### Configuration example
-To enable DPDK Cryptodev the user just need to provide cryptodevs int the
-startup.conf.
+To enable DPDK Cryptodev the user just need to provide cryptodevs in the startup.conf.
-Example startup.conf:
+Below is an example startup.conf, it is not meant to be a default configuration:
```
dpdk {
- socket-mem 1024,1024
- num-mbufs 131072
dev 0000:81:00.0
dev 0000:81:00.1
- enable-cryptodev
dev 0000:85:01.0
dev 0000:85:01.1
- vdev cryptodev_aesni_mb_pmd,socket_id=1
- vdev cryptodev_aesni_mb_pmd,socket_id=1
+ vdev crypto_aesni_mb0,socket_id=1
+ vdev crypto_aesni_mb1,socket_id=1
}
```
In the above configuration:
-* 0000:85:01.0 and 0000:85:01.1 are crypto BDFs and they require the same driver binding as DPDK Ethernet devices but they do not support any extra configuration options.
-* Two AESNI-MB Software Cryptodev PMDs are created in NUMA node 1.
