33Testpmd Runtime Functions
34=========================
35
36Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
37it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
38configure the application, display statistics (including the extended NIC
39statistics aka xstats) , set the Flow Director and other tasks::
40
41   testpmd>
42
43The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
44Common bash command-line functions such as ``Ctrl+a`` and ``Ctrl+e`` to go to the start and end of the prompt line are supported
45as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
46
47There is also support for tab completion.
48If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
49
50.. code-block:: console
51
52   testpmd> show port <TAB>
53
54       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
55       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
56       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
57       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
58       ...
59
60
61.. note::
62
63   Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
64
65      testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
66               (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
67
68In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
69
70Help Functions
71--------------
72
73The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
74These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
75
76.. code-block:: console
77
78   testpmd> help
79
80       help control    : Start and stop forwarding.
81       help display    : Displaying port, stats and config information.
82       help config     : Configuration information.
83       help ports      : Configuring ports.
84       help registers  : Reading and setting port registers.
85       help filters    : Filters configuration help.
86       help all        : All of the above sections.
87
88
89Command File Functions
90----------------------
91
92To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
93practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
94
95* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
96  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
97  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
98
99.. code-block:: console
100
101   ./testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

119   testpmd>
120
121
122* At run-time additional commands can be loaded in bulk by invoking the ``load FILENAME``
123  command.
124
125.. code-block:: console
126
127   testpmd> load /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
128   Flow rule #0 created
129   Flow rule #1 created

133   Flow rule #499 created
134   Read all CLI commands from /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
135   testpmd>
136
137
138In all cases output from any included command will be displayed as standard output.
139Execution will continue until the end of the file is reached regardless of
140whether any errors occur.  The end user must examine the output to determine if
141any failures occurred.

269
270For example::
271
272   testpmd> clear port stats all
273
274show (rxq|txq)
275~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
276
277Display information for a given port's RX/TX queue::
278
279   testpmd> show (rxq|txq) info (port_id) (queue_id)
280
281show config
282~~~~~~~~~~~
283
284Displays the configuration of the application.
285The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
286
287   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|txpkts)
288
289The available information categories are:
290
291* ``rxtx``: RX/TX configuration items.
292
293* ``cores``: List of forwarding cores.
294
295* ``fwd``: Packet forwarding configuration.
296
297* ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
298
299For example:
300
301.. code-block:: console
302
303   testpmd> show config rxtx
304
305   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
306   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
307   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
308   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
309   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
310   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
311   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
312
313set fwd
314~~~~~~~
315
316Set the packet forwarding mode::
317
318   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
319                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho) (""|retry)
320
321``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
322
323The available information categories are:
324
325* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
326  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
327  This is the default mode.
328
329* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
330  Default application behaviour is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
331  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
332  'eth-peer-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
333
334* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
335  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
336
337* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
338  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
339
340* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
341
342* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
343
344* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
345
346* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
347
348* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
349
350* ``tm``: Traffic Management forwarding mode
351  Demonstrates the use of ethdev traffic management APIs and softnic PMD for
352  QoS traffic management. In this mode, 5-level hierarchical QoS scheduler is
353  available as an default option that can be enabled through CLI. The user can
354  also modify the default hierarchy or specify the new hierarchy through CLI for
355  implementing QoS scheduler.  Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SOFTNIC=y`` ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_SCHED=y``.
356
357Note: TX timestamping is only available in the "Full Featured" TX path. To force ``testpmd`` into this mode set ``--txqflags=0``.
358
359Example::
360
361   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
362
363   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
364
365
366read rxd
367~~~~~~~~
368
369Display an RX descriptor for a port RX queue::
370
371   testpmd> read rxd (port_id) (queue_id) (rxd_id)
372
373For example::
374
375   testpmd> read rxd 0 0 4
376        0x0000000B - 0x001D0180 / 0x0000000B - 0x001D0180
377
378read txd
379~~~~~~~~
380
381Display a TX descriptor for a port TX queue::
382
383   testpmd> read txd (port_id) (queue_id) (txd_id)
384
385For example::
386
387   testpmd> read txd 0 0 4
388        0x00000001 - 0x24C3C440 / 0x000F0000 - 0x2330003C
389
390ddp get list

