Hello,
I am trying to use the x710 MAC/VLAN filtering option to steer packets to receive queues based on strict MAC address match.
I need to filter and steer around 100 MAC addresses to 8 receive queues. Because of the development environment constraints I cannot use
SRIOV, IOV, VEB or flex partitioning.
My configuration is as follows:
Default simple switch configuration
One PF and one VSI with 8 queues
RSS, Ether type and Flow director filters are disabled and MAC/VLAN filter is enabled.
I am setting toQueue flag to steer packets to the appropriate queue.
However I don't see packets getting steered to the desired queue. Packet steering is not happening and packets always land on the same queue.
Do I need to configure the switch with "Set Switch" command to get filtering work as described above?
How do I initialize the VSI to support the above flow.
Are there any other other configuration settings that need to be done to get the packets steered as described above?
Thanks,
Sony
