6Testpmd Runtime Functions
7=========================
8
9Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
10it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
11configure the application, display statistics (including the extended NIC
12statistics aka xstats) , set the Flow Director and other tasks::
13
14   testpmd>
15
16The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
17Common bash command-line functions such as ``Ctrl+a`` and ``Ctrl+e`` to go to the start and end of the prompt line are supported
18as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
19
20There is also support for tab completion.
21If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
22
23.. code-block:: console
24
25   testpmd> show port <TAB>
26
27       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
28       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
29       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
30       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
31       ...
32
33
34.. note::
35
36   Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
37
38      testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
39               (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
40
41In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
42
43Help Functions
44--------------
45
46The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
47These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
48
49.. code-block:: console
50
51   testpmd> help
52
53       help control    : Start and stop forwarding.
54       help display    : Displaying port, stats and config information.
55       help config     : Configuration information.
56       help ports      : Configuring ports.
57       help registers  : Reading and setting port registers.
58       help filters    : Filters configuration help.
59       help all        : All of the above sections.
60
61
62Command File Functions
63----------------------
64
65To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
66practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
67
68* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
69  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
70  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
71
72.. code-block:: console
73
74   ./testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

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

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

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

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

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

526This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
527
528set burst
529~~~~~~~~~
530
531Set number of packets per burst::
532
533   testpmd> set burst (num)
534
535This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.

537When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
538
539   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
540
541set txpkts
542~~~~~~~~~~
543
544Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
545
546   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
547
548Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
549
550set txsplit
551~~~~~~~~~~~
552
553Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
554
555   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
556
557Where:
558
559* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
560
561* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
562  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
563  (see above).
564
565* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
566
567set corelist
568~~~~~~~~~~~~
569
570Set the list of forwarding cores::
571

589   The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
590
591set portlist
592~~~~~~~~~~~~
593
594Set the list of forwarding ports::
595
596   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)
597
598For example, to change the port forwarding:
599
600.. code-block:: console
601
602   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3

881* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
882
883* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
884  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
885  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
886
887* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
888  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, vxlan-gpe are
889  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.

901		queue_start_index (value) queue_num (value)
902
903Set flowtype mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::
904
905   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) flowtype (value)
906
907where:
908
909* For the flowtype(pctype) of packet,the specific index for each type has
910  been defined in file i40e_type.h as enum i40e_filter_pctype.
911
912Set user priority mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::
913
914   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region UP (value) region_id (value)
915
916Flush all queue region related configuration on a port::
917
918   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region flush (on|off)
919
920where:
921
922* "on"is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
923  it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
924  at first will only keep in DPDK softwarestored in driver,
925  only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.
926  "off" is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
927  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
928
929Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
930
931   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
932
933.. note::
934
935  Queue region only support on PF by now, so these command is
936  only for configuration of queue region on PF port.
937
938csum parse-tunnel
939~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
940
941Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
942engine::
943
944   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
945
946If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
947tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
948
949If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
950header is handled as a packet payload).
951
952.. note::
953
954   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
955
956Example:
957
958Consider a packet in packet like the following::
959
960   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
961
962* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
963  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
964  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
965
966* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
967   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.
968
969csum show
970~~~~~~~~~
971
972Display tx checksum offload configuration::
973
974   testpmd> csum show (port_id)
975
976tso set
977~~~~~~~
978
979Enable TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) in the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
980
981   testpmd> tso set (segsize) (port_id)
982
983.. note::
984
985   Check the NIC datasheet for hardware limits.
986
987tso show
988~~~~~~~~
989
990Display the status of TCP Segmentation Offload::
991
992   testpmd> tso show (port_id)
993
994set port - gro
995~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
996
997Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
998
999   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1000
1001If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1002packets received from the given port.
1003
1004If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1005GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1006
1007.. note::
1008
1009   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1010   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1011   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1012   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1013   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1014   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1015   transmitted to.
1016
1017show port - gro
1018~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1019
1020Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1021
1022   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1023
1024set gro flush
1025~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1026
1027Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1028
1029   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1030
1031When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1032packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1033can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1034from the reassembly tables.
1035
1036The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1037engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1038operations.
1039
1040By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1041from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1042of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1043
1044Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1045stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1046stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1047
1048set port - gso
1049~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1050
1051Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1052
1053   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1054
1055If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1056packets, transmitted on the given port.
1057
1058If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1059By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1060
1061.. note::
1062
1063   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1064   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1065   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1066   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1067   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1068   GSO-enabled ports.
1069
1070   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1071   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1072
1073   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1074
1075   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1076
1077   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1078
1079   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1080   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1081   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1082   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1083   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1084   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1085
1086set gso segsz
1087~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1088
1089Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the
1090packet header and the packet payload for GSO-enabled ports (global)::
1091

1698Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1699Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1700
1701For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1702
1703.. code-block:: console
1704
1705   # Check the status of the available devices.
1706   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1707
1708   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver

1717   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1718   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1719

1726
1727To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1728
1729For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1730
1731.. code-block:: console
1732
1733   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1734   Attaching a new port...
1735   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1

1740   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1741   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1742   Done
1743
1744For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1745
1746.. code-block:: console
1747
1748   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1749   Attaching a new port...
1750   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1751   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1752   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1753   Done
1754
1755In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1756This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1757
1758For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1759the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1760
1761.. code-block:: console
1762
1763   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1764   Attaching a new port...

