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|dcb_tc|cap X
28       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap all
29       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap X
30       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|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

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.

302
303   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
304   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
305   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
306   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
307   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
308   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
309   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
310
311set fwd
312~~~~~~~
313
314Set the packet forwarding mode::
315
316   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
317                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap) (""|retry)
318
319``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
320
321The available information categories are:
322
323* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
324  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
325  This is the default mode.
326
327* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
328  Default application behavior is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
329  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
330  'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
331
332* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
333  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
334
335* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
336  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
337
338* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
339
340* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
341
342* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
343
344* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
345
346* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX.
347
348* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
349  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
350  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
351
352* ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
353
354  L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
355
356  L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
357
358  L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
359
360Example::
361
362   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
363
364   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
365
366
367show fwd
368~~~~~~~~
369
370When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.

639Configuration Functions
640-----------------------
641
642The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
643
644This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
645
646.. note::
647
648   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
649
650set default
651~~~~~~~~~~~
652
653Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
654
655   testpmd> set default
656
657set verbose
658~~~~~~~~~~~
659
660Set the debug verbosity level::
661
662   testpmd> set verbose (level)
663
664Available levels are as following:
665
666* ``0`` silent except for error.
667* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
668* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
669* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
670
671set log
672~~~~~~~
673
674Set the log level for a log type::
675
676	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
677
678Where:
679
680* ``type`` is the log name.
681
682* ``level`` is the log level.
683
684For example, to change the global log level::
685
686	testpmd> set log global (level)
687
688Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
689
690	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
691
692set nbport
693~~~~~~~~~~
694
695Set the number of ports used by the application:
696
697set nbport (num)
698
699This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
700
701set nbcore
702~~~~~~~~~~
703
704Set the number of cores used by the application::
705
706   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
707
708This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
709
710.. note::
711
712   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
713
714set coremask
715~~~~~~~~~~~~
716
717Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
718
719   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
720
721This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
722
723.. note::
724
725   The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
726
727set portmask
728~~~~~~~~~~~~
729
730Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
731
732   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
733
734This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
735
736set record-core-cycles
737~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
738
739Set the recording of CPU cycles::
740
741   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
742
743Where:
744
745* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
746
747* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
748
749This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
750
751set record-burst-stats
752~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
753
754Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
755
756   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
757
758Where:
759
760* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
761
762* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
763
764This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
765
766set burst
767~~~~~~~~~
768
769Set number of packets per burst::
770
771   testpmd> set burst (num)
772
773This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
774
775When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
776
777   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
778
779set rxoffs
780~~~~~~~~~~
781
782Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
783if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
784offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
785
786   testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
787
788Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
789of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
790for the remaining segments.
791
792set rxpkts
793~~~~~~~~~~
794
795Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
796feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
797(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
798pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
799to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
800mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
801from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
802mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
803
804   testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
805
806Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
807means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
808
809set txpkts
810~~~~~~~~~~
811
812Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
813
814   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
815
816Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
817
818set txtimes
819~~~~~~~~~~~
820
821Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
822the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
823timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
824application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
825to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
826and between the packets within the burst::
827
828   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
829
830where:
831
832* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
833  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
834  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
835  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
836  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
837  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
838  on timestamps is disabled (default).
839
840* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
841  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
842  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
843  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
844
845As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
846delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
847the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
848and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
849and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
850rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
851
852set txsplit
853~~~~~~~~~~~
854
855Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
856
857   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
858
859Where:
860
861* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
862
863* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
864  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
865  (see above).
866
867* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
868
869set corelist
870~~~~~~~~~~~~
871
872Set the list of forwarding cores::
873
874   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
875
876For example, to change the forwarding cores:
877
878.. code-block:: console
879
880   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
881   testpmd> show config fwd
882
883   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
884   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
885   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
886   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
887   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
888
889.. note::

