Onload has module options:

  • To list all onload module options:
    # modinfo onload
    # modinfo onload_cplane
  • Onload module options can be set in a user-created file (for example onload.conf) in the /etc/modprobe.d directory. For example:
    options onload max_layer2_interfaces=16
    options onload_cplane max_layer2_interfaces=16
