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|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
28       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
29       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
30       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|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
53       help control    : Start and stop forwarding.
54       help display    : Displaying port, stats and config information.
55       help config     : Configuration information.
56       help ports      : Configuring ports.
57       help registers  : Reading and setting port registers.
58       help filters    : Filters configuration help.
59       help all        : All of the above sections.

62Command File Functions
63----------------------
64
65To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
66practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
67
68* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
69  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
70  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
71
72.. code-block:: console
73
74   ./dpdk-testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

109
110
111In all cases output from any included command will be displayed as standard output.
112Execution will continue until the end of the file is reached regardless of
113whether any errors occur.  The end user must examine the output to determine if
114any failures occurred.

300   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
301   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
302   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
303   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
304   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
305   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
306   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
307
308set fwd
309~~~~~~~
310
311Set the packet forwarding mode::
312
313   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
314                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap) (""|retry)
315
316``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
317
318The available information categories are:
319
320* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
321  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
322  This is the default mode.
323
324* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
325  Default application behavior is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
326  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
327  'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
328
329* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
330  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
331
332* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
333  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
334
335* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
336
337* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
338
339* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
340
341* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
342
343* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX.
344
345* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
346  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
347  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
348
349* ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
350
351  L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
352
353  L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
354
355  L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
356
357Example::
358
359   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
360
361   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
362
363
364show fwd
365~~~~~~~~
366
367When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.

636Configuration Functions
637-----------------------
638
639The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
640
641This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
642
643.. note::
644
645   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
646
647set default
648~~~~~~~~~~~
649
650Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
651
652   testpmd> set default
653
654set verbose
655~~~~~~~~~~~
656
657Set the debug verbosity level::
658
659   testpmd> set verbose (level)
660
661Available levels are as following:
662
663* ``0`` silent except for error.
664* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
665* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
666* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
667
668set log
669~~~~~~~
670
671Set the log level for a log type::
672
673	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
674
675Where:
676
677* ``type`` is the log name.
678
679* ``level`` is the log level.
680
681For example, to change the global log level::
682
683	testpmd> set log global (level)
684
685Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
686
687	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
688
689set nbport
690~~~~~~~~~~
691
692Set the number of ports used by the application:
693
694set nbport (num)
695
696This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
697
698set nbcore
699~~~~~~~~~~
700
701Set the number of cores used by the application::
702
703   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
704
705This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
706
707.. note::
708
709   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
710
711set coremask
712~~~~~~~~~~~~
713
714Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
715
716   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
717
718This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
719
720.. note::
721
722   The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
723
724set portmask
725~~~~~~~~~~~~
726
727Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
728
729   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
730
731This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
732
733set record-core-cycles
734~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
735
736Set the recording of CPU cycles::
737
738   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
739
740Where:
741
742* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
743
744* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
745
746This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
747
748set record-burst-stats
749~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
750
751Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
752
753   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
754
755Where:
756
757* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
758
759* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
760
761This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
762
763set burst
764~~~~~~~~~
765
766Set number of packets per burst::
767
768   testpmd> set burst (num)
769
770This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
771
772When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
773
774   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
775
776set rxoffs
777~~~~~~~~~~
778
779Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
780if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
781offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
782
783   testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
784
785Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
786of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
787for the remaining segments.
788
789set rxpkts
790~~~~~~~~~~
791
792Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
793feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
794(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
795pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
796to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
797mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
798from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
799mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
800
801   testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
802
803Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
804means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
805
806set txpkts
807~~~~~~~~~~
808
809Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
810
811   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
812
813Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
814
815set txtimes
816~~~~~~~~~~~
817
818Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
819the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
820timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
821application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
822to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
823and between the packets within the burst::
824
825   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
826
827where:
828
829* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
830  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
831  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
832  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
833  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
834  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
835  on timestamps is disabled (default).
836
837* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
838  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
839  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
840  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
841
842As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
843delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
844the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
845and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
846and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
847rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
848
849set txsplit
850~~~~~~~~~~~
851
852Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
853
854   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
855
856Where:
857
858* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
859
860* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
861  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
862  (see above).
863
864* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
865
866set corelist
867~~~~~~~~~~~~
868
869Set the list of forwarding cores::
870
871   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
872
873For example, to change the forwarding cores:
874
875.. code-block:: console
876
877   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
878   testpmd> show config fwd
879
880   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
881   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
882   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
883   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
884   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
885
886.. note::

