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

1955rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1956
1957 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1958
1959There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1960internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1961If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1962
1963 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1964
1965the default index ``0`` is used.

2023Port Functions
2024--------------
2025
2026The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
2027
2028.. note::
2029
2030   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
2031
2032port attach
2033~~~~~~~~~~~
2034
2035Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2036
2037   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
2038
2039To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
2040Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
2041Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
2042
2043For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
2044
2045.. code-block:: console
2046
2047   # Check the status of the available devices.
2048   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2049
2050   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2051   ============================================
2052   <none>
2053
2054   Network devices using kernel driver
2055   ===================================
2056   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
2057
2058
2059   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
2060   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
2061
2062
2063   # Recheck the status of the devices.
2064   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2065   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2066   ============================================
2067   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
2068
2069To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2070
2071For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
2072
2073.. code-block:: console
2074
2075   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
2076   Attaching a new port...
2077   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2078   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2079   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2080   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2081   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
2082   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
2083   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2084   Done
2085
2086For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
2087
2088.. code-block:: console
2089
2090   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
2091   Attaching a new port...
2092   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
2093   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
2094   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2095   Done
2096
2097In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2098This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2099
2100For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
2101the mode and slave parameters must be given.
2102
2103.. code-block:: console
2104
2105   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
2106   Attaching a new port...
2107   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
2108   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
2109   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2110   Done
2111
2112
2113port detach
2114~~~~~~~~~~~
2115
2116Detach a specific port::
2117
2118   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
2119
2120Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
2121
2122For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
2123
2124.. code-block:: console
2125
2126   testpmd> port stop 0
2127   Stopping ports...
2128   Done
2129   testpmd> port close 0
2130   Closing ports...
2131   Done
2132
2133   testpmd> port detach 0
2134   Detaching a port...
2135   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2136   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2137   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2138   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2139   Done
2140
2141
2142For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2143
2144.. code-block:: console
2145
2146   testpmd> port stop 0
2147   Stopping ports...
2148   Done
2149   testpmd> port close 0
2150   Closing ports...
2151   Done
2152
2153   testpmd> port detach 0
2154   Detaching a port...
2155   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2156   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2157   Done
2158
2159To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2160Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2161Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2162
2163For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2164
2165.. code-block:: console
2166
2167   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2168
2169   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

2254Set number of queues/descriptors for rxq, txq, rxd and txd::
2255
2256   testpmd> port config all (rxq|txq|rxd|txd) (value)
2257
2258This is equivalent to the ``--rxq``, ``--txq``, ``--rxd`` and ``--txd`` command-line options.
2259
2260port config - max-pkt-len

2284
2285Packet dropping when no receive buffers available is off by default.
2286
2287The ``on`` option is equivalent to the ``--enable-drop-en`` command-line option.
2288
2289port config - RSS
2290~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2291
2292Set the RSS (Receive Side Scaling) mode on or off::

2317
2318The traffic class should be 4 or 8.
2319
2320port config - Burst
2321~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2322
2323Set the number of packets per burst::
2324
2325   testpmd> port config all burst (value)

2439Device Functions
2440----------------
2441
2442The following sections show functions for device operations.
2443
2444device detach
2445~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2446
2447Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2448
2449   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2450
2451Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2452
2453For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2454
2455.. code-block:: console
2456
2457    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2458    Removing a device...
2459    Port 1 is now closed
2460    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2461    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2462    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2463    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2464    Now total ports is 1
2465
2466For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2467
2468.. code-block:: console
2469
2470    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2471    Removing a device...
2472    Port 0 is now closed
2473    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2474    Now total ports is 0
2475    Done
2476
2477In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2478This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2479
2480Link Bonding Functions

2503   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2504
2505For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2506
2507   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2508
2509
2510remove bonding slave
2511~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2512
2513Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2514
2515   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2516
2517For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::

2561For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2562
2563   testpmd> set bonding balance_xmit_policy 10 l34
2564
2565
2566set bonding mon_period
2567~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2570
2571This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2572When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2573link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2574
2575   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
2576
2577For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::

