      Given a system administrator is managing an OVS setup with a DPDK virtio-user PMD, 

      When they try to set or change the MAC address of a tap interface using the command `ovs-vsctl set interface <interface> mac=<MAC address>`, 

      Then, the system should successfully change the MAC address of the specified interface and the new MAC address should be applied. 

      ( ) The epics work is available in a downstream build (nightly/async or other)

      ( ) Test coverage is available in downstream CI if applicable

      ( ) All cards under the epic have been moved to Done

      ( ) Failed Test Plans have bugs added as children to the epic/feature.

      This epic tracks all the effort needed to deliver the solution related to the feature request described below.
      Initially reported in [FD-3048

       

      Vhost-kernel implementation of DPDK Virtio-user PMD does not implement the (struct virtio_user_backend_ops *)->set_config() callback.

       

      Implementing it would enable to set the tap interface MAC address using the existing tap_set_mac() function.

       

      Changing the MAC address could be tested with OVS as below:

      ovs-vsctl set interface <interface> mac=<MAC address>
