Subject: [dpdk-dev] How do you setup a VM in Promiscuous Mode using PCI Pass-Through (SR-IOV)?
Date: Thu, 14 May 2015 21:38:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9478F0FB69DAA249AF0A9BDA1E6ED95218817AB9@US70TWXCHMBA07.zam.alcatel-lucent.com> (raw)

Hello,

My Hardware consists of the following:
  - DL380 Gen 9 Server supporting two Haswell Processors (Xeon CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz)
  - An x540 Ethernet Controller Card supporting 2x10G ports.

Software:
  - CentOS 7 (3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64)
  - DPDK 1.8

I want all the network traffic received on the two 10G ports to be transmitted to my VM. The issue is that the Virtual Function / Physical Functions have setup the internal virtual switch to only route Ethernet packets with destination MAC address matching the VM virtual interface MAC. How can I configure my virtual environment to provide all network traffic to the VM...i.e. set the virtual functions for both PCI devices in Promiscuous mode?

[ If a l2fwd-vf example exists, this would actually solve this problem ... Is there a DPDK l2fwd-vf example available? ]


Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Sami Assaad.
