Subject: Support for Forcing Speed/Duplex/Autoneg on i225 with DPDK igc Driver
Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2025 10:00:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <MR1P264MB3329D2F7D0535F5CD053EFA89226A@MR1P264MB3329.FRAP264.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)

Hi all,
I'm trying to configure Layer 1 attributes (speed, duplex, and autonegotiation) for Intel i225 interfaces in both kernel and DPDK modes, and I've run into some issues.
In kernel driver mode, I normally use: "ethtool -s eth5 speed 100 duplex half autoneg off".
However, this results in the kernel message: "igc 0000:04:00.0 eth5: Force mode currently not supported".
When the interface is bound to DPDK and connected to an OVS bridge, I configure it like this:
ovs-vsctl set Interface 1.extra2 \
type=dpdk \
options:dpdk-devargs=0000:04:00.0 \
options:dpdk-speed=100 \
options:dpdk-autoneg=false \
options:dpdk-duplex=half
This should pass the speed/autoneg/duplex settings to the igc DPDK driver via devargs.
However, it appears these options are not applied - the interface continues to negotiate its settings as usual, and I can't find any code in the igc DPDK driver that processes these devargs parameters.
Is support for forced speed/duplex/autoneg available at all for i225 in DPDK (or even kernel) mode? Or is this a hardware limitation?
Any insight, documentation pointers, or confirmation of support status especially in case of DPDK mode would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
