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

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

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

263clear port
264~~~~~~~~~~
265
266Clear the port statistics for a given port or for all ports::
267
268   testpmd> clear port (info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap) (port_id|all)
269
270For example::
271
272   testpmd> clear port stats all
273
274show (rxq|txq)
275~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
276
277Display information for a given port's RX/TX queue::
278
279   testpmd> show (rxq|txq) info (port_id) (queue_id)
280
281show config
282~~~~~~~~~~~
283
284Displays the configuration of the application.
285The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
286
287   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|txpkts)
288
289The available information categories are:
290
291* ``rxtx``: RX/TX configuration items.
292
293* ``cores``: List of forwarding cores.
294
295* ``fwd``: Packet forwarding configuration.
296
297* ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
298
299For example:
300
301.. code-block:: console
302
303   testpmd> show config rxtx
304
305   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
306   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
307   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
308   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
309   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
310   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
311   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
312
313set fwd
314~~~~~~~
315
316Set the packet forwarding mode::
317
318   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
319                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho) (""|retry)
320
321``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
322
323The available information categories are:
324
325* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
326  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
327  This is the default mode.
328
329* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
330  Default application behaviour is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
331  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
332  'eth-peer-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
333
334* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
335  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
336
337* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
338  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
339
340* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
341
342* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
343
344* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
345
346* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
347
348* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
349
350Note: TX timestamping is only available in the "Full Featured" TX path. To force ``testpmd`` into this mode set ``--txqflags=0``.
351
352Example::
353
354   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
355
356   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
357
358
359read rxd
360~~~~~~~~
361
362Display an RX descriptor for a port RX queue::
363
364   testpmd> read rxd (port_id) (queue_id) (rxd_id)
365
366For example::
367
368   testpmd> read rxd 0 0 4
369        0x0000000B - 0x001D0180 / 0x0000000B - 0x001D0180
370
371read txd
372~~~~~~~~
373
374Display a TX descriptor for a port TX queue::
375
376   testpmd> read txd (port_id) (queue_id) (txd_id)
377
378For example::
379
380   testpmd> read txd 0 0 4
381        0x00000001 - 0x24C3C440 / 0x000F0000 - 0x2330003C
382
383show vf stats
384~~~~~~~~~~~~~
385
386Display VF statistics::
387
388   testpmd> show vf stats (port_id) (vf_id)
389
390clear vf stats
391~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
392
393Reset VF statistics::
394
395   testpmd> clear vf stats (port_id) (vf_id)
396
397Configuration Functions
398-----------------------
399
400The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
401
402This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
403
404.. note::
405
406   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
407
408set default
409~~~~~~~~~~~
410
411Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
412
413   testpmd> set default
414
415set verbose
416~~~~~~~~~~~
417
418Set the debug verbosity level::
419
420   testpmd> set verbose (level)
421
422Currently the only available levels are 0 (silent except for error) and 1 (fully verbose).
423
424set nbport
425~~~~~~~~~~
426
427Set the number of ports used by the application:
428
429set nbport (num)
430
431This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
432
433set nbcore
434~~~~~~~~~~
435
436Set the number of cores used by the application::
437
438   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
439
440This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
441
442.. note::
443
444   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
445
446set coremask
447~~~~~~~~~~~~
448
449Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
450
451   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
452
453This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
454
455.. note::
456
457   The master lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
458
459set portmask
460~~~~~~~~~~~~
461
462Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
463
464   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
465
466This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
467
468set burst
469~~~~~~~~~
470
471Set number of packets per burst::
472
473   testpmd> set burst (num)
474
475This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
476
477When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
478
479   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
480
481set txpkts
482~~~~~~~~~~
483
484Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
485
486   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
487
488Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
489
490set txsplit
491~~~~~~~~~~~
492
493Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
494
495   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
496
497Where:
498
499* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
500
501* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
502  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
503  (see above).
504
505* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
506
507set corelist
508~~~~~~~~~~~~
509
510Set the list of forwarding cores::
511
512   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
513
514For example, to change the forwarding cores:
515
516.. code-block:: console
517
518   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
519   testpmd> show config fwd
520
521   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
522   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
523   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
524   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
525   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
526
527.. note::
528
529   The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
530
531set portlist
532~~~~~~~~~~~~
533
534Set the list of forwarding ports::
535
536   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)

