 # BF-2 Memory Usage
 
-- In developing DDS, log files are accumulated under `/dev/shm/`. They should be cleared periodically.

+- In developing DDS, log files are accumulated under `/dev/shm/`. They should be cleared periodically.
+
+# DDS Configuration
+
+- Host: APR entry for the DPU must be statically configured
+	- Windows: (1) `Get-NetAdapter` to find the index of the BF-2 CX-6 NIC, and (2) `New-NetNeighbor -InterfaceIndex [BF-2 CX-6 NIC index] -IPAddress '[DPU IP]' -LinkLayerAddress '000000000100' -State Permanent`
+	- Linux: run `Scripts/HostAddArpLinux.sh [DPU IP] 00:00:00:00:01:00`
+
+- DPU: the scalable function id in `Main/NetworkConfig.json` must be consistent with the created scalable function for DDS (check with `devlink dev show`)
