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::

890set portlist
891~~~~~~~~~~~~
892
893Set the list of forwarding ports::
894

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

1201
1202   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) flowtype (value)
1203
1204where:
1205
1206* For the flowtype(pctype) of packet,the specific index for each type has
1207  been defined in file i40e_type.h as enum i40e_filter_pctype.
1208
1209Set user priority mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::

1214
1215   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region flush (on|off)
1216
1217where:
1218
1219* ``on``: is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
1220  it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
1221  at first will only keep in DPDK software stored in driver,
1222  only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.
1223
1224* ``"off``: is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
1225  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
1226
1227Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
1228
1229   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region

1234  only for configuration of queue region on PF port.
1235
1236csum parse-tunnel
1237~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1238
1239Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1240engine::
1241
1242   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1243
1244If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1245tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1246
1247If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1248header is handled as a packet payload).
1249
1250.. note::
1251
1252   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1253
1254Example:
1255
1256Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1257
1258   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1259
1260* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1261  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1262  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1263
1264* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1265   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.
1266

1276
1277Enable TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) in the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1278
1279   testpmd> tso set (segsize) (port_id)
1280
1281.. note::
1282
1283   Check the NIC datasheet for hardware limits.

1289
1290   testpmd> tso show (port_id)
1291
1292tunnel tso set
1293~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1294
1295Set tso segment size of tunneled packets for a port in csum engine::
1296
1297   testpmd> tunnel_tso set (tso_segsz) (port_id)
1298
1299tunnel tso show
1300~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1301
1302Display the status of tunneled TCP Segmentation Offload for a port::
1303
1304   testpmd> tunnel_tso show (port_id)
1305
1306set port - gro
1307~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1308
1309Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1310
1311   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1312
1313If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1314packets received from the given port.
1315
1316If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1317GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1318
1319.. note::
1320
1321   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1322   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1323   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1324   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1325   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1326   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1327   transmitted to.
1328
1329show port - gro
1330~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1331
1332Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1333
1334   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1335
1336set gro flush
1337~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1338
1339Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1340
1341   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1342
1343When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1344packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1345can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1346from the reassembly tables.
1347
1348The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1349engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1350operations.
1351
1352By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1353from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1354of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1355
1356Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1357stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1358stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1359
1360set port - gso
1361~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1362
1363Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1364
1365   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1366
1367If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1368packets, transmitted on the given port.
1369
1370If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1371By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1372
1373.. note::
1374
1375   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1376   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1377   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1378   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1379   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1380   GSO-enabled ports.
1381
1382   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1383   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1384
1385   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1386
1387   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1388
1389   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1390
1391   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1392   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1393   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1394   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1395   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1396   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1397
1398set gso segsz
1399~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1400
1401Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the

2058Port Functions
2059--------------
2060
2061The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
2062
2063.. note::
2064
2065   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
2066
2067port attach
2068~~~~~~~~~~~
2069
2070Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2071
2072   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
2073
2074To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
2075Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
2076Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
2077
2078For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
2079
2080.. code-block:: console
2081
2082   # Check the status of the available devices.
2083   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2084
2085   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2086   ============================================
2087   <none>
2088
2089   Network devices using kernel driver
2090   ===================================
2091   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
2092
2093
2094   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
2095   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
2096
2097
2098   # Recheck the status of the devices.
2099   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2100   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2101   ============================================
2102   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
2103
2104To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2105
2106For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
2107
2108.. code-block:: console
2109
2110   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
2111   Attaching a new port...
2112   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1

2117   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
2118   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2119   Done
2120
2121For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
2122
2123.. code-block:: console
2124
2125   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
2126   Attaching a new port...
2127   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
2128   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
2129   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2130   Done
2131
2132In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2133This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2134
2135For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
2136the mode and slave parameters must be given.
2137
2138.. code-block:: console
2139
2140   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
2141   Attaching a new port...
2142   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
2143   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
2144   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2145   Done
2146
2147
2148port detach
2149~~~~~~~~~~~
2150
2151Detach a specific port::
2152
2153   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
2154
2155Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
2156
2157For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
2158
2159.. code-block:: console
2160
2161   testpmd> port stop 0
2162   Stopping ports...
2163   Done
2164   testpmd> port close 0
2165   Closing ports...
2166   Done
2167
2168   testpmd> port detach 0
2169   Detaching a port...
2170   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1

2173   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2174   Done
2175
2176
2177For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2178
2179.. code-block:: console
2180
2181   testpmd> port stop 0
2182   Stopping ports...
2183   Done
2184   testpmd> port close 0
2185   Closing ports...
2186   Done
2187
2188   testpmd> port detach 0
2189   Detaching a port...
2190   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2191   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2192   Done
2193
2194To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2195Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2196Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2197
2198For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2199
2200.. code-block:: console
2201
2202   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0

2488The following sections show functions for device operations.
2489
2490device detach
2491~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2492
2493Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2494
2495   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2496
2497Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2498
2499For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2500
2501.. code-block:: console
2502
2503    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2504    Removing a device...
2505    Port 1 is now closed
2506    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2507    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2508    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2509    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2510    Now total ports is 1
2511
2512For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2513
2514.. code-block:: console
2515
2516    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2517    Removing a device...
2518    Port 0 is now closed
2519    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2520    Now total ports is 0
2521    Done
2522
2523In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2524This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.