422
423   testpmd> show port (port_id) pctype mapping
424
425
426Configuration Functions
427-----------------------
428
429The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
430
431This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
432
433.. note::
434
435   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
436
437set default
438~~~~~~~~~~~
439
440Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
441
442   testpmd> set default
443
444set verbose
445~~~~~~~~~~~
446
447Set the debug verbosity level::
448
449   testpmd> set verbose (level)
450
451Currently the only available levels are 0 (silent except for error) and 1 (fully verbose).
452
453set nbport
454~~~~~~~~~~
455
456Set the number of ports used by the application:
457
458set nbport (num)
459
460This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
461
462set nbcore
463~~~~~~~~~~
464
465Set the number of cores used by the application::
466
467   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
468
469This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
470
471.. note::
472
473   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
474
475set coremask
476~~~~~~~~~~~~
477
478Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
479
480   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
481
482This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
483
484.. note::
485
486   The master lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
487
488set portmask
489~~~~~~~~~~~~
490
491Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
492
493   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
494
495This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
496
497set burst
498~~~~~~~~~
499
500Set number of packets per burst::
501
502   testpmd> set burst (num)
503
504This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
505
506When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
507
508   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
509
510set txpkts
511~~~~~~~~~~
512
513Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
514
515   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
516
517Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
518
519set txsplit
520~~~~~~~~~~~
521
522Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
523
524   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
525
526Where:
527
528* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
529
530* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
531  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
532  (see above).
533
534* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
535
536set corelist
537~~~~~~~~~~~~
538
539Set the list of forwarding cores::
540
541   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
542
543For example, to change the forwarding cores:
544
545.. code-block:: console
546
547   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
548   testpmd> show config fwd
549
550   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
551   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
552   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
553   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
554   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00

559
560set portlist
561~~~~~~~~~~~~
562
563Set the list of forwarding ports::
564
565   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)
566
567For example, to change the port forwarding:
568
569.. code-block:: console
570
571   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
572   testpmd> show config fwd

850* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
851
852* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
853  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
854  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
855
856.. note::
857
858   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
859
860RSS queue region
861~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
862
863Set RSS queue region span on a port::
864
865   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) \
866		queue_start_index (value) queue_num (value)
867
868Set flowtype mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::
869
870   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) flowtype (value)
871
872where:
873
874* For the flowtype(pctype) of packet,the specific index for each type has

882
883   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region flush (on|off)
884
885where:
886
887* "on"is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
888  it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
889  at first will only keep in DPDK softwarestored in driver,
890  only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.
891  "off" is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
892  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
893
894Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
895
896   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
897
898.. note::
899
900  Queue region only support on PF by now, so these command is
901  only for configuration of queue region on PF port.
902
903csum parse-tunnel
904~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
905
906Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
907engine::
908
909   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
910
911If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
912tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
913
914If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
915header is handled as a packet payload).
916
917.. note::
918
919   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
920
921Example:
922
923Consider a packet in packet like the following::
924
925   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
926
927* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
928  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
929  ``outer-ip parameter`` relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out``).
930
931* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
932   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.
933
934csum show
935~~~~~~~~~
936
937Display tx checksum offload configuration::
938
939   testpmd> csum show (port_id)
940
941tso set
942~~~~~~~
943
944Enable TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) in the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
945
946   testpmd> tso set (segsize) (port_id)
947
948.. note::
949
950   Check the NIC datasheet for hardware limits.
951
952tso show
953~~~~~~~~
954
955Display the status of TCP Segmentation Offload::
956
957   testpmd> tso show (port_id)
958
959set port - gro
960~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
961
962Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
963
964   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
965
966If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
967packets received from the given port.
968
969If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
970GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
971
972.. note::
973
974   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
975   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
976   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
977   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
978   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
979   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
980   transmitted to.
981
982show port - gro
983~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
984
985Display GRO configuration for a given port::
986
987   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
988
989set gro flush
990~~~~~~~~~~~~~
991
992Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
993
994   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
995
996When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
997packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
998can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
999from the reassembly tables.
1000
1001The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1002engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1003operations.
1004
1005By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1006from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1007of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1008
1009Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1010stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1011stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1012
1013set port - gso
1014~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1015
1016Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1017
1018   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1019
1020If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1021packets, transmitted on the given port.
1022
1023If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1024By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1025
1026.. note::
1027
1028   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1029   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1030   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1031   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1032   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1033   GSO-enabled ports.
1034
1035   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1036   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1037
1038   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1039
1040   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1041
1042   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1043
1044set gso segsz
1045~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1046
1047Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the
1048packet header and the packet payload for GSO-enabled ports (global)::
1049
1050   testpmd> set gso segsz <length>
1051
1052show port - gso

