Releases of Onload prior to onload-201710 support the following runtime configurable options which determine the size of control plane tables:
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| max_layer2_interfaces |
Sets the maximum number of network interfaces, including physical interfaces, VLANs and bonds, supported in Onload’s control plane. Table: mib_llap (also referred to in messages as the “local address table”). |
50 |
| max_local_addrs |
Sets the maximum number of local network addresses supported in Onload’s control plane. Table: mib_ipif |
256 |
| max_neighs |
Sets the maximum number of rows in the Onload ARP/neighbor table. The value is rounded up to a power of two. Table: mib_mac |
1024 |
| max_routes |
Sets the maximum number of entries in the Onload route table. The default size is usually sufficient; but might need to be increased for complex routing setups. The minimum size needed can be calculated as ((local IP addresses +1) * remote IP addresses); or determined by: Table: mib_fwd |
256 |
If non-default values are needed, the user should create a file in the /etc/modprobe.d directory. The file must have the .conf extension. Onload options can be added to the file, a single option per line, in the following format:
options onload_cplane max_neighs=512
options onload_cplane max_routes=256
