Over the last few weeks I was able to understand how to run testpmd, dpdk-pdump, basicfwd. I was able to build DPDK, compile examples and bind the DPDK drivers to NIC interfaces as well using dpdk-setup.sh. I struggle to test DPDK applications as my laptop NIC is not supported by DPDK. Then I used a VMware workstation player where host OS is Windows10 and guest OS is Ubuntu 16.xx. In VM I get e1000 ( Intel Corporation 82540EM) as ethernet controller. I get I/O error when I try to run DPDK applications as there is known limitation on using Intel Corporation 82540EM based on one of the references. Is there way to change e1000-82540EM into other supported NIC in vm player ? I also read about TAP interface. Not sure how to use it. I have done binding NIC with DPDK drivers. But I lack DPDK supported physical NIC. I would like to test sample DPDK applications but not sure to bring right NIC. Would be great if someone provides guidance so that I can run sample application ip-pipeline and modify later for firewall. Thanks, B. Vijayakumar Athithan
