Hi Alfredo

Thank you for your prompt response. We will look into examples you have 
mentioned.
We were using instructions from: 
http://www.ntop.org/products/pf_ring/hardware-packet-filtering/
Are there any updated instructions we could use?

Best regards,
Katarina Valent

Hi

Until now, we have used PF_RING TNAPI for packet filtering on Intel 1G card so 
we are familiar with PF_RING. We are now working on a project that requires 
hardware filtering on 82599 Intel network card using PF_RING.
We have recently purchased PF_RING ZC license for 10 Gbit adapters
Steps we have done:
-          Downloaded downloaded PF_RING-6.0.2.tar.gz
-          Compiled PF_RING and drivers from PF_RING-6.0.2
-          purchased PF_RING ZC license for 10 Gbit adapters (order 1416498630)
-          downloaded 
http://www.nmon.net/packages/debian/7.6/all/PF_RING-dkms/pfring-dkms_6.0.3_all.deb
 and installed it
-          activated licence per instructions
-          insmoding pf_ring and ixgbe.ko driver using script in attachment 
(script is located in 
/opt/PF_RING-6.0.2/drivers/PF_RING_aware/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe-3.21.2-zc/src)

Problems we have:
-          we don't seem to get file in cat /proc/net/pf_ring/dev/eth2/rules 
where rules for hardware filtering can be set.

/proc is deprecated, you should add/remove rules using the API.
Please take a look at the examples in PF_RING/userland/{examples,examples_zc}, 
for instance ./zcount -h | grep "\-R"


-          Insmod ixgbe.ko with parameter FdirMode=2,2,2,2 returns: Error: 
could not insert module ixgbe.ko: Unknown symbol in module

FdirMode is deprecated, actually it is not present in the enclosed script.


-          In dmesg after using load_driver_“.sh script we do not get line: 
ixgbe: 0000:02:00.0: ixgbe_check_options: Flow Director perfect filtering 
enabled

You should not expect this message in latest driver.


I have attached output from dmesg after using script load_driver_2.sh

Can you help us determine what are we doing wrong?

Thank you in advance,
Katarina Valent

Best Regards
Alfredo