888   The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
889
890set portlist
891~~~~~~~~~~~~
892
893Set the list of forwarding ports::
894
895   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)

897For example, to change the port forwarding:
898
899.. code-block:: console
900
901   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
902   testpmd> show config fwd
903
904   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
905   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
906   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
907   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
908   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03

1132  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gre, gtp, ipip, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1133  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1134
1135* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
1136  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gtp, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1137  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1138
1139.. note::
1140
1141   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
1142

1149		queue_start_index (value) queue_num (value)
1150
1151Set flowtype mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::
1152
1153   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) flowtype (value)
1154

1166   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region flush (on|off)
1167
1168where:
1169
1170* ``on``: is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
1171  it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
1172  at first will only keep in DPDK software stored in driver,
1173  only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.
1174
1175* ``"off``: is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
1176  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
1177
1178Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
1179
1180   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
1181
1182.. note::
1183
1184  Queue region only support on PF by now, so these command is
1185  only for configuration of queue region on PF port.
1186
1187csum parse-tunnel
1188~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1189
1190Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1191engine::
1192
1193   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1194
1195If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1196tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1197
1198If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1199header is handled as a packet payload).
1200
1201.. note::
1202
1203   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1204
1205Example:
1206
1207Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1208
1209   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1210
1211* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1212  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1213  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1214
1215* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1216   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1257set port - gro
1258~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1259
1260Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1261
1262   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1263
1264If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1265packets received from the given port.
1266
1267If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1268GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1269
1270.. note::
1271
1272   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1273   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1274   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1275   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1276   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1277   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1278   transmitted to.
1279
1280show port - gro
1281~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1282
1283Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1284
1285   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1286
1287set gro flush
1288~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1289
1290Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1291
1292   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1293
1294When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1295packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1296can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1297from the reassembly tables.
1298
1299The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1300engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1301operations.
1302
1303By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1304from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1305of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1306
1307Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1308stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1309stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1310
1311set port - gso
1312~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1313
1314Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1315
1316   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1317
1318If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1319packets, transmitted on the given port.
1320
1321If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1322By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1323
1324.. note::
1325
1326   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1327   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1328   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1329   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1330   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1331   GSO-enabled ports.
1332
1333   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1334   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1335
1336   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1337
1338   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1339
1340   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1341
1342   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1343   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1344   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1345   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1346   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1347   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1348
1349set gso segsz

2002Port Functions
2003--------------
2004
2005The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
2006
2007.. note::
2008
2009   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
2010
2011port attach
2012~~~~~~~~~~~
2013
2014Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2015
2016   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
2017
2018To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
2019Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
2020Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
2021
2022For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
2023
2024.. code-block:: console
2025
2026   # Check the status of the available devices.
2027   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2028
2029   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2030   ============================================
2031   <none>
2032
2033   Network devices using kernel driver
2034   ===================================
2035   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
2036
2037
2038   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
2039   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
2040
2041
2042   # Recheck the status of the devices.
2043   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2044   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2045   ============================================
2046   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
2047
2048To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2049
2050For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
2051
2052.. code-block:: console
2053
2054   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
2055   Attaching a new port...
2056   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2057   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2058   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2059   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2060   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
2061   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
2062   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2063   Done
2064
2065For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
2066
2067.. code-block:: console
2068
2069   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
2070   Attaching a new port...
2071   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
2072   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
2073   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2074   Done
2075
2076In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2077This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2078
2079For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
2080the mode and slave parameters must be given.
2081
2082.. code-block:: console
2083
2084   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
2085   Attaching a new port...
2086   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
2087   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
2088   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2089   Done
2090
2091
2092port detach
2093~~~~~~~~~~~
2094
2095Detach a specific port::
2096
2097   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
2098
2099Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
2100
2101For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
2102
2103.. code-block:: console
2104
2105   testpmd> port stop 0
2106   Stopping ports...
2107   Done
2108   testpmd> port close 0
2109   Closing ports...
2110   Done
2111
2112   testpmd> port detach 0
2113   Detaching a port...
2114   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2115   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd

2117   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2118   Done
2119
2120
2121For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2122
2123.. code-block:: console
2124
2125   testpmd> port stop 0
2126   Stopping ports...
2127   Done
2128   testpmd> port close 0
2129   Closing ports...
2130   Done
2131
2132   testpmd> port detach 0
2133   Detaching a port...
2134   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2135   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2136   Done
2137
2138To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2139Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2140Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2141
2142For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2143
2144.. code-block:: console
2145
2146   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2147
2148   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

2259
2260Enable or disable packet drop on all RX queues of all ports when no receive buffers available::
2261
2262   testpmd> port config all drop-en (on|off)
2263
2264Packet dropping when no receive buffers available is off by default.
2265
2266The ``on`` option is equivalent to the ``--enable-drop-en`` command-line option.
2267
2268port config - RSS
2269~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2270
2271Set the RSS (Receive Side Scaling) mode on or off::

2274
2275RSS is on by default.
2276
2277The ``all`` option is equivalent to eth|vlan|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|l2tpv3|esp|ah|pfcp.
2278
2279The ``default`` option enables all supported RSS types reported by device info.
2280

2297The traffic class should be 4 or 8.
2298
2299port config - Burst
2300~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2301
2302Set the number of packets per burst::
2303
2304   testpmd> port config all burst (value)
2305
2306This is equivalent to the ``--burst`` command-line option.
2307
2308port config - Threshold
2309~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2310
2311Set thresholds for TX/RX queues::
2312
2313   testpmd> port config all (threshold) (value)
2314
2315Where the threshold type can be:
2316
2317* ``txpt:`` Set the prefetch threshold register of the TX rings, 0 <= value <= 255.
2318
2319* ``txht:`` Set the host threshold register of the TX rings, 0 <= value <= 255.
2320

2398
2399port config dynf
2400~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2401
2402Set/clear dynamic flag per port.
2403testpmd will register this flag in the mbuf (same registration
2404for both Tx and Rx). Then set/clear this flag for each Tx
2405packet sent from this port. The set bit only works for Tx packet::
2406

2429Device Functions
2430----------------
2431
2432The following sections show functions for device operations.
2433
2434device detach
2435~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2436
2437Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2438
2439   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2440
2441Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2442
2443For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2444
2445.. code-block:: console
2446
2447    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2448    Removing a device...
2449    Port 1 is now closed
2450    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2451    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2452    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2453    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2454    Now total ports is 1
2455
2456For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2457
2458.. code-block:: console
2459
2460    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2461    Removing a device...
2462    Port 0 is now closed
2463    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2464    Now total ports is 0
2465    Done
2466
2467In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2468This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2469
2470Link Bonding Functions
2471----------------------
2472
2473The Link Bonding functions make it possible to dynamically create and
2474manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.

2492
2493   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2494
2495For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2496
2497   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2498
2499
2500remove bonding slave
2501~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2502
2503Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2504
2505   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2506
2507For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::

2550
2551For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2552
2553   testpmd> set bonding balance_xmit_policy 10 l34
2554
2555
2556set bonding mon_period
2557~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2560
2561This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2562When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2563link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2564
2565   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
2566
2567For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::

2593
2594   testpmd> show bonding config (port id)
2595
2596For example,
2597to show the configuration a Link Bonding device (port 9) with 3 slave devices (1, 3, 4)
2598in balance mode with a transmission policy of layer 2+3::
2599
2600   testpmd> show bonding config 9
2601        Bonding mode: 2
2602        Balance Xmit Policy: BALANCE_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER23

