Subject: [dpdk-users] How to set fixed link speed on i40e port?
Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2018 15:43:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAH68JwUWaT+OPvL+VPZVAKBWe+jZYu8ror5e-6BkRPBBLeogfA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,


I am trying to set the speed on an i40e port to 1G that only supports 1G to
10G.

However, after stopping, configuring and starting the port, it always
auto-negotiates with the upstream switch to the higher rate (10G).

I tried this to disable auto-negotiation and set a fixed speed:



rte_eth_config.link_speeds = ETH_LINK_SPEED_FIXED | ETH_LINK_SPEED_1G;


However, I received the following error:


i40e_dev_start(): Invalid link_speeds for port 0; autonegotiation disabled


I was able to set it to 1G via the kernel driver by disable auto-neg as
such:



# ethtool -s nic2_0 autoneg off advertise 0x020



It’s not clear how to do this with the DPDK API.

Any thoughts, guidance appreciated.



Thanks,
