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 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.
60
61
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   ./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.

255
256show config
257~~~~~~~~~~~
258
259Displays the configuration of the application.
260The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
261
262   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|txpkts)
263
264The available information categories are:

268* ``cores``: List of forwarding cores.
269
270* ``fwd``: Packet forwarding configuration.
271
272* ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
273
274For example:
275
276.. code-block:: console
277
278   testpmd> show config rxtx
279
280   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
281   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
282   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
283   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
284   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
285   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
286   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
287
288set fwd
289~~~~~~~
290
291Set the packet forwarding mode::
292
293   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
294                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy) (""|retry)
295
296``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
297
298The available information categories are:
299
300* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
301  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
302  This is the default mode.
303
304* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
305  Default application behaviour is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
306  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
307  'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
308
309* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
310  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
311
312* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
313  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
314
315* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
316
317* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
318
319* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
320
321* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
322
323* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
324
325* ``softnic``: Demonstrates the softnic forwarding operation. In this mode, packet forwarding is
326  similar to I/O mode except for the fact that packets are loopback to the softnic ports only. Therefore, portmask parameter should be set to softnic port only. The various software based custom NIC pipelines specified through the softnic firmware (DPDK packet framework script) can be tested in this mode. Furthermore, it allows to build 5-level hierarchical QoS scheduler as a default option that can be enabled through CLI once testpmd application is initialised. The user can modify the default scheduler hierarchy or can specify the new QoS Scheduler hierarchy through CLI. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SOFTNIC=y``.
327
328* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbour simulation.
329  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
330  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
331
332Example::
333
334   testpmd> set fwd rxonly

471
472Where:
473
474* ``type`` is the log name.
475
476* ``level`` is the log level.
477
478For example, to change the global log level::
479	testpmd> set log global (level)
480
481Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
482	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
483
484set nbport
485~~~~~~~~~~
486
487Set the number of ports used by the application:
488
489set nbport (num)
490
491This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
492
493set nbcore
494~~~~~~~~~~
495
496Set the number of cores used by the application::
497
498   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
499
500This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
501
502.. note::
503
504   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
505
506set coremask
507~~~~~~~~~~~~
508
509Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
510
511   testpmd> set coremask (mask)

518
519set portmask
520~~~~~~~~~~~~
521
522Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
523
524   testpmd> set portmask (mask)

528set burst
529~~~~~~~~~
530
531Set number of packets per burst::
532
533   testpmd> set burst (num)
534
535This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.

538
539   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
540
541set txpkts
542~~~~~~~~~~
543
544Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
545
546   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
547
548Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
549
550set txsplit
551~~~~~~~~~~~
552
553Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
554
555   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
556
557Where:
558
559* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
560
561* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
562  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
563  (see above).
564
565* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
566
567set corelist
568~~~~~~~~~~~~
569
570Set the list of forwarding cores::
571

892* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
893
894* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
895  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
896  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
897
898* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
899  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, vxlan-gpe are
900  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.

