vRouer w/DPDK and Mellanox NIC

[nirhenn]

Hi All,

I am trying to setup vRouter w/DPDK and ConnectX-3-Pro. Is there any documentation how to?

The problem is that I cannot bring vif to recognize the DPPK enabled interface. The current state is that install script identifies correctly and interface is binded to the DPDK.

root@Setup-H-C0:/opt/contrail/bin# ./dpdk_nic_bind.py -s

Since OFED + PMD drivers are taking over it is not in control of the OS any more and does not show up in ifconfig.
