To run the application in linux environment with 4 lcores, 16 ports and 8 RX queues per lcore and MAC address
updating enabled, issue the command:
$ ./build/l2fwd -l 0-3 -n 4 -- -q 8 -p ffff
+To run the application in linux environment with 4 lcores, 4 ports, 8 RX queues
+per lcore, to forward RX traffic of ports 0 & 1 on ports 2 & 3 respectively and
+vice versa, issue the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./build/l2fwd -l 0-3 -n 4 -- -q 8 -p f --portmap="(0,2)(1,3)"

.. code-block:: c
- if (rte_pci_probe() < 0)
- rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot probe PCI\n");
-
/* reset l2fwd_dst_ports */
for (portid = 0; portid < RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS; portid++)
rte_eth_dev_info_get((uint8_t) portid, &dev_info);
}
-Observe that:
-
-* rte_igb_pmd_init_all() simultaneously registers the driver as a PCI driver and as an Ethernet* Poll Mode Driver.
-
-* rte_pci_probe() parses the devices on the PCI bus and initializes recognized devices.
-
The next step is to configure the RX and TX queues.
For each port, there is only one RX queue (only one lcore is able to poll a given port).
The number of TX queues depends on the number of available lcores.
The values n_rx_port and rx_port_list[] are used in the main packet processing loop
(see :ref:`l2_fwd_app_rx_tx_packets`).
-The global configuration for the RX queues is stored in a static structure:
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- static const struct rte_eth_rxconf rx_conf = {
- .rx_thresh = {
- .pthresh = RX_PTHRESH,
- .hthresh = RX_HTHRESH,
- .wthresh = RX_WTHRESH,
- },
- };
-

TX Queue Initialization
/* src addr */
- ether_addr_copy(&l2fwd_ports_eth_addr[dst_port], ð->s_addr);
+ rte_ether_addr_copy(&l2fwd_ports_eth_addr[dst_port], ð->s_addr);
l2fwd_send_packet(m, (uint8_t) dst_port);
}