906RSS queue region
907~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
908
909Set RSS queue region span on a port::
910
911   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) \
912		queue_start_index (value) queue_num (value)
913
914Set flowtype mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::
915
916   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) flowtype (value)
917
918where:
919
920* For the flowtype(pctype) of packet,the specific index for each type has
921  been defined in file i40e_type.h as enum i40e_filter_pctype.
922
923Set user priority mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::
924
925   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region UP (value) region_id (value)
926
927Flush all queue region related configuration on a port::
928
929   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region flush (on|off)
930
931where:
932
933* "on"is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
934  it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
935  at first will only keep in DPDK software stored in driver,
936  only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.
937  "off" is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
938  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
939
940Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
941
942   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
943
944.. note::
945
946  Queue region only support on PF by now, so these command is
947  only for configuration of queue region on PF port.
948
949csum parse-tunnel
950~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
951
952Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
953engine::
954
955   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
956
957If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
958tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
959
960If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
961header is handled as a packet payload).
962
963.. note::
964
965   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
966
967Example:
968
969Consider a packet in packet like the following::
970
971   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
972
973* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
974  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
975  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
976
977* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
978   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.
979
980csum show
981~~~~~~~~~
982
983Display tx checksum offload configuration::
984
985   testpmd> csum show (port_id)
986
987tso set
988~~~~~~~
989
990Enable TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) in the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
991
992   testpmd> tso set (segsize) (port_id)
993
994.. note::
995
996   Check the NIC datasheet for hardware limits.
997
998tso show
999~~~~~~~~
1000
1001Display the status of TCP Segmentation Offload::
1002
1003   testpmd> tso show (port_id)
1004
1005set port - gro
1006~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1007
1008Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1009
1010   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1011
1012If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1013packets received from the given port.
1014
1015If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1016GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1017
1018.. note::
1019
1020   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1021   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1022   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1023   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1024   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1025   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1026   transmitted to.
1027
1028show port - gro
1029~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1030
1031Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1032
1033   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1034
1035set gro flush
1036~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1037
1038Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1039
1040   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1041
1042When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1043packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1044can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1045from the reassembly tables.
1046
1047The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1048engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1049operations.
1050
1051By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1052from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1053of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1054
1055Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1056stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1057stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1058
1059set port - gso
1060~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1061
1062Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1063
1064   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1065
1066If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1067packets, transmitted on the given port.
1068
1069If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1070By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1071
1072.. note::
1073
1074   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1075   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1076   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1077   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1078   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1079   GSO-enabled ports.
1080
1081   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1082   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1083
1084   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1085
1086   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1087
1088   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1089
1090   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1091   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1092   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1093   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1094   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1095   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1096
1097set gso segsz
1098~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1099
1100Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the
1101packet header and the packet payload for GSO-enabled ports (global)::
1102

1691Those command will set an internal configuration inside testpmd, any following
1692flow rule using the action mplsoudp_decap will use the last configuration set.
1693To have a different decapsulation header, one of those commands must be called
1694before the flow rule creation.

1696Port Functions
1697--------------
1698
1699The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1700
1701.. note::
1702
1703   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1704
1705port attach
1706~~~~~~~~~~~
1707
1708Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1709
1710   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1711
1712To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1713Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1714Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1715
1716For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1717
1718.. code-block:: console
1719
1720   # Check the status of the available devices.
1721   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1722
1723   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1724   ============================================
1725   <none>
1726
1727   Network devices using kernel driver
1728   ===================================
1729   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1730
1731
1732   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1733   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1734
1735
1736   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1737   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1738   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1739   ============================================
1740   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1741
1742To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1743
1744For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1745
1746.. code-block:: console
1747
1748   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1749   Attaching a new port...
1750   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1751   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1752   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1753   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1754   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1755   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1756   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1757   Done
1758
1759For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1760
1761.. code-block:: console
1762
1763   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1764   Attaching a new port...
1765   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1766   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1767   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1768   Done
1769
1770In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1771This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1772
1773For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1774the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1775
1776.. code-block:: console
1777
1778   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1779   Attaching a new port...
1780   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1781   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1782   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1783   Done
1784
1785
1786port detach
1787~~~~~~~~~~~
1788
1789Detach a specific port::
1790
1791   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1792
1793Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1794
1795For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1796
1797.. code-block:: console
1798
1799   testpmd> port stop 0
1800   Stopping ports...
1801   Done
1802   testpmd> port close 0
1803   Closing ports...
1804   Done
1805
1806   testpmd> port detach 0
1807   Detaching a port...
1808   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1809   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1810   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1811   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1812   Done
1813
1814
1815For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1816
1817.. code-block:: console
1818
1819   testpmd> port stop 0
1820   Stopping ports...
1821   Done
1822   testpmd> port close 0
1823   Closing ports...
1824   Done
1825
1826   testpmd> port detach 0
1827   Detaching a port...
1828   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1829   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1830   Done
1831
1832To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1833Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1834Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1835
1836For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1837
1838.. code-block:: console
1839
1840   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1841
1842   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

