[dpdk-users] OVS-DPDK - TAP0 - vdev (af_packet) device is linkdown

[Avi Cohen (A)]

Hello All,

I did upgrade to dpdk-17.05 and ovs-2-7.1 and create a vdev - af_packet device according the config script below 
This tap device connects the ovs-dpdk to a name space
The problem is that this tap00 device is linkdown - (never reach  RUNNING state )  - hence no pkt is received transmitted on this interface  although the tap0 creation in ovs is OK, 
I'm attaching  the config script and output of netstat and ifconfig in the namespace
Can someone please tell me how to activate the tap0 ?

Config script :


cd ../dpdk-17.05/usertools/
modprobe uio
insmod ../x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko
ifconfig ens3 down

./dpdk-devbind.py --bind=igb_uio 0000:00:03.0 ./dpdk-devbind.py --status

cd -