3273
3274Flow rules management
3275---------------------
3276
3277Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3278``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3279modes).
3280
3281Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3282features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3283not recommended.
3284
3285``flow`` syntax
3286~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3287
3288Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3289of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3290other commands, in particular:
3291
3292- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3293  token, not that of the entire command.
3294
3295- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3296  in the contextual help).
3297
3298The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3299their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3300following sections.
3301
3302- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3303
3304   flow validate {port_id}
3305       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3306       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3307       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3308
3309- Create a flow rule::
3310
3311   flow create {port_id}
3312       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3313       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3314       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3315
3316- Destroy specific flow rules::
3317
3318   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3319
3320- Destroy all flow rules::
3321
3322   flow flush {port_id}
3323
3324- Query an existing flow rule::
3325
3326   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3327
3328- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3329  identifiers::
3330
3331   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3332
3333- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3334
3335   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3336
3337- Dump internal representation information of all flows in hardware::
3338
3339   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
3340
3341- List and destroy aged flow rules::
3342
3343   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
3344
3345- Tunnel offload - create a tunnel stub::
3346
3347   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3348
3349- Tunnel offload - destroy a tunnel stub::
3350
3351   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3352
3353- Tunnel offload - list port tunnel stubs::
3354
3355   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3356
3357Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3358~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3359
3360``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3361
3362   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3363
3364If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3365
3366   port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3367
3368Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3369
3370Destroying tunnel offload stub
3371~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3372
3373``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3374
3375   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3376
3377Listing tunnel offload stubs
3378~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3379
3380``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3381
3382   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3383
3384Validating flow rules
3385~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3386
3387``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3388underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3389bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3390
3391   flow validate {port_id}
3392      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3393      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3394      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3395
3396If successful, it will show::
3397
3398   Flow rule validated
3399
3400Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3401
3402   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3403
3404This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3405described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3406
3407Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3408index 6 is supported::
3409
3410   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3411      actions queue index 6 / end
3412   Flow rule validated
3413   testpmd>
3414
3415Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3416
3417   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3418      actions drop / end
3419   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3420   testpmd>
3421
3422Creating flow rules
3423~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3424
3425``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3426to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3427
3428   flow create {port_id}
3429      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3430      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3431      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3432      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3433
3434If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3435
3436   Flow rule #[...] created
3437
3438Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3439
3440   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3441
3442Parameters describe in the following order:
3443
3444- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3445- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3446- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3447  *end* pattern item.
3448- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3449  action.
3450
3451These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3452underlying functions.
3453
3454The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3455
3456   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3457
3458Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3459one.
3460
3461**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3462
3463Attributes
3464^^^^^^^^^^
3465
3466These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3467specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3468
3469- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3470- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3471- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3472- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3473- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3474
3475Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3476value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3477
3478   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3479
3480Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3481
3482While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3483simultaneously.
3484
3485Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3486
3487   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3488
3489Tunnel offload
3490^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3491
3492Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3493
3494- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3495- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunel offload match type.
3496
3497Matching pattern
3498^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3499
3500A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3501items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3502
3503Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3504rte_flow_item_type``).
3505
3506The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3507below::
3508
3509   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3510
3511Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3512layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3513unlikely to match any packet::
3514
3515   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3516
3517More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3518documentation.
3519
3520Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3521``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3522
3523   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3524      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3525
3526This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3527
3528In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3529``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3530in a similar fashion.
3531
3532The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3533and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3534accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3535
3536- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3537- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3538- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3539- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3540- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3541
3542These yield identical results::
3543
3544   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3545
3546::
3547
3548   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3549
3550::
3551
3552   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3553
3554::
3555
3556   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3557
3558::
3559
3560   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3561
3562Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3563
3564   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3565
3566Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3567
3568   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3569      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3570
3571Properties can be modified multiple times::
3572
3573   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3574
3575::
3576
3577   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3578

