It works for me although I am on ubuntu 1804 VM. Your statement is unclear to me if your problem is strictly related to more than 4 rx-queues or not when you say “but when i try to associate more than 4 num-rx-queues i get error”
Does it work fine when you reduce the number of rx-queues less than 4? vpp# create interface vmxnet3 0000:13:00.0 rx-queue-size 2048 tx-queue-size 2048 num-tx-queues 2 num-rx-queues 4 create interface vmxnet3 0000:13:00.0 rx-queue-size 2048 tx-queue-size 2048 num-tx-queues 2 num-rx-queues 4 vpp# sh int sh int Name Idx State MTU (L3/IP4/IP6/MPLS) Counter Count local0 0 down 0/0/0/0 vmxnet3-0/13/0/0 1 down 9000/0/0/0 vpp# set interface state vmxnet3-0/13/0/0 up set interface state vmxnet3-0/13/0/0 up vpp# sh int sh int Name Idx State MTU (L3/IP4/IP6/MPLS) Counter Count local0 0 down 0/0/0/0 vmxnet3-0/13/0/0 1 up 9000/0/0/0 rx packets 2 rx bytes 120 drops 2 ip4 2 vpp# $ $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
