6Testpmd Runtime Functions
7=========================
8
9Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
10it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
11configure the application, display statistics (including the extended NIC
12statistics aka xstats) , set the Flow Director and other tasks::
13
14   testpmd>
15
16The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
17Common bash command-line functions such as ``Ctrl+a`` and ``Ctrl+e`` to go to the start and end of the prompt line are supported
18as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
19
20There is also support for tab completion.
21If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
22
23.. code-block:: console
24
25   testpmd> show port <TAB>
26
27       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap X
28       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap all
29       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap X
30       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap all
31       ...
32
33
34.. note::
35
36   Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
37
38      testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
39               (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
40
41In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
42
43Help Functions
44--------------
45
46The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
47These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
48
49.. code-block:: console
50
51   testpmd> help
52       Help is available for the following sections:
53
54           help control                    : Start and stop forwarding.
55           help display                    : Displaying port, stats and config information.

64Command File Functions
65----------------------
66
67To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
68practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
69
70* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
71  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
72  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
73
74.. code-block:: console
75
76   ./dpdk-testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

95
96
97* At run-time additional commands can be loaded in bulk by invoking the ``load FILENAME``
98  command.
99
100.. code-block:: console
101
102   testpmd> load /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
103   Flow rule #0 created

109   Read all CLI commands from /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
110   testpmd>
111
112
113In all cases output from any included command will be displayed as standard output.
114Execution will continue until the end of the file is reached regardless of
115whether any errors occur.  The end user must examine the output to determine if
116any failures occurred.

308   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
309   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
310   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
311   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
312   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
313   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
314
315set fwd
316~~~~~~~
317
318Set the packet forwarding mode::
319
320   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
321                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap|shared-rxq) (""|retry)
322
323``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
324
325The available information categories are:
326
327* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
328  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
329  This is the default mode.
330
331* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
332  Default application behavior is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
333  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
334  'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
335
336* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
337  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
338
339* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
340  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
341
342* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
343
344* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
345
346* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
347
348* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
349
350* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX.
351
352* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
353  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
354  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
355
356* ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
357
358  L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
359
360  L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
361
362  L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
363
364* ``shared-rxq``: Receive only for shared Rx queue.
365  Resolve packet source port from mbuf and update stream statistics accordingly.
366
367Example::
368
369   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
370
371   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
372
373
374show fwd
375~~~~~~~~
376
377When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.
378Example for the io forwarding engine, with some packet drops on the tx side::
379
380   testpmd> show fwd stats all

648Configuration Functions
649-----------------------
650
651The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
652
653This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
654
655.. note::
656
657   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
658

662Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
663
664   testpmd> set default
665
666set verbose
667~~~~~~~~~~~
668
669Set the debug verbosity level::
670
671   testpmd> set verbose (level)
672
673Available levels are as following:
674
675* ``0`` silent except for error.
676* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
677* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
678* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
679

