Installation of Kernel Module with IPsec Offload
5.2.1 Obtaining the Kernel Modules
The kernel modules described in
Section 4.2, “IPsec Offload Kernel and Driver,” on page 22
are
a part of a special Linux kernel installation bundle provided by Mellanox. The bundle includes
the latest kernel installation files and other related components:
• FPGA image bin file
• Kernel RPM files
• MFT tarball file
• Firmware bin files
• Example IPsec offload scripts
To download the bundle, please refer to

=> Ethernet => SmartNICs =>
Innova IPsec SmartNIC Ethernet => Download tab.
5.2.2 Installing the Kernel and Driver
Once you have obtained the kernel RPM file, the file can be installed by performing the
following steps:
1. Run: rpm -i kernel-<kernel_version>.rpm / rpm -i kernel-devel-<kernel_version>.rpm
2. Verify that the initial RAM disk image has been created:
a. Run ls /boot/ and look for the relevant initramfs and vmlinuz files that match the kernel version you just
installed (names should match the RPM name).
3. Please verify that the new kernel is added to the bootloader configuration file. If the new
kernel was not added automatically, you can add it manually:
a. For example, open the /boot/grub/grub.conf file for editing (the boot menu configuration file) and add a new
menu entry for the new installed kernel. Example of menu entry to be added (replace the vmlinuz and init-
ramfs names with the new kernel file names and modify the entry title as desired):
OFED installation on top of the kernel module that is provided in this bundle is not supported.
Please make sure that the latest FW, FPGA image and MFT versions are installed. Please refer to
the
Mellanox Innova IPsec EN Adapter Card Release Notes
for the latest versions.