2552
2553   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2554
2555
2556remove bonding slave
2557~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2558

3376.. _testpmd_flow_director:
3377
3378flow_director_filter
3379~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3380
3381The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
3382
3383Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
3384Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
3385
3386* Perfect match filters.
3387  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3388  The masked fields are for IP flow.
3389
3390* Signature filters.
3391  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
3392
3393* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
3394  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3395  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
3396
3397* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
3398  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3399  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
3400
3401* Perfect-raw-flow-type match filters.
3402  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and pre-loaded raw (template) packet.
3403  The masked fields are specified by input sets.
3404
3405The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
3406per flow type and the flexible payload.
3407
3408The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
3409are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
3410
3411Note that for raw flow type mode the source and destination fields in the
3412raw packet buffer need to be presented in a reversed order with respect
3413to the expected received packets.
3414For example: IP source and destination addresses or TCP/UDP/SCTP
3415source and destination ports
3416
3417Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

3636.. _testpmd_rte_flow:
3637
3638Flow rules management
3639---------------------
3640
3641Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3642``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3643modes).
3644
3645Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3646features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3647not recommended.
3648
3649``flow`` syntax
3650~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3651
3652Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3653of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3654other commands, in particular:
3655
3656- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3657  token, not that of the entire command.
3658
3659- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3660  in the contextual help).
3661
3662The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3663their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3664following sections.
3665
3666- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3667
3668   flow validate {port_id}
3669       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3670       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3671       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3672
3673- Create a flow rule::
3674
3675   flow create {port_id}
3676       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3677       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3678       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3679
3680- Destroy specific flow rules::
3681

3683
3684- Destroy all flow rules::
3685
3686   flow flush {port_id}
3687
3688- Query an existing flow rule::
3689
3690   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3691
3692- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3693  identifiers::
3694
3695   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3696
3697- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3698
3699   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3700
3701- Dump internal representation information of all flows in hardware::
3702
3703   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
3704
3705- List and destroy aged flow rules::

3707   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
3708
3709- Tunnel offload - create a tunnel stub::
3710
3711   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3712
3713- Tunnel offload - destroy a tunnel stub::
3714
3715   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3716
3717- Tunnel offload - list port tunnel stubs::
3718
3719   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3720
3721Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3722~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3723
3724``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3725
3726   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3727
3728If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3729
3730   port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3731
3732Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3733
3734Destroying tunnel offload stub
3735~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3736
3737``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3738
3739   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3740
3741Listing tunnel offload stubs
3742~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3743
3744``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3745
3746   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3747
3748Validating flow rules
3749~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3750
3751``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3752underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3753bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3754
3755   flow validate {port_id}
3756      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3757      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3758      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3759
3760If successful, it will show::
3761
3762   Flow rule validated
3763
3764Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3765
3766   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3767
3768This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3769described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3770
3771Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3772index 6 is supported::
3773
3774   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3775      actions queue index 6 / end
3776   Flow rule validated
3777   testpmd>
3778
3779Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3780
3781   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3782      actions drop / end
3783   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3784   testpmd>
3785
3786Creating flow rules
3787~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3788
3789``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3790to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3791
3792   flow create {port_id}
3793      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3794      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3795      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3796      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3797
3798If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3799
3800   Flow rule #[...] created
3801
3802Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3803
3804   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3805
3806Parameters describe in the following order:
3807
3808- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3809- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3810- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3811  *end* pattern item.
3812- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3813  action.
3814
3815These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3816underlying functions.
3817
3818The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3819
3820   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3821
3822Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3823one.
3824
3825**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3826
3827Attributes
3828^^^^^^^^^^
3829
3830These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3831specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3832
3833- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3834- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3835- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3836- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3837- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3838
3839Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3840value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3841
3842   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3843
3844Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3845
3846While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3847simultaneously.
3848
3849Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3850
3851   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3852
3853Tunnel offload
3854^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3855
3856Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3857
3858- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3859- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunel offload match type.
3860
3861Matching pattern
3862^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3863
3864A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3865items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3866
3867Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3868rte_flow_item_type``).
3869
3870The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3871below::
3872
3873   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3874
3875Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3876layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3877unlikely to match any packet::
3878
3879   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3880
3881More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3882documentation.
3883
3884Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3885``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3886
3887   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3888      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3889
3890This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3891
3892In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3893``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3894in a similar fashion.
3895
3896The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3897and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3898accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3899
3900- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3901- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3902- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3903- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3904- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3905
3906These yield identical results::
3907
3908   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3909
3910::
3911
3912   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3913
3914::
3915
3916   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3917
3918::
3919
3920   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3921
3922::
3923
3924   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3925
3926Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3927
3928   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3929
3930Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3931
3932   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3933      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3934
3935Properties can be modified multiple times::
3936
3937   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3938
3939::
3940
3941   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3942