813
814Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
815transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
816
817   testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip) (hw|sw) (port_id)
818
819Where:
820
821* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
822
823* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
824  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
825  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
826
827.. note::
828
829   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
830
831csum parse-tunnel
832~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
833
834Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
835engine::
836
837   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
838
839If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
840tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
841
842If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
843header is handled as a packet payload).
844
845.. note::
846
847   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
848
849Example:
850
851Consider a packet in packet like the following::
852
853   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
854
855* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
856  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
857  ``outer-ip parameter`` relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out``).
858
859* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
860   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1251Port Functions
1252--------------
1253
1254The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1255
1256.. note::
1257
1258   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1259
1260port attach
1261~~~~~~~~~~~
1262
1263Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1264
1265   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1266
1267To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1268Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1269Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1270
1271For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1272
1273.. code-block:: console
1274
1275   # Check the status of the available devices.
1276   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1277
1278   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1279   ============================================
1280   <none>
1281
1282   Network devices using kernel driver
1283   ===================================
1284   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1285
1286
1287   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1288   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1289
1290
1291   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1292   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1293   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1294   ============================================
1295   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1296
1297To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1298
1299For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1300
1301.. code-block:: console
1302
1303   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1304   Attaching a new port...
1305   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1306   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1307   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1308   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1309   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1310   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1311   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1312   Done
1313
1314For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1315
1316.. code-block:: console
1317
1318   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1319   Attaching a new port...
1320   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1321   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1322   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1323   Done
1324
1325In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1326This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1327
1328For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1329the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1330
1331.. code-block:: console
1332
1333   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1334   Attaching a new port...
1335   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1336   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1337   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1338   Done
1339
1340
1341port detach
1342~~~~~~~~~~~
1343
1344Detach a specific port::
1345
1346   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1347
1348Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1349
1350For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1351
1352.. code-block:: console
1353
1354   testpmd> port stop 0
1355   Stopping ports...
1356   Done
1357   testpmd> port close 0
1358   Closing ports...
1359   Done
1360
1361   testpmd> port detach 0
1362   Detaching a port...
1363   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1364   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1365   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1366   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1367   Done
1368
1369
1370For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1371
1372.. code-block:: console
1373
1374   testpmd> port stop 0
1375   Stopping ports...
1376   Done
1377   testpmd> port close 0
1378   Closing ports...
1379   Done
1380
1381   testpmd> port detach 0
1382   Detaching a port...
1383   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1384   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1385   Done
1386
1387To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1388Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1389Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1390
1391For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1392
1393.. code-block:: console
1394
1395   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1396
1397   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

1643manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.
1644
1645create bonded device
1646~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1647
1648Create a new bonding device::
1649
1650   testpmd> create bonded device (mode) (socket)
1651
1652For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0::
1653
1654   testpmd> create bonded 1 0
1655   created new bonded device (port X)
1656
1657add bonding slave
1658~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1659
1660Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
1661
1662   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1663
1664For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1665
1666   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
1667
1668
1669remove bonding slave
1670~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1671
1672Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
1673
1674   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1675
1676For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1677
1678   testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
1679
1680set bonding mode
1681~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1682
1683Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device::
1684
1685   testpmd> set bonding mode (value) (port id)
1686
1687For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3)::
1688
1689   testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
1690
1691set bonding primary
1692~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1693
1694Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device::
1695
1696   testpmd> set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
1697
1698For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1699
1700   testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10
1701
1702set bonding mac
1703~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1704

1717
1718   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)
1719
1720For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
1721
1722   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy 10 l34
1723
1724
1725set bonding mon_period
1726~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1727
1728Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding device.
1729
1730This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
1731When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
1732link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
1733
1734   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
1735
1736For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::