681~~~~~~~
682
683Set the log level for a log type::
684
685	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
686
687Where:
688
689* ``type`` is the log name.
690
691* ``level`` is the log level.
692
693For example, to change the global log level::
694
695	testpmd> set log global (level)
696
697Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
698
699	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
700
701set nbport
702~~~~~~~~~~
703
704Set the number of ports used by the application:
705
706set nbport (num)
707
708This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
709
710set nbcore
711~~~~~~~~~~
712
713Set the number of cores used by the application::
714
715   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
716
717This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
718
719.. note::
720
721   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
722
723set coremask
724~~~~~~~~~~~~
725
726Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
727
728   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
729
730This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
731
732.. note::
733
734   The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
735
736set portmask
737~~~~~~~~~~~~
738
739Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
740
741   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
742
743This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
744
745set record-core-cycles
746~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
747
748Set the recording of CPU cycles::
749
750   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
751
752Where:
753
754* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
755
756* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
757
758This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
759
760set record-burst-stats
761~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
762
763Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
764
765   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
766
767Where:
768
769* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
770
771* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
772
773This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
774
775set burst
776~~~~~~~~~
777
778Set number of packets per burst::
779
780   testpmd> set burst (num)
781
782This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
783
784When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
785
786   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
787
788set rxoffs
789~~~~~~~~~~
790
791Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
792if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
793offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
794
795   testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
796
797Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
798of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
799for the remaining segments.
800
801set rxpkts
802~~~~~~~~~~
803
804Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
805feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
806(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
807pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
808to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
809mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
810from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
811mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
812
813   testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
814
815Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
816means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
817
818set rxhdrs
819~~~~~~~~~~
820
821Set the protocol headers of segments to scatter packets on receiving
822if split feature is engaged.
823Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
824(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
825
826   testpmd> set rxhdrs (eth[,ipv4]*)
827
828Where eth[,ipv4]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
829If the list of offsets is shorter than the list of segments,
830zero offsets will be used for the remaining segments.
831
832set txpkts
833~~~~~~~~~~
834
835Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
836
837   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
838
839Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
840
841set txtimes
842~~~~~~~~~~~
843
844Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
845the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
846timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
847application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
848to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
849and between the packets within the burst::
850
851   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
852
853where:
854
855* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
856  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
857  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
858  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
859  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
860  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
861  on timestamps is disabled (default).
862
863* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
864  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
865  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
866  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
867
868As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
869delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
870the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
871and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
872and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
873rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
874
875set txsplit
876~~~~~~~~~~~
877
878Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
879
880   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
881
882Where:
883
884* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
885
886* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
887  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
888  (see above).
889
890* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
891
892set corelist
893~~~~~~~~~~~~
894
895Set the list of forwarding cores::
896
897   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
898
899For example, to change the forwarding cores:
900
901.. code-block:: console
902
903   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
904   testpmd> show config fwd
905
906   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
907   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
908   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
909   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
910   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
911
912.. note::

924
925.. code-block:: console
926
927   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
928   testpmd> show config fwd
929
930   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
931   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
932   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
933   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
934   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03
935   RX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:02

1088Disable hardware insertion of a VLAN header in packets sent on a port::
1089
1090   testpmd> tx_vlan reset (port_id)
1091
1092csum set
1093~~~~~~~~
1094
1095Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
1096transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1097
1098   testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip|outer-udp) (hw|sw) (port_id)
1099
1100Where:
1101
1102* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
1103
1104* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
1105  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gre, gtp, ipip, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1106  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1107
1108* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
1109  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gtp, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1110  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1111
1112.. note::
1113
1114   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
1115
1116csum parse-tunnel
1117~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1118
1119Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1120engine::
1121
1122   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1123
1124If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1125tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1126
1127If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1128header is handled as a packet payload).
1129
1130.. note::
1131
1132   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1133
1134Example:
1135
1136Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1137
1138   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1139
1140* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1141  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1142  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1143
1144* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1145   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1188
1189Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1190
1191   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1192
1193If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1194packets received from the given port.
1195
1196If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1197GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1198
1199.. note::
1200
1201   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1202   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1203   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1204   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1205   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1206   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1207   transmitted to.
1208
1209show port - gro
1210~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1211
1212Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1213
1214   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1215
1216set gro flush
1217~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1218
1219Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1220
1221   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1222
1223When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1224packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1225can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1226from the reassembly tables.
1227
1228The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1229engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1230operations.
1231
1232By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1233from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1234of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1235
1236Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1237stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1238stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1239
1240set port - gso
1241~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1242
1243Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1244
1245   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1246
1247If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1248packets, transmitted on the given port.
1249
1250If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1251By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1252
1253.. note::
1254
1255   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1256   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1257   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1258   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1259   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1260   GSO-enabled ports.
1261
1262   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1263   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1264
1265   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1266
1267   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1268
1269   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1270
1271   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1272   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1273   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1274   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1275   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1276   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1277
1278set gso segsz
1279~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1280
1281Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the

