Configuring bypass cards for KVM
4. Use the
install.sh
script to install the configure the bypass card.
If using a bypass card with 4 ports, the install.sh script numbers the two left-most physical
interfaces as inpath0_0 and the two right-most interfaces as inpath1_0.
5. Optionally, change the default bypass card interface numbering by creating a custom XML file. See
“Changing the interface numbering with a custom XML file” on page 101
for details.
Changing the interface numbering with a custom XML file
The following sections describe how bypass cards are assigned interface numbering by default, and how
to change the physical interface numbering by creating a custom XML file.
Understanding default interface numbering
If you do not use the default interface numbering by the install.sh file, the numbering is determined by
values you specify in an XML file. If you do not specify any values, a PCI device is not explicitly assigned
a PCI address in the XML file, and QEMU assigns a PCI address for the device. QEMU assigns the PCI
addresses in the order in which the interfaces appear in the XML file, with the interface appearing first in
the XML file being assigned a lower device number inside of the VM.
For example, if the PCI IDs of the bypass card network interfaces appear as PCI IDs 04:00.0, 04:00.1,
04:00.3, and 04:00.4, and you specify the IDs in that order in the XML file, the SteelHead-v names the
left-most pair of interfaces on the bypass card inpath1_0 and the right-most pair inpath0_0, as shown
in this figure.
Figure 6-3. Physical interface naming
To change the interface numbering, create an XML file and, when entering the PCI address on which the
device appears inside the VM, specify the higher-numbered interface pair first. For example, if the four
ports of the card in the host machine appear at PCI address 04:00.0, 04:00.1, 04:00.2, and 04:00.3,
specify the interfaces in XML file in the order of 04:00.2, 04:00.3, 04:00.0, and 04:00.1, so that the left
pair appears as inpath0_0 and the right pair appears as inpath1_0.
To change the default physical interface numbering for a bypass card
1. Identify the PCI IDs of the network interfaces corresponding to the bypass card.
