > I'm sorry for I have no idea about the NIC i540.
