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 transmit=
ted to my VM. The issue is that the Virtual Function / Physical Functions h=
ave setup the internal virtual switch to only route Ethernet packets with d=
estination MAC address matching the VM virtual interface MAC. How can I con=
figure 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.