1437Port Functions
1438--------------
1439
1440The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1441
1442.. note::
1443
1444   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1445
1446port attach
1447~~~~~~~~~~~
1448
1449Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1450
1451   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1452
1453To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1454Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1455Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1456
1457For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1458
1459.. code-block:: console
1460
1461   # Check the status of the available devices.
1462   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1463
1464   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1465   ============================================
1466   <none>
1467
1468   Network devices using kernel driver
1469   ===================================
1470   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1471
1472
1473   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1474   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1475
1476
1477   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1478   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1479   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1480   ============================================
1481   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1482
1483To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1484
1485For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1486
1487.. code-block:: console
1488
1489   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1490   Attaching a new port...
1491   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1492   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1493   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1494   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1495   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1496   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1497   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1498   Done
1499
1500For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1501
1502.. code-block:: console
1503
1504   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1505   Attaching a new port...
1506   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1507   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1508   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1509   Done
1510
1511In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1512This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1513
1514For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1515the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1516
1517.. code-block:: console
1518
1519   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1520   Attaching a new port...
1521   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1522   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1523   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1524   Done
1525
1526
1527port detach
1528~~~~~~~~~~~
1529
1530Detach a specific port::
1531
1532   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1533
1534Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1535
1536For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1537
1538.. code-block:: console
1539
1540   testpmd> port stop 0
1541   Stopping ports...
1542   Done
1543   testpmd> port close 0
1544   Closing ports...
1545   Done
1546
1547   testpmd> port detach 0
1548   Detaching a port...
1549   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1550   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1551   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1552   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1553   Done
1554
1555
1556For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1557
1558.. code-block:: console
1559
1560   testpmd> port stop 0
1561   Stopping ports...
1562   Done
1563   testpmd> port close 0
1564   Closing ports...
1565   Done
1566
1567   testpmd> port detach 0
1568   Detaching a port...
1569   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1570   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1571   Done
1572
1573To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1574Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1575Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1576
1577For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1578
1579.. code-block:: console
1580
1581   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1582
1583   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

1868
1869   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
1870
1871
1872remove bonding slave
1873~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1874
1875Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::

2285Update port traffic management hierarchy parent node::
2286
2287   testpmd> set port tm node parent (port_id) (node_id) (parent_node_id) \
2288   (priority) (weight)
2289
2290This function can only be called after the hierarchy commit invocation. Its
2291success depends on the port support for this operation, as advertised through
2292the port capability set. This function is valid for all nodes of the traffic
2293management hierarchy except root node.
2294
2295Commit port traffic management hierarchy
2296~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2297
2298Commit the traffic management hierarchy on the port::
2299
2300   testpmd> port tm hierarchy commit (port_id) (clean_on_fail)
2301
2302where:
2303
2304* ``clean_on_fail``: When set to non-zero, hierarchy is cleared on function
2305  call failure. On the other hand, hierarchy is preserved when this parameter
2306  is equal to zero.
2307
2308Set port traffic management default hierarchy (tm forwarding mode)
2309~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2310
2311set the traffic management default hierarchy on the port::

2489.. _testpmd_flow_director:
2490
2491flow_director_filter
2492~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2493
2494The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
2495
2496Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
2497Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
2498
2499* Perfect match filters.
2500  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2501  The masked fields are for IP flow.
2502
2503* Signature filters.
2504  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
2505
2506* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
2507  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2508  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
2509
2510* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
2511  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2512  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
2513
2514The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
2515per flow type and the flexible payload.
2516
2517The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
2518are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
2519
2520Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

