Query Mode

Description

Inquiring the system for information about NT SmartNICs is a passive probing of FPGA and firmware version as well as flash bank information. It does not alter the state of any SmartNICs.

The output from a --query -vv command (see Syntax for the imgctrl Tool) is useful information for Napatech support personnel in assisting with any troubles you may encounter. -vv displays an output containing more detailed information.

The --query command can also be executed with a --brief argument which condenses the SmartNIC information to a one-line version.

This information provides the version of the currently running FPGA on each SmartNIC. SmartNIC 0, for example, is a PCI Express Gen3 2 × 100 Gbit/s SmartNIC running FPGA 9516 version 9.08. The primary bank for SmartNIC 0 is bank 0, and no switch event is currently pending, since the SmartNIC is in the NEUTRAL state (see NEUTRAL state). This means that on the next reboot or power cycle, bank 0 continues to be the primary bank.

Note: This SmartNIC supports PCIe bifurcation with 2 × 8-lanes PCIe device endpoints. Furthermore, the SmartNIC supports two different FPGA images, the capture/replay image 9516 in FPGA bank 0 and the capture image 9515 in FPGA bank 1.
