Hi Stephen ,
Thanks for your suggestions.I am able to resolve --vdev error however I am
having another issue related to buffer.
.*/dpdk-l3fwd -c f -n 4 --vdev=net_tap3 -- -p 0x3
--config="(0,0,1),(0,1,2)"*
EAL: Detected CPU lcores: 8
EAL: Detected NUMA nodes: 1
EAL: Detected static linkage of DPDK
EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/dpdk/rte/mp_socket

EAL: VFIO support initialized

*iavf_dev_init_vlan(): Failed to update vlan offloadiavf_dev_configure():
configure VLAN failed: -95EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1 Cause: Cannot
init mbuf pool on socket 0*
Do I need to update any parameters?
Do I need to add a routing rule parameter?
Any help /pointers will be really appreciated.
FYI. I just want to testL3 forwarding via DPDK using the Tap interface The
flow is :
On Vm1 .*/dpdk-l3fwd will create a Tap interface and then I will link this
interface with a network namespace and then ping a destination address via
the DPDK application running on VM1 and get captured on DPDK application
running on another VM2 and I am stuck with creation Tap interface on VM1
via * .
*/dpdk-l3fwd.*

Dinesh Kumar