891   The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
892
893set portlist
894~~~~~~~~~~~~
895
896Set the list of forwarding ports::
897
898   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)

903
904   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
905   testpmd> show config fwd
906
907   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
908   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
909   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
910   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
911   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03

1135  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gre, gtp, ipip, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1136  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1137
1138* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
1139  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gtp, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1140  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1141
1142.. note::
1143
1144   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
1145

1169   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region flush (on|off)
1170
1171where:
1172
1173* ``on``: is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
1174  it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
1175  at first will only keep in DPDK software stored in driver,
1176  only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.
1177
1178* ``"off``: is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
1179  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
1180
1181Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
1182
1183   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
1184
1185.. note::
1186
1187  Queue region only support on PF by now, so these command is
1188  only for configuration of queue region on PF port.
1189
1190csum parse-tunnel
1191~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1192
1193Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1194engine::
1195
1196   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1197
1198If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1199tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1200
1201If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1202header is handled as a packet payload).
1203
1204.. note::
1205
1206   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1207
1208Example:
1209
1210Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1211
1212   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1213
1214* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1215  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1216  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1217
1218* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1219   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1260set port - gro
1261~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1262
1263Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1264
1265   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1266
1267If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1268packets received from the given port.
1269
1270If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1271GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1272
1273.. note::
1274
1275   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1276   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1277   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1278   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1279   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1280   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1281   transmitted to.
1282
1283show port - gro
1284~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1285
1286Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1287
1288   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1289
1290set gro flush
1291~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1292
1293Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1294
1295   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1296
1297When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1298packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1299can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1300from the reassembly tables.
1301
1302The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1303engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1304operations.
1305
1306By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1307from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1308of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1309
1310Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1311stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1312stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1313
1314set port - gso
1315~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1316
1317Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1318
1319   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1320
1321If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1322packets, transmitted on the given port.
1323
1324If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1325By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1326
1327.. note::
1328
1329   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1330   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1331   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1332   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1333   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1334   GSO-enabled ports.
1335
1336   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1337   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1338
1339   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1340
1341   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1342
1343   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1344
1345   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1346   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1347   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1348   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1349   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1350   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1351
1352set gso segsz

1937rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1938
1939 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1940
1941There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1942internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1943If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1944
1945 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1946
1947the default index ``0`` is used.

2005Port Functions
2006--------------
2007
2008The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
2009
2010.. note::
2011
2012   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
2013
2014port attach
2015~~~~~~~~~~~
2016
2017Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2018
2019   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
2020
2021To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
2022Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
2023Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
2024
2025For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
2026
2027.. code-block:: console
2028
2029   # Check the status of the available devices.
2030   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2031
2032   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2033   ============================================
2034   <none>
2035
2036   Network devices using kernel driver
2037   ===================================
2038   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
2039
2040
2041   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
2042   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
2043
2044
2045   # Recheck the status of the devices.
2046   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2047   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2048   ============================================
2049   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
2050
2051To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2052
2053For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
2054
2055.. code-block:: console
2056
2057   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
2058   Attaching a new port...
2059   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2060   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2061   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2062   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2063   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
2064   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
2065   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2066   Done
2067
2068For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
2069
2070.. code-block:: console
2071
2072   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
2073   Attaching a new port...
2074   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
2075   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
2076   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2077   Done
2078
2079In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2080This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2081
2082For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
2083the mode and slave parameters must be given.
2084
2085.. code-block:: console
2086
2087   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
2088   Attaching a new port...
2089   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
2090   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
2091   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2092   Done
2093
2094
2095port detach
2096~~~~~~~~~~~
2097
2098Detach a specific port::
2099
2100   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
2101
2102Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
2103
2104For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
2105
2106.. code-block:: console
2107
2108   testpmd> port stop 0
2109   Stopping ports...
2110   Done
2111   testpmd> port close 0
2112   Closing ports...
2113   Done
2114
2115   testpmd> port detach 0
2116   Detaching a port...
2117   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2118   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2119   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2120   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2121   Done
2122
2123
2124For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2125
2126.. code-block:: console
2127
2128   testpmd> port stop 0
2129   Stopping ports...
2130   Done
2131   testpmd> port close 0
2132   Closing ports...
2133   Done
2134
2135   testpmd> port detach 0
2136   Detaching a port...
2137   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2138   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2139   Done
2140
2141To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2142Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2143Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2144
2145For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2146
2147.. code-block:: console
2148
2149   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2150
2151   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

