BlueField-2 DPU connect issue

Hi all,

ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo mlnx-sf -a show

ubuntu@localhost:~$

When I ping the host from enp3s0f0s0, and do tcpdump on en3f0pf0sf0.
No package could be caputred.

Is there any other configuration to disable this?
Thanks.

=====
I want to add that the tx of enp3s0f0s0 and rx of en3f0pf0sf0 grows when ping.

Hi wangyw,

Thank you for posting your inquiry to the NVIDIA Networking Forums.

You should be able to capture packets directly from the physical interface representor (IE: ARM-side p0, p1 interface).

The data path will change depending on your configuration, and which mode of operation you have configured.
Please review the following document (‘Modes of Operation’) for more details about the data path in each mode of operation: https://docs.nvidia.com/networking/display/BlueFieldDPUOSv385/Modes+of+Operation

If you need further assistance, please open a support case at: https://support.mellanox.com/s/

Best regards,
NVIDIA Networking Support
