Padam,
As far as I know, this feature works. What DPDK version did you use? Is there
any port reconfiguration (stop/start/mtu change, etc) that could lose your vlan
offload settings (a dump of the port config at runtime will be able to confirm
this)? Can you also post a snippet of packet capture of the vlan traffic
received?

Hi,
When configuring the vmxnet3 based ethernet device, the RX VLAN Strip
offload does not work as it usually does with other real NICs which support
this function.
When configuring with rxmode.hw_vlan_strip = 1, the ipackets statistic does
not increase when a VLAN ether type frame is received on the port and it is
also not received on queue RX.
However, when configuring rxmode.hw_vlan_strip = 0 ,the ipackets statistic
increases as well as frames arrives with VLAN header.
Though calling rte_eth_dev_set_vlan_offload(port, ETH_VLAN_STRIP_OFFLOAD)
returns a success, however VLAN stripping on RX does not work.
TX VLAN INSERT offload on the other hand works just fine.
Is this a bug in vmxnet3 driver of dpdk?
Thanks,
Padam