1760Register Functions
1761------------------
1762
1763The Register Functions can be used to read from and write to registers on the network card referenced by a port number.
1764This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
1765Reference should be made to the appropriate datasheet for the network card for details on the register addresses
1766and fields that can be accessed.
1767
1768read reg
1769~~~~~~~~
1770
1771Display the value of a port register::
1772
1773   testpmd> read reg (port_id) (address)
1774
1775For example, to examine the Flow Director control register (FDIRCTL, 0x0000EE000) on an Intel 82599 10 GbE Controller::
1776
1777   testpmd> read reg 0 0xEE00
1778   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x4A060029 (1241907241)
1779
1780read regfield
1781~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1782
1783Display a port register bit field::
1784
1785   testpmd> read regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y)
1786
1787For example, reading the lowest two bits from the register in the example above::
1788
1789   testpmd> read regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1
1790   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bits[0, 1]=0x1 (1)
1791
1792read regbit
1793~~~~~~~~~~~
1794
1795Display a single port register bit::
1796
1797   testpmd> read regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x)
1798
1799For example, reading the lowest bit from the register in the example above::
1800
1801   testpmd> read regbit 0 0xEE00 0
1802   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bit 0=1
1803
1804write reg
1805~~~~~~~~~
1806
1807Set the value of a port register::
1808
1809   testpmd> write reg (port_id) (address) (value)
1810
1811For example, to clear a register::
1812
1813   testpmd> write reg 0 0xEE00 0x0
1814   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000000 (0)
1815
1816write regfield

1818
1819Set bit field of a port register::
1820
1821   testpmd> write regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y) (value)
1822
1823For example, writing to the register cleared in the example above::
1824
1825   testpmd> write regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1 2
1826   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000002 (2)
1827
1828write regbit

2015.. _testpmd_flow_director:
2016
2017flow_director_filter
2018~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2019
2020The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
2021
2022Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
2023Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
2024
2025* Perfect match filters.
2026  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2027  The masked fields are for IP flow.
2028
2029* Signature filters.
2030  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
2031
2032* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
2033  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2034  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
2035
2036* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
2037  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2038  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
2039
2040The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
2041per flow type and the flexible payload.
2042
2043The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
2044are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
2045
2046Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

2161For example, to select the first 16 bytes from the offset 4 (bytes) of packet's payload as flexible payload::
2162
2163   testpmd> flow_director_flex_payload 0 l4 \
2164            (4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19)

2180Set symmetric hash enable configuration per port to enable or disable::
2181
2182   set_sym_hash_ena_per_port (port_id) (enable|disable)
2183
2184For example, to set symmetric hash enable configuration of port 1 to enable::
2185
2186   testpmd> set_sym_hash_ena_per_port 1 enable
2187
2188get_hash_global_config
2189~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2190
2191Get the global configurations of hash filters::
2192
2193   get_hash_global_config (port_id)
2194
2195For example, to get the global configurations of hash filters of port 1::
2196
2197   testpmd> get_hash_global_config 1
2198
2199set_hash_global_config
2200~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2201
2202Set the global configurations of hash filters::
2203
2204   set_hash_global_config (port_id) (toeplitz|simple_xor|default) \
2205   (ipv4|ipv4-frag|ipv4-tcp|ipv4-udp|ipv4-sctp|ipv4-other|ipv6|ipv6-frag| \
2206   ipv6-tcp|ipv6-udp|ipv6-sctp|ipv6-other|l2_payload) \
2207   (enable|disable)
2208
2209For example, to enable simple_xor for flow type of ipv6 on port 2::
2210
2211   testpmd> set_hash_global_config 2 simple_xor ipv6 enable
2212
2213set_hash_input_set
2214~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2229
2230set_fdir_input_set
2231~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2232
2233The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet, i.e. specific input set
2234on per flow type and the flexible payload. This command can be used to change input set for each flow type.
2235
2236Set the input set for flow director::
2237