2262
2263Enable or disable packet drop on all RX queues of all ports when no receive buffers available::
2264
2265   testpmd> port config all drop-en (on|off)
2266
2267Packet dropping when no receive buffers available is off by default.
2268
2269The ``on`` option is equivalent to the ``--enable-drop-en`` command-line option.
2270
2271port config - RSS
2272~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2273
2274Set the RSS (Receive Side Scaling) mode on or off::

2276   testpmd> port config all rss (all|default|eth|vlan|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|port|vxlan|geneve|nvgre|vxlan-gpe|l2tpv3|esp|ah|pfcp|ecpri|mpls|none)
2277
2278RSS is on by default.
2279
2280The ``all`` option is equivalent to eth|vlan|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|l2tpv3|esp|ah|pfcp.
2281
2282The ``default`` option enables all supported RSS types reported by device info.
2283
2284The ``none`` option is equivalent to the ``--disable-rss`` command-line option.

2297
2298   testpmd> port config (port_id) dcb vt (on|off) (traffic_class) pfc (on|off)
2299
2300The traffic class should be 4 or 8.
2301
2302port config - Burst
2303~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2304
2305Set the number of packets per burst::
2306
2307   testpmd> port config all burst (value)
2308
2309This is equivalent to the ``--burst`` command-line option.
2310
2311port config - Threshold
2312~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2313
2314Set thresholds for TX/RX queues::
2315
2316   testpmd> port config all (threshold) (value)
2317
2318Where the threshold type can be:
2319
2320* ``txpt:`` Set the prefetch threshold register of the TX rings, 0 <= value <= 255.
2321
2322* ``txht:`` Set the host threshold register of the TX rings, 0 <= value <= 255.
2323

2334* ``rxfreet:`` Set the transmit free threshold of the RX rings, 0 <= value <= rxd.
2335
2336* ``txrst:`` Set the transmit RS bit threshold of TX rings, 0 <= value <= txd.
2337
2338These threshold options are also available from the command-line.
2339
2340port config pctype mapping
2341~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2356
2357port config input set
2358~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2359
2360Config RSS/FDIR/FDIR flexible payload input set for some pctype::

2364	    (get|set|clear) field (field_idx)
2365
2366Clear RSS/FDIR/FDIR flexible payload input set for some pctype::
2367
2368   testpmd> port config (port_id) pctype (pctype_id) \
2369            (hash_inset|fdir_inset|fdir_flx_inset) clear all
2370
2371where:

2390
2391port config dynf
2392~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2393
2394Set/clear dynamic flag per port.
2395testpmd will register this flag in the mbuf (same registration
2396for both Tx and Rx). Then set/clear this flag for each Tx
2397packet sent from this port. The set bit only works for Tx packet::
2398
2399   testpmd> port config (port_id) dynf (name) (set|clear)
2400
2401port config mtu
2402~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

2496For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2497
2498   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2499
2500
2501remove bonding slave
2502~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2503
2504Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2505
2506   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2507
2508For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::

2552For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2553
2554   testpmd> set bonding balance_xmit_policy 10 l34
2555
2556
2557set bonding mon_period
2558~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2561
2562This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2563When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2564link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2565
2566   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)

