Kernel NIC Interface Sample Application
=======================================
Kernel NIC Application Packet Flow
-
Compiling the Application
-------------------------
-Compile the application as follows:
-
-#. Go to the example directory:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
- cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/kni
+To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
-#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified)
+The application is located in the ``kni`` sub-directory.
- .. note::
+.. note::
This application is intended as a linuxapp only.
- .. code-block:: console
-
- export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
-
-#. Build the application:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- make
-
Loading the Kernel Module
-------------------------
.. code-block:: console
- ./build/kni -l 4-7 -n 4 -- -P -p 0x3 -config="(0,4,6,8),(1,5,7,9)"
+ ./build/kni -l 4-7 -n 4 -- -P -p 0x3 --config="(0,4,6,8),(1,5,7,9)"
KNI Operations
--------------
#tcpdump -i vEth0_0
+Change the MAC address:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ #ifconfig vEth0_0 hw ether 0C:01:02:03:04:08
+
When the DPDK userspace application is closed, all the KNI devices are deleted from Linux*.
Explanation
conf.addr = dev_info.pci_dev->addr;
conf.id = dev_info.pci_dev->id;
+ /* Get the interface default mac address */
+ rte_eth_macaddr_get(port_id, (struct ether_addr *)&conf.mac_addr);
+
memset(&ops, 0, sizeof(ops));
ops.port_id = port_id;
ops.change_mtu = kni_change_mtu;
ops.config_network_if = kni_config_network_interface;
+ ops.config_mac_address = kni_config_mac_address;
kni = rte_kni_alloc(pktmbuf_pool, &conf, &ops);
} else
To execute specific PMD operations in user space requested by some Linux* commands,
callbacks must be implemented and filled in the struct rte_kni_ops structure.
-Currently, setting a new MTU and configuring the network interface (up/ down) are supported.
+Currently, setting a new MTU, change in MAC address, configuring promiscusous mode and
+configuring the network interface(up/down) re supported.
+Default implementation for following is available in rte_kni library.
+Application may choose to not implement following callbacks:
+
+- ``config_mac_address``
+- ``config_promiscusity``
+

};
/* Callback for request of changing MTU */
