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

-Navneet

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.