3224Filter Functions
3225----------------
3226
3227This section details the available filter functions that are available.
3228
3229Note these functions interface the deprecated legacy filtering framework,
3230superseded by *rte_flow*. See `Flow rules management`_.
3231
3232.. _testpmd_flow_director:
3233
3234flow_director_mask
3235~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3236
3237Set flow director's input masks::
3238
3239   flow_director_mask (port_id) mode IP vlan (vlan_value) \
3240                      src_mask (ipv4_src) (ipv6_src) (src_port) \
3241                      dst_mask (ipv4_dst) (ipv6_dst) (dst_port)
3242
3243   flow_director_mask (port_id) mode MAC-VLAN vlan (vlan_value)
3244

3271
3272Flow rules management
3273---------------------
3274
3275Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3276``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3277modes).
3278
3279Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3280features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3281not recommended.
3282
3283``flow`` syntax
3284~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3285
3286Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3287of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3288other commands, in particular:
3289
3290- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3291  token, not that of the entire command.
3292
3293- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3294  in the contextual help).
3295
3296The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3297their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3298following sections.
3299
3300- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3301
3302   flow validate {port_id}
3303       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3304       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3305       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3306
3307- Create a flow rule::
3308
3309   flow create {port_id}
3310       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3311       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3312       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3313
3314- Destroy specific flow rules::
3315
3316   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3317
3318- Destroy all flow rules::
3319
3320   flow flush {port_id}
3321
3322- Query an existing flow rule::
3323
3324   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3325
3326- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3327  identifiers::
3328
3329   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3330
3331- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3332
3333   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3334
3335- Dump internal representation information of all flows in hardware::
3336
3337   flow dump {port_id} all {output_file}
3338
3339  for one flow::
3340
3341   flow dump {port_id} rule {rule_id} {output_file}
3342
3343- List and destroy aged flow rules::
3344
3345   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
3346
3347- Tunnel offload - create a tunnel stub::
3348
3349   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3350
3351- Tunnel offload - destroy a tunnel stub::
3352
3353   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3354
3355- Tunnel offload - list port tunnel stubs::
3356
3357   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3358
3359Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3360~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3361
3362``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3363
3364   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3365
3366If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3367
3368   port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3369
3370Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3371
3372Destroying tunnel offload stub
3373~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3374
3375``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3376
3377   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3378
3379Listing tunnel offload stubs
3380~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3381
3382``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3383
3384   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3385
3386Validating flow rules
3387~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3388
3389``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3390underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3391bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3392
3393   flow validate {port_id}
3394      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3395      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3396      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3397
3398If successful, it will show::
3399
3400   Flow rule validated
3401
3402Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3403
3404   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3405
3406This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3407described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3408
3409Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3410index 6 is supported::
3411
3412   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3413      actions queue index 6 / end
3414   Flow rule validated
3415   testpmd>
3416
3417Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3418
3419   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3420      actions drop / end
3421   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3422   testpmd>
3423
3424Creating flow rules
3425~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3426
3427``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3428to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3429
3430   flow create {port_id}
3431      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3432      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3433      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3434      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3435
3436If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3437
3438   Flow rule #[...] created
3439
3440Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3441
3442   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3443
3444Parameters describe in the following order:
3445
3446- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3447- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3448- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3449  *end* pattern item.
3450- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3451  action.
3452
3453These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3454underlying functions.
3455
3456The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3457
3458   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3459
3460Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3461one.
3462
3463**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3464
3465Attributes
3466^^^^^^^^^^
3467
3468These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3469specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3470
3471- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3472- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3473- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3474- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3475- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3476
3477Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3478value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3479
3480   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3481
3482Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3483
3484While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3485simultaneously.
3486
3487Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3488
3489   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3490
3491Tunnel offload
3492^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3493
3494Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3495
3496- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3497- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunel offload match type.
3498
3499Matching pattern
3500^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3501
3502A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3503items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3504
3505Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3506rte_flow_item_type``).
3507
3508The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3509below::
3510
3511   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3512
3513Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3514layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3515unlikely to match any packet::
3516
3517   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3518
3519More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3520documentation.
3521
3522Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3523``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3524
3525   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3526      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3527
3528This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3529
3530In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3531``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3532in a similar fashion.
3533
3534The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3535and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3536accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3537
3538- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3539- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3540- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3541- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3542- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3543
3544These yield identical results::
3545
3546   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3547
3548::
3549
3550   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3551
3552::
3553
3554   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3555
3556::
3557
3558   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3559
3560::
3561
3562   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3563
3564Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3565
3566   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3567
3568Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3569
3570   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3571      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3572
3573Properties can be modified multiple times::
3574
3575   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3576
3577::
3578
3579   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3580

