Hi,

When configuring the vmxnet3 based ethernet device, the RX VLAN Strip =
offload does not work as it usually does with other real NICs which =
support this function.

When configuring with rxmode.hw_vlan_strip =3D 1, the ipackets statistic =
does not increase when a VLAN ether type frame is received on the port =
and it is also not received on queue RX.
However, when configuring rxmode.hw_vlan_strip =3D 0 ,the ipackets =
statistic increases as well as frames arrives with VLAN header.

Though calling  rte_eth_dev_set_vlan_offload(port, =
ETH_VLAN_STRIP_OFFLOAD) returns a success, however VLAN stripping on RX =
does not work.

TX VLAN INSERT offload on the other hand works just fine.

Is this a bug in vmxnet3 driver of dpdk?

Thanks,
Padam=