1758
1759Config Raw Encapsulation
1760~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1761
1762Configure the raw data to be used when encapsulating a packet by
1763rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1764
1765 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1766
1767There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1768internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1769If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1770
1771 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1772
1773the default index ``0`` is used.
1774In order to use different encapsulating header, ``index`` must be specified
1775during the flow rule creation::
1776
1777 testpmd> flow create 0 egress pattern eth / ipv4 / end actions
1778        raw_encap index 2 / end
1779
1780Otherwise the default index ``0`` is used.

1831Port Functions
1832--------------
1833
1834The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1835
1836.. note::
1837
1838   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1839
1840.. _port_attach:
1841
1842port attach
1843~~~~~~~~~~~
1844
1845Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1846
1847   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1848
1849To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1850Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1851Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1852
1853For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1854
1855.. code-block:: console
1856
1857   # Check the status of the available devices.
1858   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1859
1860   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1861   ============================================
1862   <none>
1863
1864   Network devices using kernel driver
1865   ===================================
1866   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1867
1868
1869   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1870   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1871
1872
1873   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1874   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1875   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1876   ============================================
1877   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1878
1879To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1880
1881For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1882
1883.. code-block:: console
1884
1885   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1886   Attaching a new port...
1887   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1888   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1889   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1890   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1891   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1892   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1893   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1894   Done
1895
1896For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1897
1898.. code-block:: console
1899
1900   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1901   Attaching a new port...
1902   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1903   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1904   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1905   Done
1906
1907In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1908This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1909
1910For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1911the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1912
1913.. code-block:: console
1914
1915   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1916   Attaching a new port...
1917   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1918   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1919   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1920   Done
1921
1922
1923port detach
1924~~~~~~~~~~~
1925
1926Detach a specific port::
1927
1928   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1929
1930Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1931
1932For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1933
1934.. code-block:: console
1935
1936   testpmd> port stop 0
1937   Stopping ports...
1938   Done
1939   testpmd> port close 0
1940   Closing ports...
1941   Done
1942
1943   testpmd> port detach 0
1944   Detaching a port...
1945   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1946   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1947   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1948   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1949   Done
1950
1951
1952For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1953
1954.. code-block:: console
1955
1956   testpmd> port stop 0
1957   Stopping ports...
1958   Done
1959   testpmd> port close 0
1960   Closing ports...
1961   Done
1962
1963   testpmd> port detach 0
1964   Detaching a port...
1965   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1966   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1967   Done
1968
1969To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1970Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1971Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1972
1973For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1974
1975.. code-block:: console
1976
1977   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1978

2265Device Functions
2266----------------
2267
2268The following sections show functions for device operations.
2269
2270device detach
2271~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2272
2273Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2274
2275   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2276
2277Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2278
2279For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2280
2281.. code-block:: console
2282
2283    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2284    Removing a device...
2285    Port 1 is now closed
2286    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2287    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2288    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2289    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2290    Now total ports is 1
2291
2292For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2293
2294.. code-block:: console
2295
2296    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2297    Removing a device...
2298    Port 0 is now closed
2299    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2300    Now total ports is 0
2301    Done
2302
2303In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2304This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2305

2874Congestion Management
2875---------------------
2876
2877Get capabilities
2878~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2879
2880Retrieve congestion management capabilities supported by driver for given port.
2881Below example command retrieves capabilities for port 0::
2882

2902
2903Filter Functions
2904----------------
2905
2906This section details the available filter functions that are available.
2907
2908Note these functions interface the deprecated legacy filtering framework,
2909superseded by *rte_flow*. See `Flow rules management`_.
2910
2911.. _testpmd_rte_flow:
2912
2913Flow rules management
2914---------------------
2915
2916Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
2917``flow`` command (configuration, validation, creation, destruction, queries
2918and operation modes).
2919
2920Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
2921features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
2922not recommended.
2923
2924``flow`` syntax
2925~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2926
2927Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
2928of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
2929other commands, in particular:
2930
2931- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
2932  token, not that of the entire command.
2933
2934- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
2935  in the contextual help).
2936
2937The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
2938their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the

