Yes, we configure it with rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl() and with RTE_ETH_FILTER_FDIR filter type. With Chelsio hardware it's possible to match several different filters in the same rule. For e.g., it's possible to set a vlan, ethertype, and n-tuple filters all on the same rule. The generic architecture [1] for flow director can accept these several filters in the same rule and hence the cxgbe flow director can handle these different filters with this generic approach.
