I run my Trex server in stateless mode and with interfaces defined with Linux interface names.
This is what's shown in the TRex book under low-end machines sections.
3.5 Linux interfaces
Another interesting low-end use case is using native Linux interfaces.
- version : 2
#List of interfaces. Change to suit your setup. Use ./dpdk_setup_ports.py -s to see available options
interfaces : ["private100","private0", "private1", "dummy"]
port_info :
- dest_mac: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
src_mac: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
With that, I'm trying to turn on multicast mode for the port in the trex-console via
portattr -p 0 --mult on
trex>portattr -p 0 1 2 --mult on
Applying attributes on port(s) [0, 1, 2]: [SUCCESS]
trex>portattr

The port multicast mode won't turn on, keep at off.
I have a similar setup with PCID in the interface like the following
interfaces: ['01:00.0', '05:00.0']
I can switch on multicast for a port without a problem.
I wonder if this Linux interface's low-end mode won't work with multicast
There isn't anything mentioned in the doc that multicast doesn't work for this low-end use case.
