Hi, We had a license for pf_ring which we were using purely with pf_send on one box with an intel 82599 NIC. It’s been fine for a few years of happy use now, until…
Unfortunately, the box was upgraded by a colleague and thus the kernel is now 4.4.0-34. So, I re-synchronized using “git clone https://github.com/ntop/PF_RING.git” and then made and loaded the kernel and ixgbe drivers again. Everything installs OK but now when I run pfsend I get: root@boris:/etc/pf_ring# /./PF_RING/userland/examples/pfsend -i zc:eth1 -f /packets -n 0 Sending packets on zc:eth1 ######################################################################### # ERROR: You do not seem to have a valid PF_RING ZC license 6.5.0.160818 for eth1 [Intel 10 Gbit ixgbe 82599-based] # ERROR: Please get one at http://shop.ntop.org/. ######################################################################### # We're now working in demo mode with packet capture and # transmission limited to 5 minutes ######################################################################### Using PF_RING v.6.5.0 Read 32 packets from pcap file /packets Dumping statistics on /proc/net/pf_ring/stats/3816-eth1.4 TX rate: [current 14'220'402.89 pps/9.89 Gbps][average 14'220'402.89 pps/9.89 Gbps][total 14'220'474.00 pkts] TX rate: [current 14'377'591.14 pps/10.00 Gbps][average 14'298'998.47 pps/9.94 Gbps][total 28'598'669.00 pkts] I’ve checked and the license is in /etc/pf_ring/<MAC> correctly (it wasn’t touched during the kernel upgrade). So…. what did I do wrong?
