Hello:
How can I configure my NIC setting(s) when loaded with the dpdk:igb_uio driver?
E.g I need to keep the MAC address and the IP address of the NIC the "same as before" after switching to a dpdk:igb_uio driver for the NIC.
Is there a equiv of "ifconfig" utility in dpdk?
How do I address the NIC? I can only view the status using the dpdk_nic_bind.py!!!
Thanks

When you bind to igb_uio the NIC is "disconnected" from the kernel.
Therefore ifconfig won't work. DPDK applications can configure the PHY
and other parameters via DPDK APIs:
http://dpdk.org/doc/api/
and act as IP endpoints.