4145
4146Actions list
4147^^^^^^^^^^^^
4148
4149A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
4150`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
4151terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
4152
4153Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
4154rte_flow_action_type``).
4155
4156Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
4157
4158   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4159      actions drop / end
4160
4161Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
4162there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
4163queue index.
4164
4165This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
4166
4167   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4168      actions queue index 6 / end
4169
4170While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
4171
4172   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4173      actions queue / end
4174
4175As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
4176rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
4177
4178   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
4179
4180::
4181
4182   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
4183
4184All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
4185action of a given type is taken into account::
4186
4187   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
4188
4189::
4190
4191   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
4192
4193::
4194
4195   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
4196
4197Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
4198actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
4199
4200   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
4201
4202::
4203
4204   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
4205
4206::
4207
4208   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
4209
4210Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
4211
4212Actions
4213^^^^^^^
4214
4215This section lists supported actions and their attributes, if any.
4216
4217- ``end``: end list of actions.
4218
4219- ``void``: no-op action.

4418Destroying flow rules
4419~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4420
4421``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4422by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4423times as necessary::
4424
4425   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4426
4427If successful, it will show::
4428
4429   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4430
4431It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4432message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4433
4434   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4435
4436``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4437arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4438
4439   flow flush {port_id}
4440
4441Any errors are reported as above.
4442
4443Creating several rules and destroying them::
4444
4445   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4446      actions queue index 2 / end
4447   Flow rule #0 created
4448   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4449      actions queue index 3 / end
4450   Flow rule #1 created
4451   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4452   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4453   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4454   testpmd>
4455
4456The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4457
4458   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4459      actions queue index 2 / end
4460   Flow rule #0 created
4461   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4462      actions queue index 3 / end
4463   Flow rule #1 created
4464   testpmd> flow flush 0
4465   testpmd>
4466
4467Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4468
4469   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4470      actions queue index 2 / end
4471   Flow rule #0 created
4472   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4473      actions queue index 3 / end
4474   Flow rule #1 created
4475   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4476   testpmd>
4477   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4478   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4479   testpmd>
4480
4481Querying flow rules
4482~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4483
4484``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4485ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4486command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4487
4488   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4489
4490If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4491or the following message::
4492
4493   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4494
4495Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4496error occurred::
4497
4498   Flow rule #[...] not found
4499
4500::
4501
4502   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4503
4504Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4505number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4506output has the following format::
4507
4508   count:
4509    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4510    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4511    hits: [...] # number of packets
4512    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4513
4514Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4515
4516   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4517      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4518   Flow rule #4 created
4519   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4520   count:
4521    hits_set: 1
4522    bytes_set: 0
4523    hits: 386446
4524    bytes: 0
4525   testpmd>
4526
4527Listing flow rules
4528~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4529
4530``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4531filtered by group identifiers::
4532
4533   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4534
4535This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4536exist::
4537
4538   Invalid port [...]
4539
4540Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4541flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4542configured on the device::
4543
4544   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4545   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4546
4547``Attr`` column flags:
4548
4549- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4550- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4551
4552Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4553
4554   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4555      actions queue index 6 / end
4556   Flow rule #0 created
4557   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4558      actions queue index 2 / end
4559   Flow rule #1 created
4560   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4561      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4562   Flow rule #2 created
4563   testpmd> flow list 0
4564   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4565   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4566   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4567   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4568   testpmd>
4569
4570Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4571
4572   testpmd> flow list 1
4573   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4574   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4575   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4576   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4577   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4578   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4579   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4580   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4581   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4582   testpmd>
4583
4584Output can be limited to specific groups::
4585
4586   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4587   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4588   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4589   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4590   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4591   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4592   testpmd>
4593
4594Toggling isolated mode
4595~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4596
4597``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4598must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4599is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4600resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4601
4602 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4603
4604If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4605
4606 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4607    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4608
4609Or::
4610
4611 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4612    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4613
4614Otherwise, in case of error::
4615
4616   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4617
4618Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4619ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4620first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4621
4622Enabling isolated mode::
4623
4624 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4625 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4626 testpmd>
4627
4628Disabling isolated mode::
4629
4630 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4631 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4632 testpmd>
4633
4634Dumping HW internal information
4635~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4636
4637``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4638all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4639
4640   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4641
4642If successful, it will show::
4643
4644   Flow dump finished
4645
4646Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4647
4648   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4649
4650Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4651~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4652
4653``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4654and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4655
4656   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4657
4658Listing current aged flow rules::
4659
4660   testpmd> flow aged 0
4661   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4662   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4663      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4664   Flow rule #0 created
4665   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4666      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4667   Flow rule #1 created
4668   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4669      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4670   Flow rule #2 created
4671   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4672      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4673   Flow rule #3 created
4674
4675
4676Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4677information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4678those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4679will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4680
4681   testpmd> flow aged 0
4682   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4683   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4684   2       0       0       i--
4685   3       0       0       i--
4686   1       0       0       i--
4687   0       0       0       i--
4688
4689If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.
4690
4691   testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
4692   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4693   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4694   2       0       0       i--
4695   3       0       0       i--
4696   1       0       0       i--
4697   0       0       0       i--
4698
4699   Flow rule #2 destroyed
4700   Flow rule #3 destroyed
4701   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4702   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4703   4 flows be destroyed
4704   testpmd> flow aged 0
4705   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4706

