[dpdk-users] Problems running test-pipeline.

Thanks for the quick response.

The port(s) are physically connected, that is not an issue here.

I have 2 nics and they are connected to each other and when i run testpmd
or l2fwd or l3fwd applications, they work flawlessly.

Pktgen also works without issues and i can generate traffic between the
ports.

The problem appears when i try to run testpipeline, it always prints out
that "Some NIC ports are DOWN" and exits.

Here is an output when i try to run it with links 0 and 1.

$ sudo ./testpipeline -l 1,2,3 -- -p 0x03

Any ideas what's the problem here ? Is there some step i must do before
running the testpipeline ?
