Hi Anoob and DPDK Dev Team, Please guide us resolve the issue..
While running the ipsec-secgw application the ports are getting down and it is throwing ------>Port Link Down Error We are doing the below steps: Since we don't have IXGBE driver in the virtual machines. we used SRIOV to import the IXGBE NIC's (Virtual function) from host(Physical function). We refered the below link for SRIOV: https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/configure-sr-iov-network-virtual-functions-in-linux-kvm.html This the info after importing IXGBE NIC's into virtual machine: -----------> ip link show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: ens8: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:bd:f7:ce brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: ens9: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:e5:35:b5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: ens12: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:14:ce:7c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: ens13: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:d0:73:4c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 6: ens3: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 96:42:49:cd:9c:61 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 7: ens11: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 3e:f5:92:ef:9e:16 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 8: ens10: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:51:ee:74 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 9: ens14: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:da:08:cb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 10: ens15: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:31:7c:6f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ------>While we are running the ipsec-secgw application.
