}

By default, the vRouter assigns a CPU to a dataplane interface in a round-robin manner.

If you configure a limited number of CPUs, the number of receive queues are reduced. If you configure a CPU that does not exist or is not defined as used for the data plane, then a message is logged and the interface does not start.

Use the set form of this command to define the CPU affinity list for the data plane interface.

Use the delete form of this command to remove CPU affinity list for the data plane interface.

Use the show form of this command to view the CPU affinity list for the data plane.