1767   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1768   Done
1769
1770
1771port detach
1772~~~~~~~~~~~
1773
1774Detach a specific port::
1775
1776   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1777
1778Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1779
1780For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1781
1782.. code-block:: console
1783
1784   testpmd> port stop 0
1785   Stopping ports...

1798
1799
1800For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1801
1802.. code-block:: console
1803
1804   testpmd> port stop 0
1805   Stopping ports...
1806   Done

1813   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1814   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1815   Done
1816
1817To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1818Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1819Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1820
1821For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1822
1823.. code-block:: console
1824
1825   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0

2153Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
2154
2155   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2156
2157For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2158
2159   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2160
2161
2162remove bonding slave
2163~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2164
2165Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2166
2167   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2168
2169For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2170
2171   testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
2172
2173set bonding mode
2174~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2175
2176Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device::
2177
2178   testpmd> set bonding mode (value) (port id)
2179
2180For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3)::

2222
2223This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2224When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2225link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2226
2227   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
2228
2229For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::

2270Register Functions
2271------------------
2272
2273The Register Functions can be used to read from and write to registers on the network card referenced by a port number.
2274This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
2275Reference should be made to the appropriate datasheet for the network card for details on the register addresses
2276and fields that can be accessed.
2277
2278read reg
2279~~~~~~~~
2280
2281Display the value of a port register::
2282
2283   testpmd> read reg (port_id) (address)
2284
2285For example, to examine the Flow Director control register (FDIRCTL, 0x0000EE000) on an Intel 82599 10 GbE Controller::
2286
2287   testpmd> read reg 0 0xEE00
2288   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x4A060029 (1241907241)
2289
2290read regfield
2291~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2292
2293Display a port register bit field::
2294
2295   testpmd> read regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y)
2296
2297For example, reading the lowest two bits from the register in the example above::
2298
2299   testpmd> read regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1
2300   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bits[0, 1]=0x1 (1)

2304
2305Display a single port register bit::
2306
2307   testpmd> read regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x)
2308
2309For example, reading the lowest bit from the register in the example above::
2310
2311   testpmd> read regbit 0 0xEE00 0
2312   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bit 0=1
2313
2314write reg
2315~~~~~~~~~
2316
2317Set the value of a port register::
2318
2319   testpmd> write reg (port_id) (address) (value)
2320
2321For example, to clear a register::
2322
2323   testpmd> write reg 0 0xEE00 0x0
2324   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000000 (0)
2325
2326write regfield
2327~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2328
2329Set bit field of a port register::
2330
2331   testpmd> write regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y) (value)
2332
2333For example, writing to the register cleared in the example above::
2334
2335   testpmd> write regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1 2
2336   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000002 (2)
2337
2338write regbit
2339~~~~~~~~~~~~
2340
2341Set single bit value of a port register::
2342
2343   testpmd> write regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (value)
2344
2345For example, to set the high bit in the register from the example above::
2346
2347   testpmd> write regbit 0 0xEE00 31 1
2348   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x8000000A (2147483658)

3020.. _testpmd_flow_director:
3021
3022flow_director_filter
3023~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3024
3025The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
3026
3027Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
3028Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
3029
3030* Perfect match filters.
3031  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3032  The masked fields are for IP flow.
3033
3034* Signature filters.
3035  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
3036
3037* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
3038  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3039  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
3040
3041* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
3042  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3043  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
3044
3045* Perfect-raw-flow-type match filters.
3046  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and pre-loaded raw (template) packet.
3047  The masked fields are specified by input sets.
3048
3049The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
3050per flow type and the flexible payload.
3051
3052The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
3053are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
3054
3055Note that for raw flow type mode the source and destination fields in the
3056raw packet buffer need to be presented in a reversed order with respect
3057to the expected received packets.
3058For example: IP source and destination addresses or TCP/UDP/SCTP
3059source and destination ports
3060
3061Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

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

3693
3694- ``icmp6_nd_opt_sla_eth``: match ICMPv6 neighbor discovery target Ethernet
3695  link-layer address option.
3696

3702
3703Actions list
3704^^^^^^^^^^^^
3705
3706A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3707`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3708terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3709
3710Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3711rte_flow_action_type``).
3712
3713Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3714
3715   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3716      actions drop / end
3717
3718Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3719there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3720queue index.
3721
3722This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3723
3724   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3725      actions queue index 6 / end
3726
3727While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3728
3729   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3730      actions queue / end
3731
3732As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3733rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3734
3735   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3736
3737::
3738
3739   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3740
3741All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3742action of a given type is taken into account::
3743
3744   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3745
3746::
3747
3748   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3749
3750::
3751
3752   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3753
3754Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3755actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3756
3757   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3758
3759::
3760
3761   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3762
3763::
3764
3765   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3766
3767Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
3768

