OFS : Data Path of QSFP from HE_HSSI

Hi Team, I am using N6001 with Intel OFS (OFS PCIe Attach) . I wanted to test data transfer from Host1 to Host2 as below. Host1 -> N6001(Port0) -> OtherNIC(Port0) -> Host2. Is there any sample app...

Hi,


Do you face the same issue when you have the connection loopback from port 0 to port 1 of the FPGA board?

    Hi @JohnT_Intel ,

    Testcase1: In Loopback mode: Server1

    Here, In server1 I am using HSSI application to send packets. I could see the packets received using hssistats in same Server1. I could see out the values of TX and RX packet counts in hssistats application. This testcase works.


    Testcase2: In External Board to Board mode: Server1 -> Server2

    Here, In server1 I am using HSSI application to send packets. In server2 I am using normal ifconfig. I could see no packets received in Server2. I could see out the values of TX counts in hssistats application in Server1. Even executed tcpdump in server2. This testcase doesnot work.

    Let me know is there anyway I can show that HSSI sending packets to other cards. Since I have only one N6001 and a Mellanox card.
