Hi Sankalpa, Have you enabled SRIOV and switchdev mode correctly? Is there any error in demsg? Here is the regular steps: 1. enable sriov - new VF ports shown in `ip link` 2. unbind VFs - new VF ports disappear 3. enable switchdev mode - new representor ports shown in `ip link` 4. bind VFs again or passthrough to VM
