Thanks John.
I am trying to setup/use the flow-director-filter on the i540.
-- When I try to setup the flow-director-filter as per the example, I am
getting "bad arguments"!!!
So decided to see if the flush command would work.
In the interim --- I am using ethertype filter to accomplish the following.
What I am trying to do is this --
Use 2 different i540 cards
Use the igb_uio driver.
Use the testpmd app.
Setup 5 different MAC-ADDRESSes on each port. (using the set mac_addr command)
Setup 5 different RxQs and TxQs on each port.
And then use the testpmd app to generate traffic..
I am assuming that the testpmd app will now send and receive traffic using the
5 different MAC_ADDRESSes..
On each port's receive I will now want to classify on the MAC-ADDRESS and steer
the traffic to different queues.
Is there an example/reference on how to achieve this?
Next, I would want to do "classify" on "flexbytes" and send/steer the traffic
to different queues using flow-director-filter.
Thanks

Hi,
Are you setting a flow director filter before flushing? If so, could you give
an example.
John.
