[dpdk-dev] working example commands for ethertype/flow_director_filter ?

[Navneet Rao]

Hello:

 

If anybody has any working example commands for ethertype or flow_director_filter,  can you please send it across..

I am using the testpmd app, and it is constantly reporting "bad-arguments" even for the legal commands in the doc!!!

 

Thanks

testpmd>  mac_addr add 0 00:10:E0:3B:3B:50

testpmd> set promisc all on

testpmd>  ethertype_filter 0 add mac_addr 00:10:E0:3B:3B:50  ethertype 0x0806 fwd queue 1

ethertype filter programming error: (Invalid argument)

testpmd>  ethertype_filter 0 add mac_addr 00:10:E0:3B:3B:50 ethertype 0x0806 fwd queue 1

ethertype filter programming error: (Invalid argument)

testpmd>  ethertype_filter 0 add mac_ignr ethertype 0x0806 fwd queue 1

Bad arguments

 

 

Has anyone been able to get this to work!!!

All I want to is steer the traffic on port0 to go to some other queue (instead of default 0)

 

And I want to filter on the mac_address.so using the ethertype_filter.

 

Thanks

Hi,

If you use "help filters", you can probably get the command format like:

ethertype_filter (port_id) (add|del) (mac_addr|mac_ignr) (mac_address) ethertype (ether_type) (drop|fwd) queue (queue_id)
   Add/Del an ethertype filter.

[Wu, Jingjing] above error raised may because the NIC you using does not support ethertype_filter with mac.

[Wu, Jingjing] I think command like "ethertype_filter 0 add mac_ignr 00:10:E0:3B:3B:50 ethertype 0x0806 fwd queue 1" may work.
