4 Devlink E-Switch Attribute
7 Devlink E-Switch supports two modes of operation: legacy and switchdev.
8 Legacy mode operates based on traditional MAC/VLAN steering rules. Switching
12 On the other hand, switchdev mode allows for more advanced offloading
13 capabilities of the E-Switch to hardware. In switchdev mode, more switching
14 rules and logic can be offloaded to the hardware switch ASIC. It enables
16 or scalable-functions (SFs) of the device. See more information about
20 In addition, the devlink E-Switch also comes with other attributes listed
26 The following is a list of E-Switch attributes.
28 .. list-table:: E-Switch attributes
31    * - Name
32      - Type
33      - Description
34    * - ``mode``
35      - enum
36      - The mode of the device. The mode can be one of the following:
41          the E-Switch to hardware.
42    * - ``inline-mode``
43      - enum
44      - Some HWs need the VF driver to put part of the packet
45        headers on the TX descriptor so the e-switch can do proper
46        matching and steering. Support for both switchdev mode and legacy mode.
49        * ``link`` L2 mode.
50        * ``network`` L3 mode.
51        * ``transport`` L4 mode.
52    * - ``encap-mode``
53      - enum
54      - The encapsulation mode of the device. Support for both switchdev mode
55        and legacy mode. The mode can be one of the following:
65     # enable switchdev mode
66     $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.0 mode switchdev
68     # set inline-mode and encap-mode
69     $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.0 inline-mode none encap-mode basic
73       pci/0000:08:00.0: mode switchdev inline-mode none encap-mode basic
75     # enable encap-mode with legacy mode
76     $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.0 mode legacy inline-mode none encap-mode basic
