Increase number of VALE switches that can be instantiated
sergio-gimenez opened this issue · comments
Currently, I cannot instantiate more than 8 VALE switches at the same time. Is there a way to increase that number?
Okey, I figured out myself. Fom vale
man page:
LIMITS
vale currently supports up to 254 ports per switch. The maximum number of
switches defaults to 8 but can be changed by means of the max_bridges
sysctl variable.
To change the max_bridges
variable simply:
modprobe netmap max_bridges=128
If we check the variable now:
❯ cat /sys/module/netmap/parameters/max_bridges
128
