Hi,

We are running the sample DPDK KNI application on a single physical port.
We are able to see the vETH interface getting created via IFCONFIG.
However the vETH interface is DOWN by default despite the physical
interface being UP and RUNNING. Only when we configured IP address via
IFCONFIG, the vETH came UP. Any reason for this ?

Regards,
Ajith