3813Actions list
3814^^^^^^^^^^^^
3815
3816A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3817`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3818terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3819
3820Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3821rte_flow_action_type``).
3822
3823Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3824
3825   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3826      actions drop / end
3827
3828Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3829there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3830queue index.
3831
3832This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3833
3834   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3835      actions queue index 6 / end
3836
3837While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3838
3839   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3840      actions queue / end
3841
3842As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3843rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3844
3845   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3846
3847::
3848
3849   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3850
3851All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3852action of a given type is taken into account::
3853
3854   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3855
3856::
3857
3858   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3859
3860::
3861
3862   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3863
3864Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3865actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3866
3867   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3868
3869::
3870
3871   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3872
3873::
3874
3875   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3876
3877Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4088Destroying flow rules
4089~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4090
4091``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4092by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4093times as necessary::
4094
4095   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4096
4097If successful, it will show::
4098
4099   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4100
4101It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4102message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4103
4104   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4105
4106``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4107arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4108
4109   flow flush {port_id}
4110
4111Any errors are reported as above.
4112
4113Creating several rules and destroying them::
4114
4115   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4116      actions queue index 2 / end
4117   Flow rule #0 created
4118   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4119      actions queue index 3 / end
4120   Flow rule #1 created
4121   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4122   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4123   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4124   testpmd>
4125
4126The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4127
4128   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4129      actions queue index 2 / end
4130   Flow rule #0 created
4131   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4132      actions queue index 3 / end
4133   Flow rule #1 created
4134   testpmd> flow flush 0
4135   testpmd>
4136
4137Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4138
4139   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4140      actions queue index 2 / end
4141   Flow rule #0 created
4142   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4143      actions queue index 3 / end
4144   Flow rule #1 created
4145   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4146   testpmd>
4147   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4148   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4149   testpmd>
4150
4151Querying flow rules
4152~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4153
4154``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4155ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4156command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4157
4158   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4159
4160If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4161or the following message::
4162
4163   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4164
4165Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4166error occurred::
4167
4168   Flow rule #[...] not found
4169
4170::
4171
4172   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4173
4174Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4175number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4176output has the following format::
4177
4178   count:
4179    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4180    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4181    hits: [...] # number of packets
4182    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4183
4184Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4185
4186   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4187      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4188   Flow rule #4 created
4189   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4190   count:
4191    hits_set: 1
4192    bytes_set: 0
4193    hits: 386446
4194    bytes: 0
4195   testpmd>
4196
4197Listing flow rules
4198~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4199
4200``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4201filtered by group identifiers::
4202
4203   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4204
4205This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4206exist::
4207
4208   Invalid port [...]
4209
4210Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4211flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4212configured on the device::
4213
4214   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4215   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4216
4217``Attr`` column flags:
4218
4219- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4220- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4221
4222Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4223
4224   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4225      actions queue index 6 / end
4226   Flow rule #0 created
4227   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4228      actions queue index 2 / end
4229   Flow rule #1 created
4230   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4231      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4232   Flow rule #2 created
4233   testpmd> flow list 0
4234   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4235   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4236   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4237   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4238   testpmd>
4239
4240Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4241
4242   testpmd> flow list 1
4243   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4244   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4245   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4246   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4247   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4248   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4249   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4250   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4251   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4252   testpmd>
4253
4254Output can be limited to specific groups::
4255
4256   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4257   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4258   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4259   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4260   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4261   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4262   testpmd>
4263
4264Toggling isolated mode
4265~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4266
4267``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4268must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4269is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4270resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4271
4272 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4273
4274If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4275
4276 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4277    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4278
4279Or::
4280
4281 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4282    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4283
4284Otherwise, in case of error::
4285
4286   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4287
4288Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4289ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4290first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4291
4292Enabling isolated mode::
4293
4294 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4295 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4296 testpmd>
4297
4298Disabling isolated mode::
4299
4300 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4301 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4302 testpmd>
4303
4304Dumping HW internal information
4305~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4306
4307``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4308all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4309
4310   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4311
4312If successful, it will show::
4313
4314   Flow dump finished
4315
4316Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4317
4318   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4319
4320Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4321~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4322
4323``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4324and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4325
4326   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4327
4328Listing current aged flow rules::
4329
4330   testpmd> flow aged 0
4331   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4332   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4333      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4334   Flow rule #0 created
4335   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4336      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4337   Flow rule #1 created
4338   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end