2692   set_hash_input_set (port_id) (ipv4-frag|ipv4-tcp|ipv4-udp|ipv4-sctp| \
2693   ipv4-other|ipv6-frag|ipv6-tcp|ipv6-udp|ipv6-sctp|ipv6-other| \
2694   l2_payload) (ovlan|ivlan|src-ipv4|dst-ipv4|src-ipv6|dst-ipv6|ipv4-tos| \
2695   ipv4-proto|ipv6-tc|ipv6-next-header|udp-src-port|udp-dst-port| \
2696   tcp-src-port|tcp-dst-port|sctp-src-port|sctp-dst-port|sctp-veri-tag| \
2697   udp-key|gre-key|fld-1st|fld-2nd|fld-3rd|fld-4th|fld-5th|fld-6th|fld-7th| \
2698   fld-8th|none) (select|add)
2699
2700For example, to add source IP to hash input set for flow type of ipv4-udp on port 0::
2701
2702   testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-udp src-ipv4 add
2703
2704set_fdir_input_set
2705~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2706
2707The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet, i.e. specific input set
2708on per flow type and the flexible payload. This command can be used to change input set for each flow type.
2709
2710Set the input set for flow director::
2711
2712   set_fdir_input_set (port_id) (ipv4-frag|ipv4-tcp|ipv4-udp|ipv4-sctp| \
2713   ipv4-other|ipv6|ipv6-frag|ipv6-tcp|ipv6-udp|ipv6-sctp|ipv6-other| \
2714   l2_payload) (ivlan|ethertype|src-ipv4|dst-ipv4|src-ipv6|dst-ipv6|ipv4-tos| \
2715   ipv4-proto|ipv4-ttl|ipv6-tc|ipv6-next-header|ipv6-hop-limits| \
2716   tudp-src-port|udp-dst-port|cp-src-port|tcp-dst-port|sctp-src-port| \
2717   sctp-dst-port|sctp-veri-tag|none) (select|add)
2718
2719For example to add source IP to FD input set for flow type of ipv4-udp on port 0::
2720
2721   testpmd> set_fdir_input_set 0 ipv4-udp src-ipv4 add
2722
2723global_config
2724~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2725
2726Set different GRE key length for input set::
2727
2728   global_config (port_id) gre-key-len (number in bytes)
2729
2730For example to set GRE key length for input set to 4 bytes on port 0::
2731
2732   testpmd> global_config 0 gre-key-len 4

