4# Example command line for the DPDK test-pmd application. Out of the 3 application cores (see the
5# -c <core_mask> argument), core 0 is running the control thread doing configuration and CLI, core 1
6# is running the forwarding thread, and core 2 is setup as service core (see the -s <core_mask>
7# argument) for the purpose of running the Soft NIC device:
8#
9#	./build/app/dpdk-testpmd -c 7 -s 4 --vdev 'net_softnic0,firmware=./drivers/net/softnic/firmware.cli,cpu_id=0,conn_port=8086' -- -i
10#
11# Commands from within the DPDK test-pmd application:
12#
13# 	testpmd> set portlist <softnic_port_id>
14#	testpmd> show config fwd
15#	testpmd> start
16#
17# To setup the CLI prompt to the Soft NIC device, the DPDK test-pmd application needs to be modified
18# to call the rte_pmd_softnic_manage() function. Once the Soft NIC device is started, the command to
19# get the CLI prompt is:
20#
21#	telnet 0.0.0.0 8086
