[dpdk-users] Running l2fwd-crypto as a secondary process

[Aditya Dhakal]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to run l2fwd-crypto example as a secondary process in DPDK
16.07 and I am using Null cipher for testing proposes.

However, while trying to run the l2fwd-crypto with following command line
options I get errors below:

./l2fwd-crypto -l 6,7 --proc-type=secondary --vdev "cryptodev_null_pmd" --
-r 1 --cipher_op ENCRYPT --cipher_algo NULL --auth_algo NULL

Does secondary process have restrictions on initializing pmd devices?

Thank you,
