- DPDK backends and clients using NICs supporting shared IP:
-
- Require one IP address per client for both management and data plane.
- SR-IOV enabled is not required.
- DPDK backends and clients using NICs supporting non-shared IP:
-
- IP address for management: One per NIC (configured before WEKA installation).
- IP address for data plane: One per WEKA core in each server (applied during cluster initialization).
- Virtual Functions (VFs):
- Ensure the device supports a maximum number of VFs greater than the number of physical cores on the server.
- Set the number of VFs to match the cores you intend to dedicate to WEKA.
- Note that some BIOS configurations may be necessary.
- SR-IOV: Enabled in BIOS.
- UDP clients:
- Use a single IP address for all purposes.