2603
2604   testpmd> show bonding config (port id)
2605
2606For example,
2607to show the configuration a Link Bonding device (port 9) with 3 slave devices (1, 3, 4)
2608in balance mode with a transmission policy of layer 2+3::
2609
2610   testpmd> show bonding config 9
2611        Bonding mode: 2
2612        Balance Xmit Policy: BALANCE_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER23

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

3791
3792Actions list
3793^^^^^^^^^^^^
3794
3795A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3796`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3797terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3798
3799Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3800rte_flow_action_type``).
3801
3802Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3803
3804   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3805      actions drop / end
3806
3807Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3808there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3809queue index.
3810
3811This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3812
3813   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3814      actions queue index 6 / end
3815
3816While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3817
3818   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3819      actions queue / end
3820
3821As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3822rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3823
3824   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3825
3826::
3827
3828   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3829
3830All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3831action of a given type is taken into account::
3832
3833   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3834
3835::
3836
3837   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3838
3839::
3840
3841   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3842
3843Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3844actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3845
3846   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3847
3848::
3849
3850   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3851
3852::
3853
3854   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3855
3856Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4063Destroying flow rules
4064~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4065
4066``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4067by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4068times as necessary::
4069
4070   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4071
4072If successful, it will show::
4073
4074   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4075
4076It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4077message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4078
4079   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4080
4081``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4082arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4083
4084   flow flush {port_id}
4085
4086Any errors are reported as above.
4087
4088Creating several rules and destroying them::
4089
4090   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4091      actions queue index 2 / end
4092   Flow rule #0 created
4093   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4094      actions queue index 3 / end
4095   Flow rule #1 created
4096   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4097   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4098   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4099   testpmd>
4100
4101The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4102
4103   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4104      actions queue index 2 / end
4105   Flow rule #0 created
4106   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4107      actions queue index 3 / end
4108   Flow rule #1 created
4109   testpmd> flow flush 0
4110   testpmd>
4111
4112Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4113
4114   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4115      actions queue index 2 / end
4116   Flow rule #0 created
4117   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4118      actions queue index 3 / end
4119   Flow rule #1 created
4120   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4121   testpmd>
4122   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4123   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4124   testpmd>
4125
4126Querying flow rules
4127~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4128
4129``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4130ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4131command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4132
4133   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4134
4135If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4136or the following message::
4137
4138   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4139
4140Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4141error occurred::
4142
4143   Flow rule #[...] not found
4144
4145::
4146
4147   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4148
4149Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4150number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4151output has the following format::
4152
4153   count:
4154    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4155    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4156    hits: [...] # number of packets
4157    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4158
4159Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4160
4161   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4162      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4163   Flow rule #4 created
4164   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4165   count:
4166    hits_set: 1
4167    bytes_set: 0
4168    hits: 386446
4169    bytes: 0
4170   testpmd>
4171
4172Listing flow rules
4173~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4174
4175``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4176filtered by group identifiers::
4177
4178   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4179
4180This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4181exist::
4182
4183   Invalid port [...]
4184
4185Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4186flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4187configured on the device::
4188
4189   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4190   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4191
4192``Attr`` column flags:
4193
4194- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4195- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4196
4197Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4198
4199   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4200      actions queue index 6 / end
4201   Flow rule #0 created
4202   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4203      actions queue index 2 / end
4204   Flow rule #1 created
4205   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4206      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4207   Flow rule #2 created
4208   testpmd> flow list 0
4209   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4210   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4211   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4212   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4213   testpmd>
4214
4215Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4216
4217   testpmd> flow list 1
4218   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4219   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4220   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4221   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4222   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4223   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4224   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4225   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4226   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4227   testpmd>
4228
4229Output can be limited to specific groups::
4230
4231   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4232   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4233   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4234   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4235   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4236   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4237   testpmd>
4238
4239Toggling isolated mode
4240~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4241
4242``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4243must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4244is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4245resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4246
4247 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4248
4249If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4250
4251 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4252    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4253
4254Or::
4255
4256 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4257    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4258
4259Otherwise, in case of error::
4260
4261   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4262
4263Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4264ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4265first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4266
4267Enabling isolated mode::
4268
4269 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4270 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4271 testpmd>
4272
4273Disabling isolated mode::
4274
4275 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4276 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4277 testpmd>
4278
4279Dumping HW internal information
4280~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4281
4282``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4283all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4284
4285   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4286
4287If successful, it will show::
4288
4289   Flow dump finished
4290
4291Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4292
4293   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4294
4295Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4296~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4297
4298``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4299and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4300
4301   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4302
4303Listing current aged flow rules::
4304
4305   testpmd> flow aged 0
4306   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4307   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4308      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4309   Flow rule #0 created
4310   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4311      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4312   Flow rule #1 created
4313   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4314      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4315   Flow rule #2 created
4316   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4317      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4318   Flow rule #3 created
4319
4320
4321Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4322information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4323those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next

