Installing a Napatech IPU

Install and detect a Napatech IPU using the lspci command.

1. Install a Napatech IPU in a server.
   Refer to this document for information on how to install a Napatech IPU in a server:

   • F207?X IPUs: F207?X Installation in DN-1374
2. Install the PCI utility package if it is not installed.
   For example:

   dnf install pciutils

3. Detect the IPU using lspci.
   A command example with the Napatech vendor ID 18f4.

   lspci -d 18f4:

   An output example on the host:

   17:00.0 Network controller: Napatech A/S Device 0255 (rev 01)

   An output example on the IPU:

   01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Napatech A/S Device 0265 (rev 03)
   15:00.0 Network controller: Napatech A/S Device 0255 (rev 01)

   Two PCIe devices are detected: the first device is for the management port, and the second one is for the FPGA device.

   Note: If the loaded FPGA image is not a Napatech production FPGA image, use the vendor ID corresponding to the specific FPGA image.
