1. The next step is to enable port 4789 for VXLAN UDP traffic. Please run the following command to make this change:
    $ echo “options vxlan udp_port=4789" > /etc/modprobe.d/vxlan.conf
    
  2. Once this configuration is made, the initial file system that is loaded into the memory needs to be updated so that it picks up the new configuration.

    $ sudo dracut -v
    
  3. Load the VXLAN module

    $ sudo modprobe vxlan
    
  4. Please reboot the machine to ensure that the configuration changes are written to the disk and that the VXLAN offload module is loaded.

    $ reboot
    
  5. Verify that the VXLAN module has been loaded with the following command

    $ lsmod | grep vxlan
    
  6. Verify that the correct UDP port has been set for VXLAN offloading (note: the output should be “4789”

    $ cat /sys/module/vxlan/parameters/udp_port
    
  7. The following files have to be replaced:

    a. /opt/pg/scripts/systemd_post_start.sh 
    b. /opt/pg/scripts/systemd_post_stop.sh 
    c. /etc/init/plumgrid.conf
    
  8. Restart PLUMgrid services on the node with the following command:

    $ service plumgrid stop; sleep 30; service plumgrid start
    
  9. Verify that the Mellanox interface has VXLAN offloading enabled:

    $ ethtool -k <interface name> | grep udp