2736
2737Flow rules management
2738---------------------
2739
2740Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
2741``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
2742modes).
2743
2744Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
2745features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
2746not recommended.
2747
2748``flow`` syntax
2749~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2750
2751Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
2752of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
2753other commands, in particular:
2754
2755- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
2756  token, not that of the entire command.
2757
2758- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
2759  in the contextual help).
2760
2761The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
2762their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
2763following sections.
2764
2765- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
2766
2767   flow validate {port_id}
2768       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2769       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2770       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2771
2772- Create a flow rule::
2773
2774   flow create {port_id}
2775       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2776       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2777       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2778
2779- Destroy specific flow rules::
2780
2781   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
2782
2783- Destroy all flow rules::
2784
2785   flow flush {port_id}
2786
2787- Query an existing flow rule::
2788
2789   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
2790
2791- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
2792  identifiers::
2793
2794   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
2795
2796- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
2797
2798   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
2799
2800Validating flow rules
2801~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2802
2803``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
2804underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
2805bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
2806
2807   flow validate {port_id}
2808      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2809      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2810      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2811
2812If successful, it will show::
2813
2814   Flow rule validated
2815
2816Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
2817
2818   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2819
2820This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
2821described in `Creating flow rules`_.
2822
2823Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
2824index 6 is supported::
2825
2826   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
2827      actions queue index 6 / end
2828   Flow rule validated
2829   testpmd>
2830
2831Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
2832
2833   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
2834      actions drop / end
2835   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
2836   testpmd>
2837
2838Creating flow rules
2839~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2840
2841``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
2842to ``rte_flow_create()``::
2843
2844   flow create {port_id}
2845      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2846      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2847      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2848
2849If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
2850
2851   Flow rule #[...] created
2852
2853Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
2854
2855   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2856
2857Parameters describe in the following order:
2858
2859- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress* tokens).
2860- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
2861  *end* pattern item.
2862- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
2863  action.
2864
2865These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
2866underlying functions.
2867
2868The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
2869
2870   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
2871
2872Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
2873one.
2874
2875**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
2876
2877Attributes
2878^^^^^^^^^^
2879
2880These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
2881specified before the ``pattern`` token.
2882
2883- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
2884- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
2885- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
2886- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
2887
2888Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
2889value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
2890
2891   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
2892
2893Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
2894
2895While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
2896simultaneously.
2897
2898Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
2899
2900   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
2901
2902Matching pattern
2903^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2904
2905A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
2906items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
2907
2908Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
2909rte_flow_item_type``).
2910
2911The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
2912below::
2913
2914   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
2915
2916Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
2917layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
2918unlikely to match any packet::
2919
2920   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
2921
2922More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
2923documentation.
2924
2925Several items support additional specification structures, for example
2926``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
2927
2928   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
2929      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
2930
2931This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
2932
2933In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
2934``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
2935in a similar fashion.
2936
2937The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
2938and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
2939accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
2940
2941- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
2942- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
2943- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
2944- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
2945- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask from a prefix length.
2946
2947These yield identical results::
2948
2949   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
2950
2951::
2952
2953   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
2954
2955::
2956
2957   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
2958
2959::
2960
2961   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
2962
2963::
2964
2965   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
2966
2967Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
2968
2969   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
2970
2971Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
2972
2973   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
2974      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
2975
2976Properties can be modified multiple times::
2977
2978   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
2979
2980::
2981
2982   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
2983

3097
3098Actions list
3099^^^^^^^^^^^^
3100
3101A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3102`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3103terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3104
3105Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3106rte_flow_action_type``).
3107
3108Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3109
3110   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3111      actions drop / end
3112
3113Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3114there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3115queue index.
3116
3117This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3118
3119   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3120      actions queue index 6 / end
3121
3122While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3123
3124   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3125      actions queue / end
3126
3127As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3128rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3129
3130   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3131
3132::
3133
3134   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3135
3136All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3137action of a given type is taken into account::
3138
3139   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3140
3141::
3142
3143   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3144
3145::
3146
3147   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3148
3149Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3150actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3151
3152   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3153
3154::
3155
3156   drop / dup index 6 / end # same as above
3157
3158::
3159
3160   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3161
3162::
3163
3164   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3165
3166Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
3167
3168Actions
3169^^^^^^^
3170
3171This section lists supported actions and their attributes, if any.
3172
3173- ``end``: end list of actions.
3174
3175- ``void``: no-op action.
3176
3177- ``passthru``: let subsequent rule process matched packets.
3178
3179- ``mark``: attach 32 bit value to packets.
3180
3181  - ``id {unsigned}``: 32 bit value to return with packets.
3182
3183- ``flag``: flag packets.
3184
3185- ``queue``: assign packets to a given queue index.
3186
3187  - ``index {unsigned}``: queue index to use.
3188
3189- ``drop``: drop packets (note: passthru has priority).
3190
3191- ``count``: enable counters for this rule.
3192
3193- ``dup``: duplicate packets to a given queue index.
3194
3195  - ``index {unsigned}``: queue index to duplicate packets to.
3196
3197- ``rss``: spread packets among several queues.
3198
3199  - ``queues [{unsigned} [...]] end``: queue indices to use.
3200
3201- ``pf``: redirect packets to physical device function.
3202
3203- ``vf``: redirect packets to virtual device function.
3204
3205  - ``original {boolean}``: use original VF ID if possible.
3206  - ``id {unsigned}``: VF ID to redirect packets to.
3207
3208Destroying flow rules
3209~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3210
3211``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
3212by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
3213times as necessary::
3214
3215   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3216
3217If successful, it will show::
3218
3219   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
3220
3221It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
3222message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
3223
3224   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3225
3226``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
3227arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
3228
3229   flow flush {port_id}
3230
3231Any errors are reported as above.
3232
3233Creating several rules and destroying them::
3234
3235   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3236      actions queue index 2 / end
3237   Flow rule #0 created
3238   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3239      actions queue index 3 / end
3240   Flow rule #1 created
3241   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
3242   Flow rule #1 destroyed
3243   Flow rule #0 destroyed
3244   testpmd>
3245
3246The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
3247
3248   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3249      actions queue index 2 / end
3250   Flow rule #0 created
3251   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3252      actions queue index 3 / end
3253   Flow rule #1 created
3254   testpmd> flow flush 0
3255   testpmd>
3256
3257Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
3258
3259   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3260      actions queue index 2 / end
3261   Flow rule #0 created
3262   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3263      actions queue index 3 / end
3264   Flow rule #1 created
3265   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
3266   testpmd>
3267   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
3268   Flow rule #0 destroyed
3269   testpmd>