3946Destroying flow rules
3947~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3948
3949``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
3950by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
3951times as necessary::
3952
3953   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3954
3955If successful, it will show::
3956
3957   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
3958
3959It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
3960message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
3961
3962   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3963
3964``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
3965arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
3966
3967   flow flush {port_id}
3968
3969Any errors are reported as above.
3970
3971Creating several rules and destroying them::
3972
3973   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3974      actions queue index 2 / end
3975   Flow rule #0 created
3976   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3977      actions queue index 3 / end
3978   Flow rule #1 created
3979   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
3980   Flow rule #1 destroyed
3981   Flow rule #0 destroyed
3982   testpmd>
3983
3984The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
3985
3986   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3987      actions queue index 2 / end
3988   Flow rule #0 created
3989   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3990      actions queue index 3 / end
3991   Flow rule #1 created
3992   testpmd> flow flush 0
3993   testpmd>
3994
3995Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
3996
3997   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3998      actions queue index 2 / end
3999   Flow rule #0 created
4000   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4001      actions queue index 3 / end
4002   Flow rule #1 created
4003   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4004   testpmd>
4005   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4006   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4007   testpmd>
4008
4009Querying flow rules
4010~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4011
4012``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4013ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4014command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4015
4016   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4017
4018If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4019or the following message::
4020
4021   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4022
4023Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4024error occurred::
4025
4026   Flow rule #[...] not found
4027
4028::
4029
4030   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4031
4032Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4033number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4034output has the following format::
4035
4036   count:
4037    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4038    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4039    hits: [...] # number of packets
4040    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4041
4042Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4043
4044   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4045      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4046   Flow rule #4 created
4047   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4048   count:
4049    hits_set: 1
4050    bytes_set: 0
4051    hits: 386446
4052    bytes: 0
4053   testpmd>
4054
4055Listing flow rules
4056~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4057
4058``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4059filtered by group identifiers::
4060
4061   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4062
4063This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4064exist::
4065
4066   Invalid port [...]
4067
4068Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4069flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4070configured on the device::
4071
4072   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4073   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4074
4075``Attr`` column flags:
4076
4077- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4078- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4079
4080Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4081
4082   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4083      actions queue index 6 / end
4084   Flow rule #0 created
4085   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4086      actions queue index 2 / end
4087   Flow rule #1 created
4088   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4089      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4090   Flow rule #2 created
4091   testpmd> flow list 0
4092   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4093   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4094   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4095   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4096   testpmd>
4097
4098Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4099
4100   testpmd> flow list 1
4101   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4102   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4103   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4104   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4105   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4106   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4107   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4108   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4109   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4110   testpmd>
4111
4112Output can be limited to specific groups::
4113
4114   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4115   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4116   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4117   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4118   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4119   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4120   testpmd>
4121
4122Toggling isolated mode
4123~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4124
4125``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4126must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4127is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4128resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4129
4130 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4131
4132If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4133
4134 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4135    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4136
4137Or::
4138
4139 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4140    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4141
4142Otherwise, in case of error::
4143
4144   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4145
4146Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4147ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4148first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4149
4150Enabling isolated mode::
4151
4152 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4153 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4154 testpmd>
4155
4156Disabling isolated mode::
4157
4158 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4159 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4160 testpmd>
4161
4162Sample QinQ flow rules
4163~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4164
4165Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4166
4167   testpmd> port stop 0
4168   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
4169
4170The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4171
4172To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4173
4174   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
4175   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
4176   testpmd> port start 0
4177
4178Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4179
4180::
4181
4182   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4183       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4184   Flow rule #0 validated
4185
4186   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
4187       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 123 / queue index 0 / end
4188   Flow rule #0 created
4189
4190   testpmd> flow list 0
4191   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule

4448BPF Functions
4449--------------
4450
4451The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
4452
4453bpf-load
4454~~~~~~~~
4455
4456Load an eBPF program as a callback for partciular RX/TX queue::
4457
4458   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
4459
4460The available load-flags are:
4461
4462* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
4463
4464* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
4465
4466* ``-``: none.
4467
4468.. note::
4469
4470   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
4471
4472For example:
4473
4474.. code-block:: console
4475
4476   cd test/bpf
4477   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
4478
4479Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1::
4480
4481.. code-block:: console
4482
4483   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4484
4485To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0::
4486
4487.. code-block:: console
4488
4489   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4490
4491bpf-unload
4492~~~~~~~~~~
4493
4494Unload previously loaded eBPF program for partciular RX/TX queue::
4495
4496   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
4497
4498For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
4499
4500.. code-block:: console
4501
4502   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4503
