Hi All I have an Intel 82599 with VFs created using Kernel Driver. Two of the VFs are bound to DPDK Driver.
I'm trying to enable multicast for both VFs with testpmd app but it doesn't work. Output below: testpmd> show port info 0 ********************* Infos for port 0 ********************* MAC address: 02:09:C0:5C:65:18 Connect to socket: 0 memory allocation on the socket: 0 Link status: up Link speed: 100 Mbps Link duplex: half-duplex Promiscuous mode: disabled Allmulticast mode: disabled Maximum number of MAC addresses: 128 Maximum number of MAC addresses of hash filtering: 4096 VLAN offload: strip on filter on qinq(extend) off testpmd> testpmd> testpmd> testpmd> set allmulti 0 on testpmd> testpmd> testpmd> show port info 0 ********************* Infos for port 0 ********************* MAC address: 02:09:C0:5C:65:18 Connect to socket: 0 memory allocation on the socket: 0 Link status: up Link speed: 100 Mbps Link duplex: half-duplex Promiscuous mode: disabled Allmulticast mode: disabled Maximum number of MAC addresses: 128 Maximum number of MAC addresses of hash filtering: 4096 VLAN offload: strip on filter on qinq(extend) off testpmd> I also tried to bind VFs to VFIO driver but this also doesn't work. So my question is: is it possible to set multicast for VF. If yes then why testpmd is unable to set it Setup: HP Dl380p, Ubuntu 14, Intel 82599 Thanks Tomasz