3263It is bound to ``rte_flow_pull()``::
3264
3265   flow pull {port_id} queue {queue_id}
3266
3267If successful, it will show::
3268
3269   Queue #[...] pulled #[...] operations (#[...] failed, #[...] succeeded)
3270
3271The usual error message is shown when operations results cannot be pulled::
3272
3273   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3274
3275Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3276~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3277
3278``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3279
3280   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3281
3282If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3283
3284   port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3285
3286Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3287
3288Destroying tunnel offload stub
3289~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3290
3291``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3292
3293   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3294
3295Listing tunnel offload stubs
3296~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3297
3298``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3299
3300   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3301
3302Validating flow rules
3303~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3304
3305``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3306underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3307bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3308
3309   flow validate {port_id}
3310      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3311      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3312      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3313
3314If successful, it will show::
3315
3316   Flow rule validated
3317
3318Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3319
3320   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3321
3322This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3323described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3324
3325Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3326index 6 is supported::
3327
3328   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3329      actions queue index 6 / end
3330   Flow rule validated
3331   testpmd>
3332
3333Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3334
3335   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3336      actions drop / end
3337   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3338   testpmd>
3339
3340Creating flow rules
3341~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3342
3343``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3344to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3345
3346   flow create {port_id}
3347      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3348      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3349      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3350      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3351
3352If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3353
3354   Flow rule #[...] created
3355
3356Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3357
3358   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3359
3360Parameters describe in the following order:
3361
3362- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3363- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3364- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3365  *end* pattern item.
3366- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3367  action.
3368
3369These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3370underlying functions.
3371
3372The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3373
3374   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3375
3376Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3377one.
3378
3379**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3380
3381Enqueueing creation of flow rules
3382~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3383
3384``flow queue create`` adds creation operation of a flow rule to a queue.
3385It is bound to ``rte_flow_async_create()``::
3386
3387   flow queue {port_id} create {queue_id}
3388       [postpone {boolean}] template_table {table_id}
3389       pattern_template {pattern_template_index}
3390       actions_template {actions_template_index}
3391       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3392       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3393
3394If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3395
3396   Flow rule #[...] creaion enqueued
3397
3398Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3399
3400   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3401
3402This command uses the same pattern items and actions as ``flow create``,
3403their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3404
3405``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
3406
3407Attributes
3408^^^^^^^^^^
3409
3410These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3411specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3412
3413- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3414- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3415- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3416- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3417- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3418
3419Please note that use of ``transfer`` attribute requires that the flow and
3420its indirect components be managed via so-called ``transfer`` proxy port.
3421See `show flow transfer proxy port ID for the given port`_ for details.
3422
3423Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3424value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3425
3426   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3427
3428Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3429
3430While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3431simultaneously.
3432
3433Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3434
3435   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3436
3437Tunnel offload
3438^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3439
3440Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3441
3442- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3443- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunnel offload match type.
3444
3445Matching pattern
3446^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3447
3448A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3449items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3450
3451Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3452rte_flow_item_type``).
3453
3454The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3455below::
3456
3457   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3458
3459Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3460layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3461unlikely to match any packet::
3462
3463   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3464
3465More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3466documentation.
3467
3468Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3469``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3470
3471   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3472      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3473
3474This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3475
3476In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3477``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3478in a similar fashion.
3479
3480The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3481and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3482accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3483
3484- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3485- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3486- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3487- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3488- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3489
3490These yield identical results::
3491
3492   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3493
3494::
3495
3496   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3497
3498::
3499
3500   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3501
3502::
3503
3504   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3505
3506::
3507
3508   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3509
3510Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3511
3512   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3513
3514Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3515
3516   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3517      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3518
3519Properties can be modified multiple times::
3520
3521   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3522
3523::
3524
3525   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3526

