Hi Team,
I did some test today for "trusted off" vfNIC.
We use to enable (multi-unicast) promiscuous mode for vfNIC---it has no use if the vfNIC is not in trusted (super user) mode. But it masks out secondary mac address addition.
IF I turn off promiscuous mode for vfNCI, adding secondary mac then works.
+#if 1
+ struct rte_ether_addr addr = { .addr_bytes = "\x33\x33\xff\x00\x00\x01",}; <==when set this
+ rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_add(portid, &addr, 0);
+#else
+
rte_eth_promiscuous_enable(portid); <====we need to avoid this
Best,
Liwu