2262
2263Flow rules management
2264---------------------
2265
2266Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
2267``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction and queries).
2268
2269Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
2270features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
2271not recommended.
2272
2273``flow`` syntax
2274~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2275
2276Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
2277of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
2278other commands, in particular:
2279
2280- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
2281  token, not that of the entire command.
2282
2283- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
2284  in the contextual help).
2285
2286The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
2287their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
2288following sections.
2289
2290- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
2291
2292   flow validate {port_id}
2293       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2294       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2295       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2296
2297- Create a flow rule::
2298
2299   flow create {port_id}
2300       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2301       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2302       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2303
2304- Destroy specific flow rules::
2305
2306   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
2307
2308- Destroy all flow rules::
2309
2310   flow flush {port_id}
2311
2312- Query an existing flow rule::
2313
2314   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
2315
2316- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
2317  identifiers::
2318
2319   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
2320
2321Validating flow rules
2322~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2323
2324``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
2325underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
2326bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
2327
2328   flow validate {port_id}
2329      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2330      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2331      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2332
2333If successful, it will show::
2334
2335   Flow rule validated
2336
2337Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
2338
2339   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2340
2341This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
2342described in `Creating flow rules`_.
2343
2344Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
2345index 6 is supported::
2346
2347   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
2348      actions queue index 6 / end
2349   Flow rule validated
2350   testpmd>
2351
2352Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
2353
2354   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
2355      actions drop / end
2356   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
2357   testpmd>
2358
2359Creating flow rules
2360~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2361
2362``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
2363to ``rte_flow_create()``::
2364
2365   flow create {port_id}
2366      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2367      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2368      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2369
2370If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
2371
2372   Flow rule #[...] created
2373
2374Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
2375
2376   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2377
2378Parameters describe in the following order:
2379
2380- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress* tokens).
2381- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
2382  *end* pattern item.
2383- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
2384  action.
2385
2386These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
2387underlying functions.
2388
2389The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
2390
2391   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
2392
2393Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
2394one.
2395
2396**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
2397
2398Attributes
2399^^^^^^^^^^
2400
2401These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
2402specified before the ``pattern`` token.
2403
2404- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
2405- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
2406- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
2407- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
2408
2409Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
2410value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
2411
2412   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
2413
2414Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
2415
2416While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
2417simultaneously.
2418
2419Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
2420
2421   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
2422
2423Matching pattern
2424^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2425
2426A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
2427items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
2428
2429Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
2430rte_flow_item_type``).
2431
2432The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
2433below::
2434
2435   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
2436
2437Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
2438layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
2439unlikely to match any packet::
2440
2441   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
2442
2443More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
2444documentation.
2445
2446Several items support additional specification structures, for example
2447``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
2448
2449   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
2450      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
2451
2452This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
2453
2454In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
2455``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
2456in a similar fashion.
2457
2458The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
2459and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
2460accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
2461
2462- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
2463- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
2464- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
2465- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
2466- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask from a prefix length.
2467
2468These yield identical results::
2469
2470   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
2471
2472::
2473
2474   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
2475
2476::
2477
2478   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
2479
2480::
2481
2482   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
2483
2484::
2485
2486   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
2487
2488Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
2489
2490   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
2491
2492Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
2493
2494   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
2495      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
2496
2497Properties can be modified multiple times::
2498
2499   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
2500
2501::
2502
2503   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
2504

2611Actions list
2612^^^^^^^^^^^^
2613
2614A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
2615`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
2616terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
2617
2618Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
2619rte_flow_action_type``).
2620
2621Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
2622
2623   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2624      actions drop / end
2625
2626Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
2627there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
2628queue index.
2629
2630This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
2631
2632   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2633      actions queue index 6 / end
2634
2635While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
2636
2637   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2638      actions queue / end
2639
2640As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
2641rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
2642
2643   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
2644
2645::
2646
2647   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
2648
2649All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
2650action of a given type is taken into account::
2651
2652   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
2653
2654::
2655
2656   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
2657
2658::
2659
2660   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
2661
2662Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
2663actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
2664
2665   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
2666
2667::
2668
2669   drop / dup index 6 / end # same as above
2670
2671::
2672
2673   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
2674
2675::
2676
2677   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
2678
2679Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
2680
2681Actions
2682^^^^^^^

