[dpdk-dev] [dpdk-users] is i40evf support promisc? // DPDK 20.11 - i40evf: No response for 14

[liaobiting]

I do enable the VF as trusted before assigning the NIC to the OVS switch. 
And we are about to release our commercial version with this feature, would you please to help me with this problem as soon as possible? 

Thank you,
Liao

According to the README at
https://downloadmirror.intel.com/28381/eng/readme.txt you need to enable a VF as trusted for promiscuous mode.  Looks like this:

# ip link set dev eth0 vf 1 trust [on|off]

Did you enable the VF as trusted before assigning the NIC to the OVS switch?
