Is the Flex Byte Filtering Offloaded to the Intel® Ethernet Controllers E810-CAM2?

Environment

Intel® Ethernet Controller E810-CAM2Arch Linux ice-1.3.2 driver

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Summary

Provides information about limitation of driver filtering capabilities

Description

Unable to activate flex byte filter without a flow type defined.

Resolution

Yes, however, this driver allows you to filter traffic based on a user-defined flexible two-byte pattern and offset by using the ethtool user-defined and mask fields.

Only L3 and L4 flow types are supported for user-defined flexible filters.

For a given flow type, you must clear all Intel Ethernet Flow Director filters before changing the input set (for that flow type).