3802
3803Actions list
3804^^^^^^^^^^^^
3805
3806A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3807`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3808terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3809
3810Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3811rte_flow_action_type``).
3812
3813Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3814
3815   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3816      actions drop / end
3817
3818Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3819there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3820queue index.
3821
3822This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3823
3824   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3825      actions queue index 6 / end
3826
3827While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3828
3829   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3830      actions queue / end
3831
3832As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3833rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3834
3835   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3836
3837::
3838
3839   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3840
3841All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3842action of a given type is taken into account::
3843
3844   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3845
3846::
3847
3848   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3849
3850::
3851
3852   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3853
3854Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3855actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3856
3857   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3858
3859::
3860
3861   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3862
3863::
3864
3865   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3866
3867Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
3868

4091Destroying flow rules
4092~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4093
4094``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4095by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4096times as necessary::
4097
4098   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4099
4100If successful, it will show::
4101
4102   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4103
4104It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4105message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4106
4107   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4108
4109``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4110arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4111
4112   flow flush {port_id}
4113
4114Any errors are reported as above.
4115
4116Creating several rules and destroying them::
4117
4118   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4119      actions queue index 2 / end
4120   Flow rule #0 created
4121   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4122      actions queue index 3 / end
4123   Flow rule #1 created
4124   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4125   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4126   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4127   testpmd>
4128
4129The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4130
4131   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4132      actions queue index 2 / end
4133   Flow rule #0 created
4134   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4135      actions queue index 3 / end
4136   Flow rule #1 created
4137   testpmd> flow flush 0
4138   testpmd>
4139
4140Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4141
4142   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4143      actions queue index 2 / end
4144   Flow rule #0 created
4145   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4146      actions queue index 3 / end
4147   Flow rule #1 created
4148   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4149   testpmd>
4150   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4151   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4152   testpmd>
4153
4154Enqueueing destruction of flow rules
4155~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4156
4157``flow queue destroy`` adds destruction operations to destroy one or more rules
4158from their rule ID (as returned by ``flow queue create``) to a queue,
4159this command calls ``rte_flow_async_destroy()`` as many times as necessary::
4160
4161   flow queue {port_id} destroy {queue_id}
4162        [postpone {boolean}] rule {rule_id} [...]
4163
4164If successful, it will show::
4165
4166   Flow rule #[...] destruction enqueued
4167
4168It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4169message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4170
4171   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4172
4173``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
4174
4175Querying flow rules
4176~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4177
4178``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4179ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4180command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4181
4182   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4183
4184If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4185or the following message::
4186
4187   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4188
4189Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4190error occurred::
4191
4192   Flow rule #[...] not found
4193
4194::
4195
4196   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4197
4198Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4199number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4200output has the following format::
4201
4202   count:
4203    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4204    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4205    hits: [...] # number of packets
4206    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4207
4208Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4209
4210   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4211      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4212   Flow rule #4 created
4213   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4214   count:
4215    hits_set: 1
4216    bytes_set: 0
4217    hits: 386446
4218    bytes: 0
4219   testpmd>
4220
4221Listing flow rules
4222~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4223
4224``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4225filtered by group identifiers::
4226
4227   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4228
4229This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4230exist::
4231
4232   Invalid port [...]
4233
4234Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4235flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4236configured on the device::
4237
4238   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4239   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4240
4241``Attr`` column flags:
4242
4243- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4244- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4245
4246Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4247
4248   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4249      actions queue index 6 / end
4250   Flow rule #0 created
4251   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4252      actions queue index 2 / end
4253   Flow rule #1 created
4254   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4255      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4256   Flow rule #2 created
4257   testpmd> flow list 0
4258   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4259   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4260   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4261   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4262   testpmd>
4263
4264Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4265
4266   testpmd> flow list 1
4267   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4268   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4269   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4270   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4271   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4272   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4273   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4274   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4275   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4276   testpmd>
4277
4278Output can be limited to specific groups::
4279
4280   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4281   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4282   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4283   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4284   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4285   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4286   testpmd>
4287
4288Toggling isolated mode
4289~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4290
4291``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4292must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4293is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4294resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4295
4296 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4297
4298If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4299
4300 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4301    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4302
4303Or::
4304
4305 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4306    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4307
4308Otherwise, in case of error::
4309
4310   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4311
4312Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4313ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4314first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4315
4316Enabling isolated mode::
4317
4318 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4319 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4320 testpmd>
4321
4322Disabling isolated mode::
4323
4324 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4325 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4326 testpmd>
4327
4328Dumping HW internal information
4329~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4330
4331``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4332all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4333
4334   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4335
4336If successful, it will show::
4337
4338   Flow dump finished
4339
4340Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4341
4342   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]

