https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194872 Bug ID: 194872 Summary: [netmap] documentation for bridge/pkt-gen doesn't mention the updated interface format (netmap:X, vale:X) nor how to configure a specific ring Product: Base System Version: 11.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: adrian@freebsd.org Hi, The netmap documentation for pkt-gen and bridge don't include the updated interface requirements. The netmap man page gives an example interface as 'ix0' which doesn't work. It needs to be 'netmap:ix0' . It also doesn't make clear that the way to specify a specific ring here is 'netmap:ix0-ringid'. I think we'd make things a lot easier to get started if the documentation for the netmap interface strings was updated in both the netmap documentation and the example tools. Thanks! -adrian -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
