This table
shows the FPGA image numbers for Link-Security™ Software.
| Hardware | Port speed | FPGA image type | FPGA image number |
|---|---|---|---|
| F2070X | 2 × 100 Gbit/s | ASAF | 7102 |
The compiled FPGA images are included in the following directory of the Link-Security™ Software package.
<package_root_directory>/images/where package_root_directory is the directory to the unpacked Link-Security™ Software package.
To program the IPU with one of these FPGA images, see Updating the FPGA of Napatech IPUs.
Blacklisting virtio_blk
The virtio_blk module must not be loaded before the IPU is
configured to run correctly. The following command prevents the OS from loading
virtio_blk on
boot.
host# echo "blacklist virtio-blk" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-virtioblk-smartnic.confIf it is not blacklisted, the server may fail to boot before the IPU is properly configured to run all PVFs. This configuration is persistent across system restarts.