2147Link Bonding Functions
2148----------------------
2149
2150The Link Bonding functions make it possible to dynamically create and
2151manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.
2152
2153create bonded device
2154~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2155
2156Create a new bonding device::
2157
2158   testpmd> create bonded device (mode) (socket)
2159
2160For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0::
2161
2162   testpmd> create bonded device 1 0
2163   created new bonded device (port X)
2164
2165add bonding slave
2166~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2167
2168Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
2169
2170   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2171
2172For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2173
2174   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2175
2176
2177remove bonding slave
2178~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2179
2180Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2181
2182   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2183
2184For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2185
2186   testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
2187
2188set bonding mode
2189~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2190
2191Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device::
2192
2193   testpmd> set bonding mode (value) (port id)
2194
2195For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3)::
2196
2197   testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
2198
2199set bonding primary
2200~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2201
2202Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device::
2203
2204   testpmd> set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
2205
2206For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2207
2208   testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10
2209
2210set bonding mac
2211~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2212
2213Set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device::
2214
2215   testpmd> set bonding mac (port id) (mac)
2216
2217For example, to set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to 00:00:00:00:00:01::
2218
2219   testpmd> set bonding mac 10 00:00:00:00:00:01
2220
2221set bonding xmit_balance_policy
2222~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2223
2224Set the transmission policy for a Link Bonding device when it is in Balance XOR mode::
2225
2226   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)
2227
2228For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2229
2230   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy 10 l34
2231
2232
2233set bonding mon_period
2234~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2235
2236Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding device.
2237
2238This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2239When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2240link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2241
2242   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
2243
2244For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::
2245
2246   testpmd> set bonding mon_period 5 150

2285Register Functions
2286------------------
2287
2288The Register Functions can be used to read from and write to registers on the network card referenced by a port number.
2289This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
2290Reference should be made to the appropriate datasheet for the network card for details on the register addresses
2291and fields that can be accessed.
2292

2295
2296Display the value of a port register::
2297
2298   testpmd> read reg (port_id) (address)
2299
2300For example, to examine the Flow Director control register (FDIRCTL, 0x0000EE000) on an Intel 82599 10 GbE Controller::
2301
2302   testpmd> read reg 0 0xEE00

3039
3040flow_director_filter
3041~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3042
3043The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
3044
3045Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
3046Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
3047
3048* Perfect match filters.
3049  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3050  The masked fields are for IP flow.
3051
3052* Signature filters.
3053  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
3054
3055* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
3056  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3057  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
3058
3059* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
3060  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3061  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
3062
3063* Perfect-raw-flow-type match filters.
3064  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and pre-loaded raw (template) packet.
3065  The masked fields are specified by input sets.
3066
3067The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
3068per flow type and the flexible payload.
3069
3070The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
3071are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
3072
3073Note that for raw flow type mode the source and destination fields in the
3074raw packet buffer need to be presented in a reversed order with respect
3075to the expected received packets.
3076For example: IP source and destination addresses or TCP/UDP/SCTP
3077source and destination ports
3078
3079Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

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

3721Actions list
3722^^^^^^^^^^^^
3723
3724A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3725`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3726terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3727
3728Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3729rte_flow_action_type``).
3730
3731Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3732
3733   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3734      actions drop / end
3735
3736Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3737there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3738queue index.
3739
3740This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3741
3742   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3743      actions queue index 6 / end
3744
3745While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3746
3747   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3748      actions queue / end
3749
3750As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3751rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3752
3753   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3754
3755::
3756
3757   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3758
3759All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3760action of a given type is taken into account::
3761
3762   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3763
3764::
3765
3766   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3767
3768::
3769
3770   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3771
3772Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3773actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3774
3775   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3776
3777::
3778
3779   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3780
3781::
3782
3783   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3784
3785Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
3786

