# ix.conf
# configuration file for IX
#
# This file defines the configuration for IX data center OS. You should
# carefully update all fields in accordence with your local configuration
# before running IX for the first time.

# Network Parameters
###############################################################################

## host_addr : CIDR IP address and netmask that will be assigned to
##      the adapter once it comes up.
host_addr="192.168.40.1/16"

# gateway_addr : default gateway IP address
gateway_addr="192.168.1.1"

## port : port(s) that will be bound to the application by the
##      kernel when launching IX.
##      You can specify multiple entries, e.g. 'port=[X, Y, Z]'
port=1234

# Hardware parameters

## devices : Specifies the PCI device ID of the adapter to bind IX with.
##      Should be an Intel compatible NIC (e.g. 82599, X520, X540, etc)..
##      See the Docs to see which adapters are currently supported.
##      Format is a list dddd:bb:ss.ff,... d - domain, b = bus,
##      s = slot, f = function. Usually, `lspci | grep Ethernet` allows to see
##      available Ethernet controllers.
##      You can specify multiple entries, e.g. 'devices=["X","Y","Z"]'
devices="0:05:00.0"

## cpu : Indicates which CPU process unit(s) (P) this IX instance
##      should be bound to.
##      WARNING: If this setting defines multiple nodes, make sure they ar
##      part of the same NUMA socket. On most architectures, the IDs of
##      processing units on the same socket are interleaved.
##      Usually `lstopo` allows to see NUMA nodes topology
##      You can specify multiple entries, e.g. 'nodes=["X","Y","Z"]'
cpu=0

## batch : Specifies maximum batch size of received packets to process.
##      Default: 64.
batch=64

## loader_path : kernel loader to use with IX module:
##
loader_path="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2"

## arp: allows you to manually add static arp entries in the interface arp
## table.
#arp=(
#  {
#    ip : "192.168.1.2"
#    mac : "aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa"
