The RSS parameter specifies the number of receive side scal-
ing queues used by the host or virtual extensible LAN
(VxLAN) tunneled traffic for a PF. RSS can be 2, 3, or 4, or one
of the following values:
–1: Use the default number of queues.
0 or 1: Disable RSS queues.
You can specify multiple values delimited by commas for mul-
tiport or multifunction configurations.
The debug parameter specifies the level of data that the
driver records in the vmkernel log file. debug can have the
following values, shown in increasing amounts of data:
0x80000000: Notice level
0x40000000: Information level (includes the Notice level)
0x3FFFFFFF: Verbose level for all driver submodules
(includes the Information and Notice levels)
The auto_fw_reset parameter enables (1) or disables (0)
the driver automatic firmware recovery capability. When this
parameter is enabled, the driver attempts to recover from
events such as transmit timeouts, firmware asserts, and
adapter parity errors. The default is auto_fw_reset=1.
The vxlan_filter_en parameter enables (1) or disables (0) the
VxLAN filtering based on the outer MAC, the inner MAC, and
the VxLAN network (VNI), directly matching traffic to a specific
queue. The default is vxlan_filter_en=1. You can specify multi-
ple values delimited by commas for multiport or multifunction
configurations.
The enable_vxlan_offld parameter enables (1) or dis-
ables (0) the VxLAN tunneled traffic checksum offload and
