DPDK global settings

You must first enable DPDK and associate it to the interfaces which DPDK will polled for traffic. Enabling DPDK for the first time requires a system reboot.

config dpdk global

set status enable

set interface "port2" "port3" "port4" "port5"

set multiqueue enable

set sleep-on-idle disable

set elasticbuffer disable

set per-session-accounting traffic-log-only

set hugepage-percentage 25

set mbufpool-percentage 20

end

See DPDK global settings for a detailed explanation of these configuration items.

You can then use these interfaces as normal in FortiOS. The following uses these interfaces to create LAGs to handle traffic:

config system interface

edit "LAG-IN"

set vdom "root"

set ip 10.0.0.254 255.255.0.0

set allowaccess ping

set type aggregate

set member "port2" "port3"

set lldp-reception disable

set lldp-transmission disable

set snmp-index 7

set lacp-mode static

next

edit "LAG-OUT"

set vdom “root”

set ip 10.1.0.254 255.255.0.0

set allowaccess ping

set type aggregate

set member "port4" "port5"

set lldp-reception disable

set lldp-transmission disable

set snmp-index 8

set lacp-mode static

next

end
