RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Karthik Sundaravel 2022-12-26 14:30:00 UTC 
Description of problem:
I used the below template to create a dpdk port and user bridge, however the MTU could not be applied.

Expected results:

The dpdk ports/user bridge shall be created with the MTU set.
Comment 1 Gris Ge 2022-12-27 02:19:50 UTC 
The `br-link` interface is a `ovs-bridge` which is not allowed to have MTU settings as it is user space only interface.
Comment 2 Gris Ge 2022-12-27 05:24:57 UTC 
For setting MTU to DPDK ovs internal interface, it's a bug of nmstate.

The DPDK OVS interface does not have kernel representative, but only exists in OVSDB:

Will fix it up.
Comment 3 Gris Ge 2023-01-03 15:30:42 UTC 
Hi Kathik,

Could you try `sudo dnf copr enable packit/nmstate-nmstate-2167 -y; sudo dnf upgrade nmstate -y`?

Thank you!
Comment 4 Karthik Sundaravel 2023-01-04 05:20:43 UTC 
Hi Gris

It works fine with this.

Thanks!
