Subject: Re: [dpdk-users] [dpdk-dev] testpmd / SR-IOV RX packets, but TX-errors
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2019 08:33:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAO8xzOsL0rTrawV=E20UnbEiO=C0b2br1Aobn7bOuTbRYDXQWw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAO8xzOsSTdZCEkOEGXX3QEw8L6uO3YUYVw+zZtA4da73hGBP1A@mail.gmail.com>

Solved... had to disable spoof checking:

ip link set p7p1 vf 0 spoofchk off
ip link set p7p2 vf 0 spoofchk off

Thank you!
