Thanks John, I figured that out since I was seeing the MODE: DISABLE all th=
e time....
Now I am able to set the flow-director-filter correctly...but need to play =
with the settings to get it right!!!

Will ping this group if I am still stuck end of the week.

Thanks

Hi,

You need to pass --pkt-filter-mode=3Dperfect or --pkt-filter-mode=3Dsignatu=
re on the commandline to enable flow director. If it isn't enabled you will=
 see something like the following and you will get the "Operation not suppo=
rted" message in several places:

  testpmd> show port fdir all

  ######################## FDIR infos for port 0      #####################=

  MODE:   DISABLE
  SUPPORTED FLOW TYPE:  ipv4-tcp ipv4-udp ipv4-sctp ipv4-other ipv6-tcp ipv=
6-udp ipv6-sctp ipv6-other
  FLEX PAYLOAD INFO:
