Was there a reason to not add a verify option to this method? It seems
like it could be useful, and the general pattern with testpmd methods
so far is verifying the outcome wherever we can.

Is there any value in allowing users to set either Rx or Tx rather
than enforcing they change both? I guess I can't think of a specific
reason to do one and not the other off the top of my head, but it
seems like the option could be useful.

I might be more in favor of this being an
InteractiveCommandExecutionError or some other DTSError just to have a
little more control over the error codes and to make it more clear
that the error came specifically from the framework.