3271Querying flow rules
3272~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3273
3274``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
3275ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
3276command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
3277
3278   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3279
3280If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
3281or the following message::
3282
3283   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
3284
3285Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
3286error occurred::
3287
3288   Flow rule #[...] not found
3289
3290::
3291
3292   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3293
3294Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
3295number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
3296output has the following format::
3297
3298   count:
3299    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
3300    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
3301    hits: [...] # number of packets
3302    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
3303
3304Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
3305
3306   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3307      actions queue index 6 / count / end
3308   Flow rule #4 created
3309   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
3310   count:
3311    hits_set: 1
3312    bytes_set: 0
3313    hits: 386446
3314    bytes: 0
3315   testpmd>
3316
3317Listing flow rules
3318~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3319
3320``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
3321filtered by group identifiers::
3322
3323   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3324
3325This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
3326exist::
3327
3328   Invalid port [...]
3329
3330Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
3331flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
3332configured on the device::
3333
3334   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3335   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
3336
3337``Attr`` column flags:
3338
3339- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
3340- ``e`` for ``egress``.
3341
3342Creating several flow rules and listing them::
3343
3344   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3345      actions queue index 6 / end
3346   Flow rule #0 created
3347   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3348      actions queue index 2 / end
3349   Flow rule #1 created
3350   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3351      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
3352   Flow rule #2 created
3353   testpmd> flow list 0
3354   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3355   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
3356   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
3357   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
3358   testpmd>
3359
3360Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
3361
3362   testpmd> flow list 1
3363   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3364   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
3365   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
3366   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
3367   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
3368   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
3369   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
3370   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
3371   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
3372   testpmd>
3373
3374Output can be limited to specific groups::
3375
3376   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
3377   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3378   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
3379   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
3380   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
3381   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
3382   testpmd>
3383
3384Toggling isolated mode
3385~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3386
3387``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
3388must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
3389is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
3390resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
3391
3392 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3393
3394If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
3395
3396 Ingress traffic on port [...]
3397    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
3398
3399Or::
3400
3401 Ingress traffic on port [...]
3402    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
3403
3404Otherwise, in case of error::
3405
3406   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3407
3408Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
3409ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
3410first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
3411
3412Enabling isolated mode::
3413
3414 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
3415 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
3416 testpmd>
3417
3418Disabling isolated mode::
3419
3420 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
3421 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
3422 testpmd>
3423
3424Sample QinQ flow rules
3425~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3426
3427Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
3428
3429   testpmd> port stop 0
3430   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
3431
3432The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
3433
3434To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
3435
3436   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
3437   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
3438   testpmd> port start 0
3439
3440Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
3441
3442::
3443
3444   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
3445       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
3446   Flow rule #0 validated
3447
3448   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
3449       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 123 / queue index 0 / end
3450   Flow rule #0 created
3451
3452   testpmd> flow list 0
3453   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3454   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
3455
3456Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
3457
3458::
3459
3460   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
3461        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end
3462   Flow rule #1 validated
3463
3464   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
3465        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 1 / end
3466   Flow rule #1 created
3467
3468   testpmd> flow list 0
3469   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3470   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
3471   1       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>PF QUEUE
