Hi Patrick for l3fwd you need also set the destination mac address to the receive port mac address on DUT(which run l3fwd) Please refer the attachment. thanks -----Original Message----- From: dev [mailto:dev-bounces@dpdk.org] On Behalf Of Patrick Mahan Sent: Friday, June 14, 2013 1:10 PM To: dev@dpdk.org Subject: [dpdk-dev] l3fwd doesn't seem to work All, I am trying to run l3fwd example. The system is a single chip E5-2690 (8 core) with 64 GB of DDR3 memory and a 82599 2 port NIC connected to an Ixia traffic generator. I have successfully run test, testpmd and l2fwd. Both testpmd and l2fwd seem to work as documented. However, l3fwd doesn't seem to be working. I made two changes in the code: 1. I changed the hard-coded config to the following {0, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 1}, {0, 2, 2}, {0, 3, 3}, {1, 0, 4}, {1, 1, 5}, {1, 2, 6}, {1, 3, 7} 2. I change the hardcoded LPM routes to the following: {IPv4(192,168,10,0), 24, 0}, {IPv4(192,168,11,0), 24, 0}, {IPv4(192,168,12,0), 24, 0}, {IPv4(192,168,13,0), 24, 0}, {IPv4(192,168,14,0), 24, 0}, {IPv4(192,168,15,0), 24, 0}, {IPv4(192,168,16,0), 24, 0}, {IPv4(192,168,17,0), 24, 0}, {IPv4(192,168,18,0), 24, 0}, {IPv4(192,168,19,0), 24, 0}, {IPv4(192,168,20,0), 24, 1}, {IPv4(192,168,21,0), 24, 1}, {IPv4(192,168,22,0), 24, 1}, {IPv4(192,168,23,0), 24, 1}, {IPv4(192,168,24,0), 24, 1}, {IPv4(192,168,25,0), 24, 1}, {IPv4(192,168,26,0), 24, 1}, {IPv4(192,168,27,0), 24, 1}, {IPv4(192,168,28,0), 24, 1}, {IPv4(192,168,29,0), 24, 1}, The Ixia is setup to generate packets varying from 192.168.20.1-192.168.29.256 to port 0 and 192.168.10.1-192.168.19.256 to port 1. I started the l3fwd with the following command: sudo ./build/l3fwd -b 0000:06:00.0 -b 0000:06:00.1 -c ff -n 3 -- -p 3 Ports 06:00.0 and 06:00.1 are the Intel i350 ports on the motherboard. If I understand the code, this should setup 4 lcores listening for packets on port 0 using 4 queues, and 4 lcores listening for packets on port 1 using 4 queues. The l3pwd example starts up (see the output below) but just sits there and no traffic is routed. I even put in a timeout count to print the interface stats (using rte_eth_stats_get()) to see if there was some issue at play. The reads always return 0 (polling) and it is as if no packets are seen on the interface. When I run testpmd or l2pmd with the same packet stream, I see packets going through. Any ideas what is up? Did I mis-configure something?