4346Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4347information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4348those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4349will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4350
4351   testpmd> flow aged 0
4352   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4353   ID      Group   Prio    Attr

4358
4359If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.

4377Creating indirect actions
4378~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4379
4380``flow indirect_action {port_id} create`` creates indirect action with optional
4381indirect action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_create()``::
4382
4383   flow indirect_action {port_id} create [action_id {indirect_action_id}]
4384      [ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
4385
4386If successful, it will show::
4387
4388   Indirect action #[...] created
4389
4390Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action already exists or that
4391some error occurred::
4392
4393   Indirect action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4394
4395::
4396
4397   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4398
4399Create indirect rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4400
4401   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id 100 \
4402      ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
4403
4404Create indirect rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
4405port 0::
4406
4407	testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id \
4408		ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4409
4410Updating indirect actions
4411~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4412
4413``flow indirect_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the indirect
4414action from its indirect action ID (as returned by
4415``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4416``rte_flow_action_handle_update()``::
4417
4418   flow indirect_action {port_id} update {indirect_action_id}
4419      action {action} / end
4420
4421If successful, it will show::
4422
4423   Indirect action #[...] updated
4424
4425Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4426error occurred::
4427
4428   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4429
4430::
4431
4432   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4433
4434Update indirect rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4435(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4436
4437   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4438
4439Destroying indirect actions
4440~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4441
4442``flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy`` destroys one or more indirect actions
4443from their indirect action IDs (as returned by
4444``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4445``rte_flow_action_handle_destroy()``::
4446
4447   flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy action_id {indirect_action_id} [...]
4448
4449If successful, it will show::
4450
4451   Indirect action #[...] destroyed
4452
4453It does not report anything for indirect action IDs that do not exist.
4454The usual error message is shown when a indirect action cannot be destroyed::
4455
4456   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4457
4458Destroy indirect actions having id 100 & 101::
4459
4460   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4461
4462Query indirect actions
4463~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4464
4465``flow indirect_action {port_id} query`` queries the indirect action from its
4466indirect action ID (as returned by ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``).
4467It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_query()``::
4468
4469  flow indirect_action {port_id} query {indirect_action_id}
4470
4471Currently only rss indirect action supported. If successful, it will show::
4472
4473   Indirect RSS action:
4474      refs:[...]
4475
4476Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4477error occurred::
4478
4479   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4480
4481::
4482
4483   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4484
4485Query indirect action having id 100::
4486
4487   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 query 100
4488
4489Sample QinQ flow rules
4490~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4491
4492Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4493
4494   testpmd> port stop 0
4495   testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4496
4497The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4498
4499To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4500
4501   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4502   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4503   testpmd> port start 0
4504
4505Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4506
4507::
4508
4509   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4510       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4511   Flow rule #0 validated

4519   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
4520
4521Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
4522
4523::
4524
4525   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4526        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end
4527   Flow rule #1 validated

4537
4538Sample VXLAN flow rules
4539~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4540
4541Before creating VXLAN rule(s), the UDP port should be added for VXLAN packet
4542filter on a port::
4543
4544  testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0
4545
4546Create VXLAN rules on port 0 to steer traffic to PF queues.