4352Creating indirect actions
4353~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4354
4355``flow indirect_action {port_id} create`` creates indirect action with optional
4356indirect action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_create()``::
4357
4358   flow indirect_action {port_id} create [action_id {indirect_action_id}]
4359      [ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
4360
4361If successful, it will show::
4362
4363   Indirect action #[...] created
4364
4365Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action already exists or that
4366some error occurred::
4367
4368   Indirect action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4369
4370::
4371
4372   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4373
4374Create indirect rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4375
4376   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id 100 \
4377      ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
4378
4379Create indirect rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
4380port 0::
4381
4382	testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id \
4383		ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4384
4385Updating indirect actions
4386~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4387
4388``flow indirect_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the indirect
4389action from its indirect action ID (as returned by
4390``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4391``rte_flow_action_handle_update()``::
4392
4393   flow indirect_action {port_id} update {indirect_action_id}
4394      action {action} / end
4395
4396If successful, it will show::
4397
4398   Indirect action #[...] updated
4399
4400Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4401error occurred::
4402
4403   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4404
4405::
4406
4407   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4408
4409Update indirect rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4410(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4411
4412   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4413
4414Destroying indirect actions
4415~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4416
4417``flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy`` destroys one or more indirect actions
4418from their indirect action IDs (as returned by
4419``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4420``rte_flow_action_handle_destroy()``::
4421
4422   flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy action_id {indirect_action_id} [...]
4423
4424If successful, it will show::
4425
4426   Indirect action #[...] destroyed
4427
4428It does not report anything for indirect action IDs that do not exist.
4429The usual error message is shown when a indirect action cannot be destroyed::
4430
4431   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4432
4433Destroy indirect actions having id 100 & 101::
4434
4435   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4436
4437Query indirect actions
4438~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4439
4440``flow indirect_action {port_id} query`` queries the indirect action from its
4441indirect action ID (as returned by ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``).
4442It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_query()``::
4443
4444  flow indirect_action {port_id} query {indirect_action_id}
4445
4446Currently only rss indirect action supported. If successful, it will show::
4447
4448   Indirect RSS action:
4449      refs:[...]
4450
4451Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4452error occurred::
4453
4454   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4455
4456::
4457
4458   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4459
4460Query indirect action having id 100::
4461
4462   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 query 100
4463
4464Sample QinQ flow rules
4465~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4466
4467Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4468
4469   testpmd> port stop 0
4470   testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4471
4472The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4473
4474To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4475
4476   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4477   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4478   testpmd> port start 0
4479
4480Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4481
4482::
4483
4484   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4485       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4486   Flow rule #0 validated

4494   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
4495
4496Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
4497
4498::
4499
4500   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4501        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end

4512
4513Sample VXLAN flow rules
4514~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4515
4516Before creating VXLAN rule(s), the UDP port should be added for VXLAN packet
4517filter on a port::
4518
4519  testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0
4520
4521Create VXLAN rules on port 0 to steer traffic to PF queues.

4930BPF Functions
4931--------------
4932
4933The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
4934
4935bpf-load
4936~~~~~~~~
4937
4938Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
4939
4940   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
4941
4942The available load-flags are:
4943
4944* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
4945
4946* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
4947
4948* ``-``: none.
4949
4950.. note::
4951
4952   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
4953
4954For example:
4955
4956.. code-block:: console
4957
4958   cd examples/bpf
4959   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
4960
4961Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
4962
4963.. code-block:: console
4964
4965   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
4966
4967To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
4968
4969.. code-block:: console
4970
4971   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
4972
4973bpf-unload
4974~~~~~~~~~~
4975
4976Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
4977
4978   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
4979
4980For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
4981
4982.. code-block:: console
4983
4984   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
4985
