I am using the dpdk1.6.0r1
The rte_kni.lo is loaded:
lsmod | grep kni
rte_kni 279134 1
however, the ifconfig vEth0, and vEth1 does not show link up ?
How do i get the operational state up for these interfaces.
$ sudo tcpdump -i vEth0
tcpdump: vEth0: That device is not up
ifconfig vEth0
vEth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00

These KNI interfaces are created as per dmeg below from the CREATE IOCTL.
sudo ifconfig vEth0 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.0.0

ifconfig vEth0

Trying to set the vEth0 up, looks like it is doing the callback in the dpdk
to the corresponding PMD NIC interface, and not the vEth0 kernel interface.
Thanks,