2721Destroying flow rules
2722~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2723
2724``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
2725by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
2726times as necessary::
2727
2728   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
2729
2730If successful, it will show::
2731
2732   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
2733
2734It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
2735message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
2736
2737   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2738
2739``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
2740arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
2741
2742   flow flush {port_id}
2743
2744Any errors are reported as above.
2745
2746Creating several rules and destroying them::
2747
2748   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2749      actions queue index 2 / end
2750   Flow rule #0 created
2751   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2752      actions queue index 3 / end
2753   Flow rule #1 created
2754   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
2755   Flow rule #1 destroyed
2756   Flow rule #0 destroyed
2757   testpmd>
2758
2759The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
2760
2761   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2762      actions queue index 2 / end
2763   Flow rule #0 created
2764   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2765      actions queue index 3 / end
2766   Flow rule #1 created
2767   testpmd> flow flush 0
2768   testpmd>
2769
2770Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
2771
2772   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2773      actions queue index 2 / end
2774   Flow rule #0 created
2775   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2776      actions queue index 3 / end
2777   Flow rule #1 created
2778   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
2779   testpmd>
2780   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
2781   Flow rule #0 destroyed
2782   testpmd>
2783
2784Querying flow rules
2785~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2786
2787``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
2788ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
2789command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
2790
2791   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
2792
2793If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
2794or the following message::
2795
2796   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
2797
2798Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
2799error occurred::
2800
2801   Flow rule #[...] not found
2802
2803::
2804
2805   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2806
2807Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
2808number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
2809output has the following format::
2810
2811   count:
2812    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
2813    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
2814    hits: [...] # number of packets
2815    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
2816
2817Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
2818
2819   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
2820      actions queue index 6 / count / end
2821   Flow rule #4 created
2822   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
2823   count:
2824    hits_set: 1
2825    bytes_set: 0
2826    hits: 386446
2827    bytes: 0
2828   testpmd>
2829
2830Listing flow rules
2831~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2832
2833``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
2834filtered by group identifiers::
2835
2836   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
2837
2838This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
2839exist::
2840
2841   Invalid port [...]
2842
2843Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
2844flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
2845configured on the device::
2846
2847   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2848   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
2849
2850``Attr`` column flags:
2851
2852- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
2853- ``e`` for ``egress``.
2854
2855Creating several flow rules and listing them::
2856
2857   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2858      actions queue index 6 / end
2859   Flow rule #0 created
2860   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2861      actions queue index 2 / end
2862   Flow rule #1 created
2863   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2864      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
2865   Flow rule #2 created
2866   testpmd> flow list 0
2867   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2868   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
2869   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
2870   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
2871   testpmd>
2872
2873Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
2874
2875   testpmd> flow list 1
2876   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2877   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
2878   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
2879   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
2880   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
2881   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
2882   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
2883   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
2884   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
2885   testpmd>
2886
2887Output can be limited to specific groups::
2888
2889   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
2890   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2891   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
2892   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
2893   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
2894   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
2895   testpmd>
2896
2897Sample QinQ flow rules
2898~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2899
2900Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
2901
2902   testpmd> port stop 0
2903   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
2904
2905The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
2906
2907To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
2908
2909   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
2910   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
2911   testpmd> port start 0
2912
2913Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
2914
2915::
2916
2917   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
2918       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
2919   Flow rule #0 validated
2920
2921   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
2922       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 123 / queue index 0 / end
2923   Flow rule #0 created
2924
2925   testpmd> flow list 0
2926   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2927   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
2928
2929Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
2930
2931::
2932
2933   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
2934        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end
2935   Flow rule #1 validated
2936
2937   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
2938        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 1 / end
2939   Flow rule #1 created
2940
2941   testpmd> flow list 0
2942   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2943   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
2944   1       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>PF QUEUE