4966            pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / integrity value mask 8 value spec 8 / end
4967            actions jump group 1 / end
4968
4969Integrity rule that forwards invalid packets to application.
4970General packet integrity is matched with the ``packet_ok`` bit 0.

4974 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern integrity value mask 1 value spec 0 / end actions queue index 0 / end
4975
4976Sample conntrack rules
4977~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4978
4979Conntrack rules can be set by the following commands
4980
4981Need to construct the connection context with provided information.
4982In the first table, create a flow rule by using conntrack action and jump to
4983the next table. In the next table, create a rule to check the state.
4984
4985::
4986
4987 testpmd> set conntrack com peer 1 is_orig 1 enable 1 live 1 sack 1 cack 0
4988        last_dir 0 liberal 0 state 1 max_ack_win 7 r_lim 5 last_win 510
4989        last_seq 2632987379 last_ack 2532480967 last_end 2632987379
4990        last_index 0x8
4991 testpmd> set conntrack orig scale 7 fin 0 acked 1 unack_data 0
4992        sent_end 2632987379 reply_end 2633016339 max_win 28960
4993        max_ack 2632987379
4994 testpmd> set conntrack rply scale 7 fin 0 acked 1 unack_data 0
4995        sent_end 2532480967 reply_end 2532546247 max_win 65280
4996        max_ack 2532480967
4997 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create ingress action conntrack / end
4998 testpmd> flow create 0 group 3 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / end actions indirect 0 / jump group 5 / end
4999 testpmd> flow create 0 group 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / conntrack is 1 / end actions queue index 5 / end
5000
5001Construct the conntrack again with only "is_orig" set to 0 (other fields are
5002ignored), then use "update" interface to update the direction. Create flow
5003rules like above for the peer port.
5004
5005::
5006
5007 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 0 action conntrack_update dir / end
5008
5009Sample meter with policy rules
5010~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5011
5012Meter with policy rules can be created by the following commands:
5013
5014Need to create policy first and actions are set for green/yellow/red colors.
5015Create meter with policy id. Create flow with meter id.
5016
5017Example for policy with meter color action. The purpose is to color the packet
5018to reflect the meter color result.
5019The meter policy action list: ``green -> green, yellow -> yellow, red -> red``.
5020
5021::
5022
5023   testpmd> add port meter profile srtcm_rfc2697 0 13 21504 2688 0 0
5024   testpmd> add port meter policy 0 1 g_actions color type green / end y_actions color type yellow / end
5025            r_actions color type red / end
5026   testpmd> create port meter 0 1 13 1 yes 0xffff 0 0
5027   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 0 ingress group 1 pattern eth / end actions meter mtr_id 1 / end
5028
5029BPF Functions
5030--------------
5031
5032The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5033
5034bpf-load
5035~~~~~~~~
5036
5037Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5038
5039   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5040
5041The available load-flags are:
5042
5043* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5044
5045* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5046
5047* ``-``: none.
5048
5049.. note::
5050
5051   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5052
5053For example:
5054
5055.. code-block:: console
5056
5057   cd examples/bpf
5058   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5059
5060Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5061
5062.. code-block:: console
5063
5064   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5065
5066To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5067
5068.. code-block:: console
5069
5070   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5071
5072bpf-unload
5073~~~~~~~~~~
5074
5075Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5076
5077   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5078
5079For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5080
5081.. code-block:: console
5082
5083   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5084
