Hello, I'm using DPDK-stable-16.11.2 release on a CentOS7 VM running on my laptop (Windows7). CentOS is started using VMPlayer.
I have created two network interfaces under CentOS7 to try out DPDK using Player->Manage->Virtual-Settings->Network-Adapter-> "Host only"... Now, under Centos I see both these interfaces are using e1000 driver (checked using ethtool). Starting the forwarding app, I get the following error: ============================================================== ... --no-huge -- --MAC-PORT 00:0c:29:23:be:d6 --MAC-PORT 00:0c:29:23:be:d6 EAL: Detected 4 lcore(s) EAL: Probing VFIO support... EAL: PCI device 0000:02:01.0 on NUMA socket -1 EAL: probe driver: 8086:100f net_e1000_em EAL: PCI device 0000:02:05.0 on NUMA socket -1 EAL: probe driver: 8086:100f net_e1000_em EAL: PCI device 0000:02:06.0 on NUMA socket -1 EAL: probe driver: 8086:100f net_e1000_em nb_ports = 0 ================================================ Is there a particular I need to enable to let DPDK detect these interfaces? I tried "ixgbe" and "igb_uio" but got the following error: [root@localhost tools]# ./dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 02:05.0 Warning - no supported modules(DPDK driver) are loaded Routing table indicates that interface 0000:02:05.0 is active. Not modifying Any ideas? I'm new to this. Thanks a lot!
