Hi All, I'm now trying to use simple L2 function with "Generic Flow API (rte_flow)" using testpmd in dpdk-17.02, but it doesn't work with the error below.
----------- $sudo ./dpdk-17.02/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -l 0-3 -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0x3 --nb-cores=2 testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / eth dst is a0:36:9f:78:30:26 / end actions drop / end Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): cause: 0x7ffd225adc88, Not supported by L2 tunnel filter testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / eth dst is a0:36:9f:78:30:26 / end actions queue index 0 / end Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): cause: 0x7ffd225adc88, Not supported by L2 tunnel filter ----------- I tried several other flows and got the same error. I'm using Intel X552 NIC. The firmware-version is 0x800003e7. ----------- $ sudo ethtool -i rename6 driver: ixgbe version: 5.0.4 firmware-version: 0x800003e7 expansion-rom-version: bus-info: 0000:03:00.0 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: yes supports-eeprom-access: yes supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: no ----------- My question is, am I missing some additional settings to do ? Should I use another firmware version ? # DPDK 17.02 official release note says the tested firmware version was 0x800001cf. # My version, 0x800003e7 is newer, isn't it? I don't think the NIC does't support such simple L2 functions. But if it doesn't, are there any documents that tell us which NIC supports which flow rules in rte_flow? Could you tell me what flows I can try with Intel X552 NIC? Thank you and best regards, Tetsuro Nakamura, NTT
