[dpdk-dev] testpmd: not seeing any traffic on 1g (pair) or 10g pair

[dpdk-dev] testpmd: not seeing any traffic on 1g (pair) or 10g pair

[Al Patel]

Hi,

I am doing a basic test with testpmd per the getting started page.
I connected two 1g in back to back mode and executed:

 sudo ./build/app/testpmd -c 0xF -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0x2 --nb-cores=2

start (and start tx_first)
stop

I see 0 counters for rx/tx.

I removed the two 1g from uio driver and added two 10g 82599EB and
reran the test - still 0 traffic.

Wondering where to debug.
thx

Re: [dpdk-dev] testpmd: not seeing any traffic on 1g (pair) or 10g pair

[Zhou, Danny]

The .log below shows your two 10G ports link are up. 

Which CPU are you using now and how many processor sockets do you have? If you used a platform with two processor sockets, make sure to use correct core mask to specify cores rx/tx packets from 10G NIC connecting to local socket. For you case, make sure 10G NIC with BNF 0e:00.0/0e:00.1 connects to CPU socket No.0(as you used -c 0xF to use core 0 to 3 on socket No.0), otherwise you have to change the core mask in the command line to use logical cores on socket No.1.

Re: [dpdk-dev] testpmd: not seeing any traffic on 1g (pair) or 10g pair

[Zhang, Jerry]

Hi,

Make sure to add iommu=pt inte_iommu=on to kernel parameters if VT-d is enabled. 
Otherwise, the PF may not work well with igb_uio because of DMAR.

Please also refer to the comments in the DPDK getting started guide.

In addition, to run the Intel® DPDK with Intel® VT-d, the iommu=pt kernel parameter 
must be used when using igb_uio driver. This results in pass-through of the DMAR 
(DMA Remapping) lookup in the host. Also, if INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON is not set 
in the kernel, the intel_iommu=on kernel parameter must be used too. This ensures 
that the Intel IOMMU is being initialized as expected.

The .log below shows your two 10G ports link are up. 

Which CPU are you using now and how many processor sockets do you have? If you used a platform with two processor sockets, make sure to use correct core mask to specify cores rx/tx packets from 10G NIC connecting to local socket. For you case, make sure 10G NIC with BNF 0e:00.0/0e:00.1 connects to CPU socket No.0(as you used -c 0xF to use core 0 to 3 on socket No.0), otherwise you have to change the core mask in the command line to use logical cores on socket No.1.
