Hi , I have attached 2 ports to dpdk, and i tried -p 0x3 as well.
I have noticed that the ports are not showing the "Active" status, is that an issue? Below is the output from dpdk-status pragash@revvit:~/dpdk-stable-17.05.2/usertools$ dpdk-devbind --status Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver ============================================ 0000:02:00.0 'Ethernet Controller XL710 for 40GbE QSFP+ 1583' drv=uio_pci_generic unused= 0000:04:00.0 'Ethernet Controller XL710 for 40GbE QSFP+ 1583' drv=uio_pci_generic unused= Network devices using kernel driver =================================== 0000:02:00.1 'Ethernet Controller XL710 for 40GbE QSFP+ 1583' if=eth12 drv=i40e unused=uio_pci_generic 0000:04:00.1 'Ethernet Controller XL710 for 40GbE QSFP+ 1583' if=eth10 drv=i40e unused=uio_pci_generic 0000:08:00.0 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection 1521' if=eth0 drv=igb unused=uio_pci_generic *Active* 0000:08:00.1 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection 1521' if=eth2 drv=igb unused=uio_pci_generic Thanks, Pragash Vijayaragavan Grad Student at Rochester Institute of Technology email : pxv3...@rit.edu ph : 585 764 4662 On Fri, Dec 8, 2017 at 7:11 AM, Hristo.Trifonov <hristo.trifo...@ul.ie> wrote: > Hi Pragash, > > How many ports are assigned to dpdk? > Why is there only 1 port in the portmask (-p 0x1)? > > Dpdk would typically use pair(s) of ports. > First port(0x1) in the portmask(0x3) is usually ingress traffic and the > second port(0x2) of the pair is the egress traffic. > Try with -p 0x3 portmask but make sure you have at least 2 ports already > assigned for use with a dpdk app. > If you have more than 2 ports adjust the portmask hex number to reflect > the situation. > > Hristo T. >