4344Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4345~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4346
4347``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4348and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD::
4349
4350   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4351
4352Listing current aged flow rules::
4353
4354   testpmd> flow aged 0
4355   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4356   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end

4368
4369
4370Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4371information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4372those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4373will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4374
4375   testpmd> flow aged 0

5080
5081NIC-RX Sampling rule, the matched ingress packets and sent to the queue 1,
5082and 50% packets are duplicated and marked with 0x1234 and sent to queue 0.
5083
5084::
5085

5087 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress group 1 pattern eth / end actions
5088        sample ratio 2 index 0 / queue index 1 / end
5089
5090Match packets coming from a VM which is referred to by means of
5091its representor ethdev (port 1), mirror 50% of them to the
5092said representor (for bookkeeping) as well as encapsulate
5093all the packets and steer them to the physical port:
5094
5095::
5096
5097   testpmd> set sample_actions 0 port_representor ethdev_port_id 1 / end
5098
5099   testpmd> set vxlan ip-version ipv4 vni 4 udp-src 32 udp-dst 4789 ip-src 127.0.0.1

5104      represented_port ethdev_port_id 0 / end
5105
5106The rule is inserted via port 0 (assumed to have "transfer" privilege).
5107
5108Sample integrity rules
5109~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5110
5111Integrity rules can be created by the following commands:
5112
5113Integrity rule that forwards valid TCP packets to group 1.
5114TCP packet integrity is matched with the ``l4_ok`` bit 3.
5115
5116::
5117
5118 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress
5119            pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / integrity value mask 8 value spec 8 / end
5120            actions jump group 1 / end
5121
5122Integrity rule that forwards invalid packets to application.
5123General packet integrity is matched with the ``packet_ok`` bit 0.
5124
5125::
5126
5127 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern integrity value mask 1 value spec 0 / end actions queue index 0 / end
5128
5129Sample conntrack rules
5130~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5131
5132Conntrack rules can be set by the following commands
5133
5134Need to construct the connection context with provided information.
5135In the first table, create a flow rule by using conntrack action and jump to
5136the next table. In the next table, create a rule to check the state.
5137
5138::
5139
5140 testpmd> set conntrack com peer 1 is_orig 1 enable 1 live 1 sack 1 cack 0
5141        last_dir 0 liberal 0 state 1 max_ack_win 7 r_lim 5 last_win 510
5142        last_seq 2632987379 last_ack 2532480967 last_end 2632987379
5143        last_index 0x8
5144 testpmd> set conntrack orig scale 7 fin 0 acked 1 unack_data 0
5145        sent_end 2632987379 reply_end 2633016339 max_win 28960
5146        max_ack 2632987379

