3. Show forwarding table::
|

|

# bridge fdb show dev vxlan0

The following NIC features may indicate support for UDP tunnel-related
|
||||
offloads (most commonly VXLAN features, but support for a particular
|
||||
encapsulation protocol is NIC specific):
|
||||
|
||||
- `tx-udp_tnl-segmentation`
|
||||
- `tx-udp_tnl-csum-segmentation`
|
||||
ability to perform TCP segmentation offload of UDP encapsulated frames
|
||||
|
||||
- `rx-udp_tunnel-port-offload`
|
||||
receive side parsing of UDP encapsulated frames which allows NICs to
|
||||
perform protocol-aware offloads, like checksum validation offload of
|
||||
inner frames (only needed by NICs without protocol-agnostic offloads)
|
||||
|
||||
For devices supporting `rx-udp_tunnel-port-offload` the list of currently
|
||||
offloaded ports can be interrogated with `ethtool`::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ethtool --show-tunnels eth0
|
||||
Tunnel information for eth0:
