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       Help is available for the following sections:
53
54           help control                    : Start and stop forwarding.
55           help display                    : Displaying port, stats and config information.

64Command File Functions
65----------------------
66
67To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
68practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
69
70* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
71  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
72  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
73
74.. code-block:: console
75
76   ./dpdk-testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

95
96
97* At run-time additional commands can be loaded in bulk by invoking the ``load FILENAME``
98  command.
99
100.. code-block:: console
101
102   testpmd> load /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

109   Read all CLI commands from /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
110   testpmd>
111
112
113In all cases output from any included command will be displayed as standard output.
114Execution will continue until the end of the file is reached regardless of
115whether any errors occur.  The end user must examine the output to determine if
116any failures occurred.

311   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
312   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
313   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
314
315set fwd
316~~~~~~~
317

319
320   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
321                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap|shared-rxq|recycle_mbufs) (""|retry)
322
323``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
324
325The available information categories are:
326
327* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
328  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
329  This is the default mode.
330
331* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
332  Default application behavior is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
333  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
334  'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
335
336* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
337  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
338
339* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
340  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
341
342* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
343
344* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
345
346* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
347
348* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
349
350* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX.
351
352* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
353  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
354  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
355
356* ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
357
358  L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
359
360  L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
361
362  L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
363
364* ``shared-rxq``: Receive only for shared Rx queue.
365  Resolve packet source port from mbuf and update stream statistics accordingly.
366
367* ``recycle_mbufs``:  Recycle Tx queue used mbufs for Rx queue mbuf ring.
368  This mode uses fast path mbuf recycle feature and forwards packets in I/O mode.
369
370Example::
371
372   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
373
374   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
375
376
377show fwd
378~~~~~~~~
379
380When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.
381Example for the io forwarding engine, with some packet drops on the tx side::
382
383   testpmd> show fwd stats all
384

651Configuration Functions
652-----------------------
653
654The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
655
656This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
657
658.. note::
659
660   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
661
662set default
663~~~~~~~~~~~
664
665Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
666
667   testpmd> set default
668
669set verbose
670~~~~~~~~~~~
671
672Set the debug verbosity level::
673
674   testpmd> set verbose (level)
675
676Available levels are as following:
677
678* ``0`` silent except for error.
679* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
680* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
681* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
682
683set log
684~~~~~~~
685
686Set the log level for a log type::
687
688	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
689
690Where:
691
692* ``type`` is the log name.
693
694* ``level`` is the log level.
695
696For example, to change the global log level::
697
698	testpmd> set log global (level)
699
700Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
701
702	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
703
704set nbport
705~~~~~~~~~~
706
707Set the number of ports used by the application:
708
709set nbport (num)
710
711This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
712
713set nbcore
714~~~~~~~~~~
715
716Set the number of cores used by the application::
717
718   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
719
720This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
721
722.. note::
723
724   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
725
726set coremask
727~~~~~~~~~~~~
728
729Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
730
731   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
732
733This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
734
735.. note::
736
737   The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
738
739set portmask
740~~~~~~~~~~~~
741
742Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
743
744   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
745
746This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
747
748set record-core-cycles
749~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
750
751Set the recording of CPU cycles::
752
753   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
754
755Where:
756
757* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
758
759* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
760
761This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
762
763set record-burst-stats
764~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
765
766Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
767
768   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
769
770Where:
771
772* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
773
774* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
775
776This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
777
778set burst
779~~~~~~~~~
780
781Set number of packets per burst::
782
783   testpmd> set burst (num)
784
785This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
786
787When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
788
789   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
790
791set rxoffs
792~~~~~~~~~~
793
794Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
795if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
796offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
797
798   testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
799
800Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
801of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
802for the remaining segments.
803
804set rxpkts
805~~~~~~~~~~
806
807Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
808feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
809(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
810pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
811to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
812mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
813from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
814mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
815
816   testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
817
818Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
819means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
820
821set rxhdrs
822~~~~~~~~~~
823
824Set the protocol headers of segments to scatter packets on receiving
825if split feature is engaged.
826Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
827(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
828
829   testpmd> set rxhdrs (eth[,ipv4]*)
830
831Where eth[,ipv4]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
832If the list of offsets is shorter than the list of segments,
833zero offsets will be used for the remaining segments.
834
835set txpkts
836~~~~~~~~~~
837
838Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
839
840   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
841
842Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
843
844set txtimes
845~~~~~~~~~~~
846
847Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
848the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
849timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
850application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
851to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
852and between the packets within the burst::
853
854   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
855
856where:
857
858* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
859  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
860  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
861  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
862  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
863  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
864  on timestamps is disabled (default).
865
866* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
867  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
868  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
869  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
870
871As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
872delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
873the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
874and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
875and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
876rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
877
878set txsplit
879~~~~~~~~~~~
880
881Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
882
883   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
884
885Where:
886
887* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
888
889* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
890  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
891  (see above).
892
893* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
894
895set corelist
896~~~~~~~~~~~~
897
898Set the list of forwarding cores::
899
900   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
901
902For example, to change the forwarding cores:
903
904.. code-block:: console
905
906   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
907   testpmd> show config fwd
908
909   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
910   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
911   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
912   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
913   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
914
915.. note::

929
930   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
931   testpmd> show config fwd
932
933   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
934   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
935   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
936   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
937   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03
938   RX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:02

1086   testpmd> tx_vlan set pvid (port_id) (vlan_id) (on|off)
1087
1088tx_vlan reset
1089~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1090
1091Disable hardware insertion of a VLAN header in packets sent on a port::
1092
1093   testpmd> tx_vlan reset (port_id)
1094
1095csum set
1096~~~~~~~~
1097
1098Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
1099transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1100
1101   testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip|outer-udp) (hw|sw) (port_id)
1102
1103Where:
1104
1105* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
1106
1107* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
1108  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gre, gtp, ipip, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1109  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1110
1111* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
1112  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gtp, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1113  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1114
1115.. note::
1116
1117   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
1118
1119csum parse-tunnel
1120~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1121
1122Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1123engine::
1124
1125   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1126
1127If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1128tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1129
1130If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1131header is handled as a packet payload).
1132
1133.. note::
1134
1135   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1136
1137Example:
1138
1139Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1140
1141   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1142
1143* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1144  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1145  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1146
1147* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1148   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1189set port - gro
1190~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1191
1192Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1193
1194   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1195
1196If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1197packets received from the given port.
1198
1199If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1200GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1201
1202.. note::
1203
1204   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1205   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1206   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1207   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1208   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1209   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1210   transmitted to.
1211
1212show port - gro
1213~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1214
1215Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1216
1217   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1218
1219set gro flush
1220~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1221
1222Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1223
1224   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1225
1226When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1227packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1228can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1229from the reassembly tables.
1230
1231The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1232engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1233operations.
1234
1235By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1236from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1237of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1238
1239Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1240stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1241stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1242
1243set port - gso
1244~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1245
1246Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1247
1248   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1249
1250If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1251packets, transmitted on the given port.
1252
1253If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1254By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1255
1256.. note::
1257
1258   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1259   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1260   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1261   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1262   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1263   GSO-enabled ports.
1264
1265   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1266   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1267
1268   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1269
1270   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1271
1272   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1273
1274   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1275   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1276   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1277   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1278   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1279   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1280
1281set gso segsz
1282~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1283
1284Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the

1661 ip-dst (ip-dst) eth-src (eth-src) eth-dst (eth-dst)
1662
1663These commands will set an internal configuration inside testpmd, any following
1664flow rule using the action vxlan_encap will use the last configuration set.
1665To have a different encapsulation header, one of those commands must be called
1666before the flow rule creation.

1769Config Raw Encapsulation
1770~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1771
1772Configure the raw data to be used when encapsulating a packet by
1773rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1774
1775 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1776
1777There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1778internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1779If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1780
1781 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1782
1783the default index ``0`` is used.
1784In order to use different encapsulating header, ``index`` must be specified
1785during the flow rule creation::
1786
1787 testpmd> flow create 0 egress pattern eth / ipv4 / end actions
1788        raw_encap index 2 / end

1841Port Functions
1842--------------
1843
1844The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1845
1846.. note::
1847
1848   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1849
1850.. _port_attach:
1851
1852port attach
1853~~~~~~~~~~~
1854
1855Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1856
1857   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1858
1859To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1860Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1861Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1862
1863For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1864
1865.. code-block:: console
1866
1867   # Check the status of the available devices.
1868   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1869
1870   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1871   ============================================
1872   <none>
1873
1874   Network devices using kernel driver
1875   ===================================
1876   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1877
1878
1879   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1880   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1881
1882
1883   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1884   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1885   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1886   ============================================
1887   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1888
1889To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1890
1891For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1892
1893.. code-block:: console
1894
1895   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1896   Attaching a new port...
1897   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1898   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1899   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1900   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1901   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1902   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1903   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1904   Done
1905
1906For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1907
1908.. code-block:: console
1909
1910   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1911   Attaching a new port...
1912   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1913   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1914   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1915   Done
1916
1917In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1918This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1919
1920For example, to re-attach a bonding port which has been previously detached,
1921the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1922
1923.. code-block:: console
1924
1925   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1926   Attaching a new port...
1927   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1928   EAL: Create bonding device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1929   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1930   Done
1931
1932
1933port detach
1934~~~~~~~~~~~
1935
1936Detach a specific port::
1937
1938   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1939
1940Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1941
1942For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1943
1944.. code-block:: console
1945
1946   testpmd> port stop 0
1947   Stopping ports...
1948   Done
1949   testpmd> port close 0
1950   Closing ports...
1951   Done
1952
1953   testpmd> port detach 0
1954   Detaching a port...
1955   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1956   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1957   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1958   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1959   Done
1960
1961
1962For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1963
1964.. code-block:: console
1965
1966   testpmd> port stop 0
1967   Stopping ports...
1968   Done
1969   testpmd> port close 0
1970   Closing ports...
1971   Done
1972
1973   testpmd> port detach 0
1974   Detaching a port...
1975   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1976   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1977   Done
1978
1979To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1980Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1981Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1982
1983For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1984
1985.. code-block:: console
1986
1987   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1988
1989   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

2290device detach
2291~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2292
2293Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2294
2295   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2296
2297Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2298
2299For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2300
2301.. code-block:: console
2302
2303    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2304    Removing a device...
2305    Port 1 is now closed
2306    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2307    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2308    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2309    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2310    Now total ports is 1
2311
2312For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2313
2314.. code-block:: console
2315
2316    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2317    Removing a device...
2318    Port 0 is now closed
2319    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2320    Now total ports is 0
2321    Done
2322
2323In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2324This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.

2894Congestion Management
2895---------------------
2896
2897Get capabilities
2898~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2899
2900Retrieve congestion management capabilities supported by driver for given port.
2901Below example command retrieves capabilities for port 0::

2922
2923Filter Functions
2924----------------
2925
2926This section details the available filter functions that are available.
2927
2928Note these functions interface the deprecated legacy filtering framework,
2929superseded by *rte_flow*. See `Flow rules management`_.
2930
2931.. _testpmd_rte_flow:
2932
2933Flow rules management
2934---------------------
2935
2936Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
2937``flow`` command (configuration, validation, creation, destruction, queries
2938and operation modes).
2939
2940Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
2941features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
2942not recommended.
2943
2944``flow`` syntax
2945~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2946
2947Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
2948of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
2949other commands, in particular:
2950
2951- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
2952  token, not that of the entire command.
2953
2954- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
2955  in the contextual help).
2956
2957The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
2958their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
2959following sections.

3250
3251   flow template_table {port_id} destroy table {id} [...]
3252
3253If successful, it will show::
3254
3255   Template table #[...] destroyed
3256
3257It does not report anything for table IDs that do not exist.
3258The usual error message is shown when a table cannot be destroyed::
3259
3260   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3261

3268
3269   flow push {port_id} queue {queue_id}
3270
3271If successful, it will show::
3272
3273   Queue #[...] operations pushed
3274
3275The usual error message is shown when operations cannot be pushed::

3283results and return all the processed (successfully or not) operations.
3284It is bound to ``rte_flow_pull()``::
3285
3286   flow pull {port_id} queue {queue_id}
3287
3288If successful, it will show::
3289
3290   Queue #[...] pulled #[...] operations (#[...] failed, #[...] succeeded)
3291
3292The usual error message is shown when operations results cannot be pulled::
3293
3294   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3295
3296Calculating hash
3297~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3298
3299``flow hash`` calculates the hash for a given pattern.
3300It is bound to ``rte_flow_calc_table_hash()``::
3301

3304       actions_template {actions_template_index}
3305       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3306
3307If successful, it will show the calculated hash result as seen below::
3308
3309   Hash results 0x[...]
3310
3311Otherwise, it will show an error message of the form::
3312
3313   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3314
3315This command uses the same pattern items as ``flow create``,
3316their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3317
3318Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3319~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3320
3321``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3322
3323   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3324
3325If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3326

3345Validating flow rules
3346~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3347
3348``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3349underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3350bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3351
3352   flow validate {port_id}
3353      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3354      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3355      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3356
3357If successful, it will show::
3358
3359   Flow rule validated
3360
3361Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3362
3363   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3364
3365This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3366described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3367
3368Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3369index 6 is supported::
3370
3371   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3372      actions queue index 6 / end
3373   Flow rule validated
3374   testpmd>
3375
3376Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3377
3378   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3379      actions drop / end
3380   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3381   testpmd>
3382
3383Creating flow rules
3384~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3385
3386``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3387to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3388
3389   flow create {port_id}
3390      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3391      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3392      [user_id {user_id}] pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3393      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3394
3395If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3396
3397   Flow rule #[...] created
3398
3399Or if ``user_id`` is provided::
3400
3401   Flow rule #[...] created, user-id [...]
3402
3403Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3404
3405   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3406
3407Parameters describe in the following order:
3408
3409- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3410- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3411- User identifier for the flow.
3412- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3413  *end* pattern item.
3414- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3415  action.
3416
3417These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3418underlying functions.
3419
3420The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3421
3422   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3423
3424Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3425one.
3426
3427**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3428
3429Enqueueing creation of flow rules
3430~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3431
3432``flow queue create`` adds creation operation of a flow rule to a queue.
3433It is bound to ``rte_flow_async_create()``::
3434
3435   flow queue {port_id} create {queue_id}
3436       [postpone {boolean}] template_table {table_id}
3437       pattern_template {pattern_template_index}
3438       actions_template {actions_template_index}
3439       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3440       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3441
3442If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3443
3444   Flow rule #[...] creaion enqueued
3445
3446Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3447
3448   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3449
3450This command uses the same pattern items and actions as ``flow create``,
3451their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3452
3453``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
3454
3455Attributes
3456^^^^^^^^^^
3457
3458These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3459specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3460
3461- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3462- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3463- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3464- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3465- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3466
3467Please note that use of ``transfer`` attribute requires that the flow and
3468its indirect components be managed via so-called ``transfer`` proxy port.
3469See `show flow transfer proxy port ID for the given port`_ for details.
3470
3471Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3472value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3473
3474   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3475
3476Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3477
3478While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3479simultaneously.
3480
3481Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3482
3483   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3484
3485Tunnel offload
3486^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3487
3488Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3489
3490- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3491- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunnel offload match type.
3492
3493Matching pattern
3494^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3495
3496A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3497items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3498
3499Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3500rte_flow_item_type``).
3501
3502The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3503below::
3504
3505   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3506
3507Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3508layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3509unlikely to match any packet::
3510
3511   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3512
3513More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3514documentation.
3515
3516Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3517``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3518
3519   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3520      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3521
3522This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3523
3524In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3525``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3526in a similar fashion.
3527
3528The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3529and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3530accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3531
3532- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3533- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3534- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3535- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3536- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3537
3538These yield identical results::
3539
3540   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3541
3542::
3543
3544   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3545
3546::
3547
3548   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3549
3550::
3551
3552   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3553
3554::
3555
3556   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3557
3558Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3559
3560   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3561
3562Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3563
3564   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3565      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3566
3567Properties can be modified multiple times::
3568
3569   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3570
3571::
3572
3573   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3574

3866Actions list
3867^^^^^^^^^^^^
3868
3869A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3870`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3871terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3872
3873Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3874rte_flow_action_type``).
3875
3876Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3877
3878   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3879      actions drop / end
3880
3881Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3882there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3883queue index.
3884
3885This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3886
3887   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3888      actions queue index 6 / end
3889
3890While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3891
3892   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3893      actions queue / end
3894
3895As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3896rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3897
3898   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3899
3900::
3901
3902   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3903
3904All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3905action of a given type is taken into account::
3906
3907   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3908
3909::
3910
3911   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3912
3913::
3914
3915   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3916
3917Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3918actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3919
3920   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3921
3922::
3923
3924   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3925
3926::
3927
3928   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3929
3930Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4179Destroying flow rules
4180~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4181
4182``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4183by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4184times as necessary::
4185
4186   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...] [user_id]
4187
4188If successful, it will show::
4189
4190   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4191
4192Or if ``user_id`` flag is provided::
4193
4194   Flow rule #[...] destroyed, user-id [...]
4195
4196Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4197is the one provided by the user at creation.
4198It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4199message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4200
4201   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4202
4203``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4204arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4205
4206   flow flush {port_id}
4207
4208Any errors are reported as above.
4209
4210Creating several rules and destroying them::
4211
4212   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4213      actions queue index 2 / end
4214   Flow rule #0 created
4215   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4216      actions queue index 3 / end
4217   Flow rule #1 created
4218   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4219   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4220   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4221   testpmd>
4222
4223The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4224
4225   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4226      actions queue index 2 / end
4227   Flow rule #0 created
4228   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4229      actions queue index 3 / end
4230   Flow rule #1 created
4231   testpmd> flow flush 0
4232   testpmd>
4233
4234Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4235
4236   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4237      actions queue index 2 / end
4238   Flow rule #0 created
4239   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4240      actions queue index 3 / end
4241   Flow rule #1 created
4242   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4243   testpmd>
4244   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4245   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4246   testpmd>
4247
4248Enqueueing destruction of flow rules
4249~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4250
4251``flow queue destroy`` adds destruction operations to destroy one or more rules
4252from their rule ID (as returned by ``flow queue create``) to a queue,
4253this command calls ``rte_flow_async_destroy()`` as many times as necessary::
4254
4255   flow queue {port_id} destroy {queue_id}
4256        [postpone {boolean}] rule {rule_id} [...]
4257
4258If successful, it will show::
4259
4260   Flow rule #[...] destruction enqueued
4261
4262It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4263message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4264
4265   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4266
4267``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
4268
4269Querying flow rules
4270~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4271
4272``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4273ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4274command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4275
4276   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action} [user_id]
4277
4278Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4279is the one provided by the user at creation.
4280If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4281or the following message::
4282
4283   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4284
4285Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4286error occurred::
4287
4288   Flow rule #[...] not found
4289
4290::
4291
4292   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4293
4294Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4295number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4296output has the following format::
4297
4298   count:
4299    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4300    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4301    hits: [...] # number of packets
4302    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4303
4304Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4305

4317Listing flow rules
4318~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4319
4320``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4321filtered by group identifiers::
4322
4323   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4324
4325This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4326exist::
4327
4328   Invalid port [...]
4329
4330Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4331flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4332configured on the device::
4333
4334   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4335   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4336
4337``Attr`` column flags:
4338
4339- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4340- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4341
4342Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4343
4344   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4345      actions queue index 6 / end
4346   Flow rule #0 created
4347   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4348      actions queue index 2 / end
4349   Flow rule #1 created
4350   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4351      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4352   Flow rule #2 created
4353   testpmd> flow list 0
4354   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4355   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4356   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4357   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4358   testpmd>
4359
4360Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4361
4362   testpmd> flow list 1
4363   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4364   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4365   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4366   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4367   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4368   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4369   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4370   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4371   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4372   testpmd>
4373
4374Output can be limited to specific groups::
4375
4376   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4377   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4378   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4379   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4380   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4381   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4382   testpmd>
4383
4384Toggling isolated mode
4385~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4386
4387``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4388must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4389is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4390resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4391
4392 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4393
4394If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4395
4396 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4397    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4398
4399Or::
4400
4401 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4402    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4403
4404Otherwise, in case of error::
4405
4406   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4407
4408Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4409ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4410first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4411
4412Enabling isolated mode::
4413
4414 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4415 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4416 testpmd>
4417
4418Disabling isolated mode::
4419
4420 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4421 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4422 testpmd>
4423
4424Dumping HW internal information
4425~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4426
4427``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4428all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4429
4430   flow dump {port_id} {output_file} [user_id]
4431
4432If successful, it will show::
4433
4434   Flow dump finished
4435
4436Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4437
4438   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4439
4440Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4441is the one provided by the user at creation.
4442
4443Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4444~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4445
4446``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4447and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD::
4448
4449   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4450
4451Listing current aged flow rules::
4452
4453   testpmd> flow aged 0
4454   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4455   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4456      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4457   Flow rule #0 created
4458   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4459      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4460   Flow rule #1 created
4461   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4462      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4463   Flow rule #2 created
4464   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4465      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4466   Flow rule #3 created
4467
4468
4469Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4470information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4471those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4472will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4473
4474   testpmd> flow aged 0
4475   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4476   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4477   2       0       0       i--

4480   0       0       0       i--
4481
4482If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules::
4483
4484   testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
4485   Port 0 total aged flows: 4

4488   3       0       0       i--
4489   1       0       0       i--
4490   0       0       0       i--
4491
4492   Flow rule #2 destroyed
4493   Flow rule #3 destroyed
4494   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4495   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4496   4 flows be destroyed
4497   testpmd> flow aged 0
4498   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4499
4500
4501Enqueueing listing and destroying aged flow rules
4502~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4503
4504``flow queue aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from
4505``rte_flow_get_q_aged_flows`` API, and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to
4506destroy those flow rules in PMD::
4507
4508   flow queue {port_id} aged {queue_id} [destroy]
4509
4510Listing current aged flow rules::
4511
4512   testpmd> flow queue 0 aged 0
4513   Port 0 queue 0 total aged flows: 0
4514   testpmd> flow queue 0 create 0 ingress tanle 0 item_template 0 action_template 0
4515      pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end

4529   Flow rule #3 creation enqueued
4530   testpmd> flow pull 0 queue 0
4531   Queue #0 pulled 4 operations (0 failed, 4 succeeded)
4532
4533Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow queue {port_id} list {queue_id}``,
4534but strip the detail rule information, all the aged flows are sorted by the
4535longest timeout time. For example, if those rules is configured in the same time,

4767Sample QinQ flow rules
4768~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4769
4770Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4771
4772   testpmd> port stop 0
4773   testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4774
4775The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4776
4777To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4778
4779   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4780   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4781   testpmd> port start 0
4782
4783Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4784
4785::

5175Sample Sampling/Mirroring rules
5176~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5177
5178Sample/Mirroring rules can be set by the following commands
5179
5180NIC-RX Sampling rule, the matched ingress packets and sent to the queue 1,
5181and 50% packets are duplicated and marked with 0x1234 and sent to queue 0.
5182
5183::
5184
5185 testpmd> set sample_actions 0 mark id  0x1234 / queue index 0 / end
5186 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress group 1 pattern eth / end actions
5187        sample ratio 2 index 0 / queue index 1 / end
5188
5189Match packets coming from a VM which is referred to by means of
5190its representor ethdev (port 1), mirror 50% of them to the
5191said representor (for bookkeeping) as well as encapsulate
5192all the packets and steer them to the physical port:
5193
5194::
5195
5196   testpmd> set sample_actions 0 port_representor ethdev_port_id 1 / end
5197
5198   testpmd> set vxlan ip-version ipv4 vni 4 udp-src 32 udp-dst 4789 ip-src 127.0.0.1
5199      ip-dst 127.0.0.2 eth-src 11:11:11:11:11:11 eth-dst 22:22:22:22:22:22
5200
5201   testpmd> flow create 0 transfer pattern represented_port ethdev_port_id is 1 / end
5202      actions sample ratio 2 index 0 / vxlan_encap /
5203      represented_port ethdev_port_id 0 / end
5204
5205The rule is inserted via port 0 (assumed to have "transfer" privilege).
5206
5207Sample integrity rules
5208~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5209
5210Integrity rules can be created by the following commands:
5211
5212Integrity rule that forwards valid TCP packets to group 1.
5213TCP packet integrity is matched with the ``l4_ok`` bit 3.
5214
5215::
5216
5217 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress
5218            pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / integrity value mask 8 value spec 8 / end
5219            actions jump group 1 / end
5220
5221Integrity rule that forwards invalid packets to application.
5222General packet integrity is matched with the ``packet_ok`` bit 0.
5223
5224::
5225
5226 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern integrity value mask 1 value spec 0 / end actions queue index 0 / end
5227
5228Sample conntrack rules
5229~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5230
5231Conntrack rules can be set by the following commands
5232
5233Need to construct the connection context with provided information.
5234In the first table, create a flow rule by using conntrack action and jump to
5235the next table. In the next table, create a rule to check the state.
5236
5237::
5238
5239 testpmd> set conntrack com peer 1 is_orig 1 enable 1 live 1 sack 1 cack 0
5240        last_dir 0 liberal 0 state 1 max_ack_win 7 r_lim 5 last_win 510
5241        last_seq 2632987379 last_ack 2532480967 last_end 2632987379
5242        last_index 0x8
5243 testpmd> set conntrack orig scale 7 fin 0 acked 1 unack_data 0
5244        sent_end 2632987379 reply_end 2633016339 max_win 28960
5245        max_ack 2632987379
5246 testpmd> set conntrack rply scale 7 fin 0 acked 1 unack_data 0
5247        sent_end 2532480967 reply_end 2532546247 max_win 65280
5248        max_ack 2532480967
5249 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create ingress action conntrack / end
5250 testpmd> flow create 0 group 3 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / end actions indirect 0 / jump group 5 / end
5251 testpmd> flow create 0 group 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / conntrack is 1 / end actions queue index 5 / end
5252
5253Construct the conntrack again with only "is_orig" set to 0 (other fields are
5254ignored), then use "update" interface to update the direction. Create flow
5255rules like above for the peer port.
5256
5257::
5258
5259 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 0 action conntrack_update dir / end

5350BPF Functions
5351--------------
5352
5353The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5354
5355bpf-load
5356~~~~~~~~
5357
5358Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5359
5360   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5361
5362The available load-flags are:
5363
5364* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5365
5366* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5367
5368* ``-``: none.
5369
5370.. note::
5371
5372   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5373
5374For example:
5375
5376.. code-block:: console
5377
5378   cd examples/bpf
5379   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5380
5381Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5382
5383.. code-block:: console
5384
5385   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5386
5387To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5388
5389.. code-block:: console
5390
5391   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5392
5393bpf-unload
5394~~~~~~~~~~
5395
5396Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5397
5398   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5399
5400For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5401
5402.. code-block:: console
5403
5404   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5405
5406Flex Item Functions
5407-------------------
5408
5409The following sections show functions that configure and create flex item object,
5410create flex pattern and use it in a flow rule.
5411The commands will use 20 bytes IPv4 header for examples:
5412
5413::
5414
5415   0                   1                   2                   3

5430Create flex item
5431~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5432
5433Flex item object is created by PMD according to a new header configuration. The
5434header configuration is compiled by the testpmd and stored in
5435``rte_flow_item_flex_conf`` type variable.
5436
5437::
5438
5439   # flow flex_item create <port> <flex id> <configuration file>
5440   testpmd> flow flex_item init 0 3 ipv4_flex_config.json
5441   port-0: created flex item #3
5442
5443Flex item configuration is kept in external JSON file.
5444It describes the following header elements:
5445
5446**New header length.**
5447
5448Specify whether the new header has fixed or variable length and the basic/minimal
5449header length value.
5450
5451If header length is not fixed, header location with a value that completes header
5452length calculation and scale/offset function must be added.
5453
5454Scale function depends on port hardware.
5455
5456**Next protocol.**
5457
5458Describes location in the new header that specify following network header type.
5459
5460**Flow match samples.**
5461
5462Describes locations in the new header that will be used in flow rules.
5463
5464Number of flow samples and sample maximal length depend of port hardware.
5465
5466**Input trigger.**
5467
5468Describes preceding network header configuration.
5469
5470**Output trigger.**
5471
5472Describes conditions that trigger transfer to following network header
5473
5474.. code-block:: json

5496
5497Flex pattern and flow rules
5498~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5499
5500Flex pattern describe parts of network header that will trigger flex flow item hit in a flow rule.
5501Flex pattern directly related to flex item samples configuration.
5502Flex pattern can be shared between ports.
5503
5504**Flex pattern and flow rule to match IPv4 version and 20 bytes length**
5505
5506::
5507
5508   # set flex_pattern <pattern_id> is <hex bytes sequence>
5509   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 5 is 45FF
5510   created pattern #5
5511
5512   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / flex item is 3 pattern is 5 / end actions mark id 1 / queue index 0 / end
5513   Flow rule #0 created
5514
5515**Flex pattern and flow rule to match packets with source address 1.2.3.4**
5516
5517::
5518
5519   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 2 spec 45000000000000000000000001020304 mask FF0000000000000000000000FFFFFFFF