5148        sent_end 2532480967 reply_end 2532546247 max_win 65280
5149        max_ack 2532480967
5150 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create ingress action conntrack / end
5151 testpmd> flow create 0 group 3 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / end actions indirect 0 / jump group 5 / end
5152 testpmd> flow create 0 group 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / conntrack is 1 / end actions queue index 5 / end
5153
5154Construct the conntrack again with only "is_orig" set to 0 (other fields are
5155ignored), then use "update" interface to update the direction. Create flow

5162Sample meter with policy rules
5163~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5164
5165Meter with policy rules can be created by the following commands:
5166
5167Need to create policy first and actions are set for green/yellow/red colors.
5168Create meter with policy id. Create flow with meter id.
5169
5170Example for policy with meter color action. The purpose is to color the packet
5171to reflect the meter color result.
5172The meter policy action list: ``green -> green, yellow -> yellow, red -> red``.
5173

5234BPF Functions
5235--------------
5236
5237The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5238
5239bpf-load
5240~~~~~~~~
5241
5242Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5243
5244   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5245
5246The available load-flags are:
5247
5248* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5249
5250* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5251
5252* ``-``: none.
5253
5254.. note::
5255
5256   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5257
5258For example:
5259
5260.. code-block:: console
5261
5262   cd examples/bpf
5263   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5264
5265Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5266
5267.. code-block:: console
5268
5269   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5270
5271To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5272
5273.. code-block:: console
5274
5275   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5276
5277bpf-unload
5278~~~~~~~~~~
5279
5280Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5281
5282   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5283
5284For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5285
5286.. code-block:: console
5287
5288   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5289
5290Flex Item Functions
5291-------------------
5292
5293The following sections show functions that configure and create flex item object,
5294create flex pattern and use it in a flow rule.
5295The commands will use 20 bytes IPv4 header for examples:
5296
5297::
5298
5299   0                   1                   2                   3

5314Create flex item
5315~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5316
5317Flex item object is created by PMD according to a new header configuration. The
5318header configuration is compiled by the testpmd and stored in
5319``rte_flow_item_flex_conf`` type variable.
5320
5321::
5322
5323   # flow flex_item create <port> <flex id> <configuration file>
5324   testpmd> flow flex_item init 0 3 ipv4_flex_config.json
5325   port-0: created flex item #3
5326
5327Flex item configuration is kept in external JSON file.
5328It describes the following header elements:
5329
5330**New header length.**
5331
5332Specify whether the new header has fixed or variable length and the basic/minimal
5333header length value.
5334
5335If header length is not fixed, header location with a value that completes header
5336length calculation and scale/offset function must be added.
5337
5338Scale function depends on port hardware.
5339
5340**Next protocol.**
5341
5342Describes location in the new header that specify following network header type.
5343
5344**Flow match samples.**
5345
5346Describes locations in the new header that will be used in flow rules.
5347
5348Number of flow samples and sample maximal length depend of port hardware.
5349
5350**Input trigger.**
5351
5352Describes preceding network header configuration.
5353
5354**Output trigger.**
5355
5356Describes conditions that trigger transfer to following network header
5357
5358.. code-block:: json

5381Flex pattern and flow rules
5382~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5383
5384Flex pattern describe parts of network header that will trigger flex flow item hit in a flow rule.
5385Flex pattern directly related to flex item samples configuration.
5386Flex pattern can be shared between ports.
5387
5388**Flex pattern and flow rule to match IPv4 version and 20 bytes length**
5389
5390::
5391
5392   # set flex_pattern <pattern_id> is <hex bytes sequence>
5393   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 5 is 45FF
5394   created pattern #5
5395
5396   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / flex item is 3 pattern is 5 / end actions mark id 1 / queue index 0 / end
5397   Flow rule #0 created
5398
5399**Flex pattern and flow rule to match packets with source address 1.2.3.4**
5400
5401::
5402
5403   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 2 spec 45000000000000000000000001020304 mask FF0000000000000000000000FFFFFFFF
