[dpdk-users] dpdk-pdump fails to initialize mysteriously

[Daniel Shelepov]

Hi Rami,

That was indeed the issue.  Looking back at the packet capture documentation, I can see that this step is explicitly mentioned.  I must have done it when configuring my previous working setup, but failed to record it in my notes here.

Thanks for the pointer!

Daniel

Hi, Daniel,

The error that you get, "Failed to parse device "net_pcap_rx_0", hints that DPDK was built without PCAP support on your setup.

What does
"cat build/.config | grep CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_PCAP" show ?
if it is "n", can you please set it to "y", then build DPDK and try again?

Regards,
Rami Rosen
