-# VMWARE vmxnet3 device driver plugin {#vmxnet3_doc}
-
-##Overview
-This plugin provides native PCI driver support for VMWare vmxnet3.
-
-##Prerequisites
- * This code is tested with vfio-pci driver installed with Ubuntu 18.04 which
-has kernel version 4.15.0-33-generic.
-
- * This driver is tested with ESXi vSwitch version 6.5/6.7 for LRO/TSO support, VMware Workstation 15 Pro (no LRO/TSO), and VMware Fusion 11 Pro (no LRO/TSO)
-
- * Driver requires MSI-X interrupt support, which is not supported by
-uio_pci_generic driver. So vfio-pci must be used. On systems without IOMMU,
-vfio driver can still be used with 4.15.0-33-generic kernel (Ubuntu 18.04) which supports no-iommu mode.
-
-##Known issues
-
-* VLAN filter
-
-## Usage
-### System setup
-
-1. load VFIO driver
-```
-sudo modprobe vfio-pci
-```
-
-2. Make sure the interface is down
-```
-sudo ifconfig <if-name> down
-```
-
-Steps 3 and 4 are optional. They can be accomplished by specifying the optional keyword "bind" when creating the vmxnet3 interface.
-
-3. (systems without IOMMU only) enable unsafe NOIOMMU mode
-```
-echo Y | sudo tee /sys/module/vfio/parameters/enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode
-```
-
-4. Bind interface to vfio-pci
-```
-sudo dpdk-devbind.py --bind vfio-pci 0b:00.0
-```
-
-### Interface Creation
-Interface can be dynamically created with following CLI, with or without the bind option. If step 3 and 4 were executed, bind can be omitted.
-```
-create interface vmxnet3 0000:0b:00.0 bind
-set int state vmxnet3-0/b/0/0 up
-```
-
-### Interface Deletion
-Interface can be deleted with following CLI:
-```
-delete interface vmxnet3 <if-name>
-```
-
-### Interface Statistics
-Interface statistics can be displayed with `show hardware-interface <if-name>`
-command.
-
-### Show Interface CLI
-Interface and ring information can be obtained with
-`show vmxnet3 [if-name] [desc]`
