Re: [dpdk-users] IPSEC-SECGW sample application

Thank you Sandesh
I'm trying to run the l2fwd-crypto sample app.  but  got this error msg :
"No crypto devices available
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
 Cause: Failed to initialize crypto devices"

My setup include 2 physical ports (intel x540)  bound to dpdk - these Nics are ipsec offload capable.

The cmd-line I use is:
./l2fwd-crypto -l 0-1 -n 4 -- -p 0x3 --cdev_type HW --chain CIPHER_HASH --cipher_op ENCRYPT --cipher_algo aes-cbc --cipher_key 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f --auth_op GENERATE --auth_algo aes-xcbc-mac --auth_key 10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:1a:1b:1c:1d:1e:1f

Best Regards
Avi
