How To Fix i40e_sysfs_command: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu i40e_sysfs_command is provided by python3-neutron-taas package.

python3-neutron-taas is:

Neutron provides an API to dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks connect “interfaces” from other OpenStack services (such as vNICs from Nova VMs). The Neutron API supports extensions to provide advanced network capabilities, including QoS, ACLs, and network monitoring.

Tap-as-a-Service (TaaS) is an extension to the OpenStack network service (Neutron). It provides remote port mirroring capability for tenant virtual networks.

Port mirroring involves sending a copy of packets entering and/or leaving one port to another port, which is usually different from the original destinations of the packets being mirrored.

This service has been primarily designed to help tenants (or the cloud administrator) debug complex virtual networks and gain visibility into their VMs, by monitoring the network traffic associated with them. TaaS honors tenant boundaries and its mirror sessions are capable of spanning across multiple compute and network nodes. It serves as an essential infrastructure component that can be utilized for supplying data to a variety of network analytics and security applications (e.g. IDS).

This package provides the Python 2 files for the Tap-as-a-Service (TaaS) extension.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install python3-neutron-taas

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install python3-neutron-taas.
