[ovs-discuss] OVS 2.4 with DPDK 2.0

[A, Sarada (HP Networking)]

Thanks Cascadro. I could successfully add the dpdk0 port to the bridge. Need further help .

In my case, eth1 interface is in 192.11.0.0/16 subnet & I configured the eth1 as dpdk interface

	$DPDK_DIR/tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py  --force --bind=igb_uio eth1

After this, I added the dpdk port with the command provided & I could see that the port successfully got added.

I have configured the ip address in the same subnet to  br0  & made it up. But I cant reach the other devices which are part of 192.11.0.0/16 subnet.  Whenever I tried to ping any device in this subnet, the default NORMAL flow is hit but the ping fails for the device.

Is there something wrong I am doing?

You didn't seem to have added any port to the bridge. Try the following command.
It is described at INSTALL.DPDK.md. Also, I guess you may need to restart ovs-vswitchd after you bind ports to igb_uio, vfio or other drivers DPDK supports.

   ovs-vsctl add-port br0 dpdk0 -- set Interface dpdk0 type=dpdk
