The source of my problem seems to be that Ethtool is not supported in VMs (VF).
Is there another solution to give an ip to a dpdk port? -----Original Message----- From: dev [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Yaron Illouz Sent: Monday, March 23, 2015 2:08 PM To: dev at dpdk.org; dev Subject: [dpdk-dev] dpdk kni ping answer Hi I want to give an ip to a dpdk port, because I need to receive traffic by gre replication. I though I could do it with dpdk kni (http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/prog_guide/kernel_nic_interface.html) I am able to give an ip to interface vEth0, but I can't ping or ssh to the ip address. I set the ip with the following command: ifconfig vEth0 192.168.69.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 up Is this something possible to do with dpdk kni? If not, what could be another solution for this.
