Example for running multiple io-pkt instances   ________________________________________________________________________ Applicable Environment ________________________________________________________________________ Topic: io-pkt SDP: 7.1.0, 7.0.0, 6.6.0, 6.5.0 Target: All supported targets ________________________________________________________________________ Question ________________________________________________________________________ How to setup multiple instances of io-pkt? ________________________________________________________________________ Solution ________________________________________________________________________ See the -i option in our io-pkt documentation on how to start multiple io-pkt instances. This is an example for launching 4 different network stacks: slay -f io-pkt-v4-hc sleep 2 echo "tulip" io-pkt-v4-hc -i1 -ptcpip prefix=/alt mount -Tio-pkt1 /lib/dll/devn-tulip.so SOCK=/alt ifconfig echo "speedo" io-pkt-v4-hc -i2 -ptcpip prefix=/alt2 mount -Tio-pkt2 /lib/dll/devn-speedo.so SOCK=/alt2 ifconfig echo "3com" # pci=0,vid=0x10b7,did=0x9055 /lib/dll/devn-el900.so io-pkt-v4-hc -i3 -ptcpip prefix=/alt3 mount -Tio-pkt3 -o pci=0,vid=0x10b7,did=0x9055 /lib/dll/devn-el900.so SOCK=/alt3 ifconfig echo "3com 2" # pci=0,vid=0x10b7,did=0x9200 /lib/dll/devn-el900.so io-pkt-v4-hc -i4 -ptcpip prefix=/alt4 mount -Tio-pkt4 -o pci=0,vid=0x10b7,did=0x9200 /lib/dll/devn-el900.so SOCK=/alt4 ifconfig pidin -p io-pkt-v4-hc It's required to specify the pci,vid and did for identical netwok cards. The console output looks like this: # ./run4stacks.sh tulip lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33192 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 en0: flags=80008802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,SHIM> mtu 1500 address: 00:80:ad:86:cd:b5 media: Ethernet 100baseTX status: active speedo lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33192 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 en0: flags=80008802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,SHIM> mtu 1500 address: 00:07:e9:b9:31:77 media: Ethernet none status: no carrier 3com lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33192 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 en0: flags=80008802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,SHIM> mtu 1500 capabilities=7<IP4CSUM,TCP4CSUM,UDP4CSUM> enabled=0 address: 00:50:04:7a:fa:cf media: Ethernet none full-duplex status: active 3com 2 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33192 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 en0: flags=80008802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,SHIM> mtu 1500 capabilities=7<IP4CSUM,TCP4CSUM,UDP4CSUM> enabled=0 address: 00:01:02:45:44:a0 media: Ethernet none full-duplex status: active pid tid name prio STATE Blocked 2342938 1 sbin/io-pkt-v4-hc 21r SIGWAITINFO 2342938 2 sbin/io-pkt-v4-hc 21r RECEIVE 1 2342938 3 sbin/io-pkt-v4-hc 21r RECEIVE 16 2375727 1 sbin/io-pkt-v4-hc 21r SIGWAITINFO 2375727 2 sbin/io-pkt-v4-hc 21r RECEIVE 1 2375727 3 sbin/io-pkt-v4-hc 21r RECEIVE 16 2408497 1 sbin/io-pkt-v4-hc 21r SIGWAITINFO # ls /dev/ [snip] io-net1 io-net2 io-net3 io-net4 [snip] ________________________________________________________________________ NOTE: This entry has been validated against the SDP version listed above.
