About this task
Procedure
-
Specify the representor range on the first virtual function in the
dpdk-extra OVSDB field as shown in the following example:
# ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-extra=”-n6 \ –vdev=eth_ntnic0,port=0 –vdev=eth_ntnic1,port=1 \ -a 0000:3b:00.4,representor=[5-6],portqueues=[5:2,6:2] \ -a 0000:3b:00.5 -a 0000:3b:00.6”
-
In OVSDB, specify OVS representor virtual ports. You can use the PCI bus ID of the
first virtual function to add a virtual port as shown in the following example:
# ovs_vsctl add-port br0 dpdkvp0 – set interface dpdkvp0 type=dpdk \ options:dpdk-devargs=”0000:3b:00.4,representor=5”
-
Setup an OVS bridge as shown in the following example:
0dd0725f-53fe-45e4-8b96-95d4a2e7a674 Bridge "br0" datapath_type: netdev Port "dpdkvp0" Interface "dpdkvp0" type: dpdk options: {dpdk-devargs="0000:3b:00.4,representor=5"} Port "dpdkvp1" Interface "dpdkvp1" type: dpdk options: {dpdk-devargs="0000:3b:00.4,representor=6"} Port "br0" Interface "br0" type: internal Port "dpdk1" Interface "dpdk1" type: dpdk options: {dpdk-devargs="eth_ntnic1"}