3781
3782Actions list
3783^^^^^^^^^^^^
3784
3785A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3786`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3787terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3788
3789Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3790rte_flow_action_type``).
3791
3792Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3793
3794   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3795      actions drop / end
3796
3797Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3798there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3799queue index.
3800
3801This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3802
3803   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3804      actions queue index 6 / end
3805
3806While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3807
3808   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3809      actions queue / end
3810
3811As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3812rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3813
3814   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3815
3816::
3817
3818   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3819
3820All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3821action of a given type is taken into account::
3822
3823   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3824
3825::
3826
3827   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3828
3829::
3830
3831   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3832
3833Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3834actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3835
3836   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3837
3838::
3839
3840   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3841
3842::
3843
3844   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3845
3846Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4053Destroying flow rules
4054~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4055
4056``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4057by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4058times as necessary::
4059
4060   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4061
4062If successful, it will show::
4063
4064   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4065
4066It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4067message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4068
4069   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4070
4071``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4072arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4073
4074   flow flush {port_id}
4075
4076Any errors are reported as above.
4077
4078Creating several rules and destroying them::
4079
4080   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4081      actions queue index 2 / end
4082   Flow rule #0 created
4083   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4084      actions queue index 3 / end
4085   Flow rule #1 created
4086   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4087   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4088   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4089   testpmd>
4090
4091The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4092
4093   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4094      actions queue index 2 / end
4095   Flow rule #0 created
4096   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4097      actions queue index 3 / end
4098   Flow rule #1 created
4099   testpmd> flow flush 0
4100   testpmd>
4101
4102Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4103
4104   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4105      actions queue index 2 / end
4106   Flow rule #0 created
4107   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4108      actions queue index 3 / end
4109   Flow rule #1 created
4110   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4111   testpmd>
4112   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4113   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4114   testpmd>
4115
4116Querying flow rules
4117~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4118
4119``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4120ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4121command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4122
4123   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4124
4125If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4126or the following message::
4127
4128   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4129
4130Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4131error occurred::
4132
4133   Flow rule #[...] not found
4134
4135::
4136
4137   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4138
4139Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4140number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4141output has the following format::
4142
4143   count:
4144    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4145    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4146    hits: [...] # number of packets
4147    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4148
4149Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4150
4151   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4152      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4153   Flow rule #4 created
4154   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4155   count:
4156    hits_set: 1
4157    bytes_set: 0
4158    hits: 386446
4159    bytes: 0
4160   testpmd>
4161
4162Listing flow rules
4163~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4164
4165``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4166filtered by group identifiers::
4167
4168   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4169
4170This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4171exist::
4172
4173   Invalid port [...]
4174
4175Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4176flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4177configured on the device::
4178
4179   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4180   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4181
4182``Attr`` column flags:
4183
4184- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4185- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4186
4187Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4188
4189   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4190      actions queue index 6 / end
4191   Flow rule #0 created
4192   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4193      actions queue index 2 / end
4194   Flow rule #1 created
4195   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4196      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4197   Flow rule #2 created
4198   testpmd> flow list 0
4199   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4200   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4201   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4202   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4203   testpmd>
4204
4205Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4206
4207   testpmd> flow list 1
4208   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4209   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4210   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4211   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4212   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4213   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4214   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4215   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4216   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4217   testpmd>
4218
4219Output can be limited to specific groups::
4220
4221   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4222   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4223   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4224   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4225   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4226   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4227   testpmd>
4228
4229Toggling isolated mode
4230~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4231
4232``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4233must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4234is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4235resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4236
4237 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4238
4239If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4240
4241 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4242    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4243
4244Or::
4245
4246 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4247    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4248
4249Otherwise, in case of error::
4250
4251   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4252
4253Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4254ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4255first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4256
4257Enabling isolated mode::
4258
4259 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4260 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4261 testpmd>
4262
4263Disabling isolated mode::
4264
4265 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4266 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4267 testpmd>
4268
4269Dumping HW internal information
4270~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4271
4272``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4273all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4274
4275   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4276
4277If successful, it will show::
4278
4279   Flow dump finished
4280
4281Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4282
4283   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4284
4285Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4286~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4287
4288``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4289and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4290
4291   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4292
4293Listing current aged flow rules::
4294
4295   testpmd> flow aged 0
4296   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4297   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4298      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4299   Flow rule #0 created
4300   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4301      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4302   Flow rule #1 created
4303   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4304      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4305   Flow rule #2 created
4306   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4307      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4308   Flow rule #3 created
4309
4310
4311Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4312information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4313those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4314will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4315

