[dpdk-dev] VF default MAC change

[Zhang, Helin]

Garik

Currently the permanent mac address of VF should be configured from host side.
If you are using Linux kernel driver as the host driver. 'ip link set' is the 
right way to do that.

Helin

Hello,

I'm looking for API to update default VF MAC address during DPDK port 
initialization.
The API should replace shell command  `ip link set  vf  mac '
Target controllers are Intel 10G, Intel 40G
[Wenzhuo] I think you?re looking for this one, 
rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set. But it?s not supported by all the NICs. 
Talking about VF, only igb and ixgbe support it.

Thank you.