4712   flow shared_action {port_id} create [action_id {shared_action_id}]
4713      [ingress] [egress] action {action} / end
4714
4715If successful, it will show::
4716
4717   Shared action #[...] created
4718
4719Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action already exists or that
4720some error occurred::
4721
4722   Shared action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4723
4724::
4725
4726   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4727
4728Create shared rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4729

4737		ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4738
4739Updating shared actions
4740~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4741``flow shared_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the shared
4742action from its shared action ID (as returned by
4743``flow shared_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4744``rte_flow_shared_action_update()``::
4745
4746   flow shared_action {port_id} update {shared_action_id}
4747      action {action} / end
4748
4749If successful, it will show::
4750
4751   Shared action #[...] updated
4752
4753Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action not found or that some
4754error occurred::
4755
4756   Failed to find shared action #[...] on port [...]
4757
4758::
4759
4760   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4761
4762Update shared rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4763(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4764
4765   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4766
4767Destroying shared actions
4768~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4769``flow shared_action {port_id} update`` destroys one or more shared actions
4770from their shared action IDs (as returned by
4771``flow shared_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4772``rte_flow_shared_action_destroy()``::
4773
4774   flow shared_action {port_id} destroy action_id {shared_action_id} [...]
4775
4776If successful, it will show::
4777
4778   Shared action #[...] destroyed
4779
4780It does not report anything for shared action IDs that do not exist.
4781The usual error message is shown when a shared action cannot be destroyed::
4782
4783   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4784
4785Destroy shared actions having id 100 & 101::
4786
4787   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4788
4789Query shared actions
4790~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4791``flow shared_action {port_id} query`` queries the shared action from its
4792shared action ID (as returned by ``flow shared_action {port_id} create``).
4793It is bound to ``rte_flow_shared_action_query()``::
4794
4795  flow shared_action {port_id} query {shared_action_id}
4796
4797Currently only rss shared action supported. If successful, it will show::
4798
4799   Shared RSS action:
4800      refs:[...]
4801
4802Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action not found or that some
4803error occurred::
4804
4805   Failed to find shared action #[...] on port [...]
4806
4807::
4808
4809   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4810
4811Query shared action having id 100::
4812
4813   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 query 100
4814
4815Sample QinQ flow rules
4816~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4817
4818Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4819
4820   testpmd> port stop 0
4821   testpmd> vlan set qinq_strip on 0
4822
4823The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4824
4825To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4826
4827   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
4828   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
4829   testpmd> port start 0
4830
4831Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4832
4833::
4834
4835   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4836       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4837   Flow rule #0 validated

4846
4847Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
4848
4849::
4850
4851   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4852        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end

4863
4864Sample VXLAN flow rules
4865~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4866
4867Before creating VXLAN rule(s), the UDP port should be added for VXLAN packet
4868filter on a port::
4869
4870  testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0
4871
4872Create VXLAN rules on port 0 to steer traffic to PF queues.
4873

5223BPF Functions
5224--------------
5225
5226The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5227
5228bpf-load
5229~~~~~~~~
5230
5231Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5232
5233   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5234
5235The available load-flags are:
5236
5237* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5238
5239* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5240
5241* ``-``: none.
5242
5243.. note::
5244
5245   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5246
5247For example:
5248
5249.. code-block:: console
5250
5251   cd examples/bpf
5252   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5253
5254Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5255
5256.. code-block:: console
5257
5258   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5259
5260To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5261
5262.. code-block:: console
5263
5264   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5265
5266bpf-unload
5267~~~~~~~~~~
5268
5269Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5270
5271   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5272
5273For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5274
5275.. code-block:: console
5276
5277   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5278