4342Creating shared actions
4343~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4344``flow shared_action {port_id} create`` creates shared action with optional
4345shared action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_shared_action_create()``::
4346
4347   flow shared_action {port_id} create [action_id {shared_action_id}]
4348      [ingress] [egress] action {action} / end
4349
4350If successful, it will show::
4351
4352   Shared action #[...] created
4353
4354Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action already exists or that
4355some error occurred::
4356
4357   Shared action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4358
4359::
4360
4361   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4362
4363Create shared rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4364
4365   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 create action_id 100 \
4366      ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
4367
4368Create shared rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
4369port 0::
4370
4371	testpmd> flow shared_action 0 create action_id \
4372		ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4373
4374Updating shared actions
4375~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4376``flow shared_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the shared
4377action from its shared action ID (as returned by
4378``flow shared_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4379``rte_flow_shared_action_update()``::
4380
4381   flow shared_action {port_id} update {shared_action_id}
4382      action {action} / end
4383
4384If successful, it will show::
4385
4386   Shared action #[...] updated
4387
4388Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action not found or that some
4389error occurred::
4390
4391   Failed to find shared action #[...] on port [...]
4392
4393::
4394
4395   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4396
4397Update shared rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4398(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4399
4400   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4401
4402Destroying shared actions
4403~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4404``flow shared_action {port_id} update`` destroys one or more shared actions
4405from their shared action IDs (as returned by
4406``flow shared_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4407``rte_flow_shared_action_destroy()``::
4408
4409   flow shared_action {port_id} destroy action_id {shared_action_id} [...]
4410
4411If successful, it will show::
4412
4413   Shared action #[...] destroyed
4414
4415It does not report anything for shared action IDs that do not exist.
4416The usual error message is shown when a shared action cannot be destroyed::
4417
4418   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4419
4420Destroy shared actions having id 100 & 101::
4421
4422   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4423
4424Query shared actions
4425~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4426``flow shared_action {port_id} query`` queries the shared action from its
4427shared action ID (as returned by ``flow shared_action {port_id} create``).
4428It is bound to ``rte_flow_shared_action_query()``::
4429
4430  flow shared_action {port_id} query {shared_action_id}
4431
4432Currently only rss shared action supported. If successful, it will show::
4433
4434   Shared RSS action:
4435      refs:[...]
4436
4437Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action not found or that some
4438error occurred::
4439
4440   Failed to find shared action #[...] on port [...]
4441
4442::
4443
4444   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4445
4446Query shared action having id 100::
4447
4448   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 query 100
4449
4450Sample QinQ flow rules
4451~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4452
4453Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4454
4455   testpmd> port stop 0
4456   testpmd> vlan set qinq_strip on 0
4457
4458The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4459
4460To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4461
4462   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
4463   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
4464   testpmd> port start 0
4465
4466Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4467
4468::
4469
4470   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4471       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4472   Flow rule #0 validated

4481
4482Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
4483
4484::
4485
4486   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4487        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end

4499Sample VXLAN flow rules
4500~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4501
4502Before creating VXLAN rule(s), the UDP port should be added for VXLAN packet
4503filter on a port::
4504
4505  testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0
4506
4507Create VXLAN rules on port 0 to steer traffic to PF queues.

4858BPF Functions
4859--------------
4860
4861The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
4862
4863bpf-load
4864~~~~~~~~
4865
4866Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
4867
4868   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
4869
4870The available load-flags are:
4871
4872* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
4873
4874* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
4875
4876* ``-``: none.
4877
4878.. note::
4879
4880   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
4881
4882For example:
4883
4884.. code-block:: console
4885
4886   cd examples/bpf
4887   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
4888
4889Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
4890
4891.. code-block:: console
4892
4893   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
4894
4895To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
4896
4897.. code-block:: console
4898
4899   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
4900
4901bpf-unload
4902~~~~~~~~~~
4903
4904Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
4905
4906   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
4907
4908For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
4909
4910.. code-block:: console
4911
4912   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
4913