3964Destroying flow rules
3965~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3966
3967``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
3968by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
3969times as necessary::
3970
3971   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3972
3973If successful, it will show::
3974
3975   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
3976
3977It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
3978message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
3979
3980   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3981
3982``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
3983arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
3984
3985   flow flush {port_id}
3986
3987Any errors are reported as above.
3988
3989Creating several rules and destroying them::
3990
3991   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3992      actions queue index 2 / end
3993   Flow rule #0 created
3994   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3995      actions queue index 3 / end
3996   Flow rule #1 created
3997   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
3998   Flow rule #1 destroyed
3999   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4000   testpmd>
4001
4002The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4003
4004   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4005      actions queue index 2 / end
4006   Flow rule #0 created
4007   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4008      actions queue index 3 / end
4009   Flow rule #1 created
4010   testpmd> flow flush 0
4011   testpmd>
4012
4013Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4014
4015   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4016      actions queue index 2 / end
4017   Flow rule #0 created
4018   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4019      actions queue index 3 / end
4020   Flow rule #1 created
4021   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4022   testpmd>
4023   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4024   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4025   testpmd>
4026
4027Querying flow rules
4028~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4029
4030``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4031ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4032command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4033
4034   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4035
4036If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4037or the following message::
4038
4039   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4040
4041Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4042error occurred::
4043
4044   Flow rule #[...] not found
4045
4046::
4047
4048   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4049
4050Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4051number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4052output has the following format::
4053
4054   count:
4055    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4056    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4057    hits: [...] # number of packets
4058    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4059
4060Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4061
4062   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4063      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4064   Flow rule #4 created
4065   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4066   count:
4067    hits_set: 1
4068    bytes_set: 0
4069    hits: 386446
4070    bytes: 0
4071   testpmd>
4072
4073Listing flow rules
4074~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4075
4076``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4077filtered by group identifiers::
4078
4079   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4080
4081This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4082exist::
4083
4084   Invalid port [...]
4085
4086Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4087flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4088configured on the device::
4089
4090   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4091   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4092
4093``Attr`` column flags:
4094
4095- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4096- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4097
4098Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4099
4100   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4101      actions queue index 6 / end
4102   Flow rule #0 created
4103   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4104      actions queue index 2 / end
4105   Flow rule #1 created
4106   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4107      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4108   Flow rule #2 created
4109   testpmd> flow list 0
4110   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4111   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4112   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4113   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4114   testpmd>
4115
4116Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4117
4118   testpmd> flow list 1
4119   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4120   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4121   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4122   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4123   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4124   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4125   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4126   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4127   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4128   testpmd>
4129
4130Output can be limited to specific groups::
4131
4132   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4133   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4134   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4135   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4136   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4137   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4138   testpmd>
4139
4140Toggling isolated mode
4141~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4142
4143``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4144must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4145is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4146resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4147
4148 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4149
4150If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4151
4152 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4153    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4154
4155Or::
4156
4157 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4158    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4159
4160Otherwise, in case of error::
4161
4162   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4163
4164Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4165ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4166first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4167
4168Enabling isolated mode::
4169
4170 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4171 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4172 testpmd>
4173
4174Disabling isolated mode::
4175
4176 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4177 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4178 testpmd>
4179
4180Sample QinQ flow rules
4181~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4182
4183Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4184
4185   testpmd> port stop 0
4186   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
4187
4188The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4189
4190To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4191
4192   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
4193   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
4194   testpmd> port start 0
4195
4196Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4197
4198::
4199
4200   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /

4478BPF Functions
4479--------------
4480
4481The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
4482
4483bpf-load
4484~~~~~~~~
4485
4486Load an eBPF program as a callback for partciular RX/TX queue::
4487
4488   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
4489
4490The available load-flags are:
4491
4492* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
4493
4494* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
4495
4496* ``-``: none.
4497
4498.. note::
4499
4500   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
4501
4502For example:
4503
4504.. code-block:: console
4505
4506   cd examples/bpf
4507   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
4508
4509Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1::
4510
4511.. code-block:: console
4512
4513   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
4514
4515To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0::
4516
4517.. code-block:: console
4518
4519   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
4520
4521bpf-unload
4522~~~~~~~~~~
4523
4524Unload previously loaded eBPF program for partciular RX/TX queue::
4525
4526   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
4527
4528For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
4529
4530.. code-block:: console
4531
4532   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
4533
