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

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

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

262
263clear port
264~~~~~~~~~~
265
266Clear the port statistics for a given port or for all ports::
267
268   testpmd> clear port (info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap) (port_id|all)
269
270For example::
271
272   testpmd> clear port stats all
273
274show (rxq|txq)
275~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
276
277Display information for a given port's RX/TX queue::
278
279   testpmd> show (rxq|txq) info (port_id) (queue_id)
280
281show config
282~~~~~~~~~~~
283
284Displays the configuration of the application.
285The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
286
287   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|txpkts)
288
289The available information categories are:
290
291* ``rxtx``: RX/TX configuration items.
292
293* ``cores``: List of forwarding cores.
294
295* ``fwd``: Packet forwarding configuration.
296
297* ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
298
299For example:
300
301.. code-block:: console
302
303   testpmd> show config rxtx
304
305   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
306   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
307   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
308   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
309   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
310   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
311   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
312
313set fwd
314~~~~~~~
315
316Set the packet forwarding mode::
317
318   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
319                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho) (""|retry)
320
321``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
322
323The available information categories are:
324
325* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
326  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
327  This is the default mode.
328
329* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
330  Default application behaviour is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
331  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
332  'eth-peer-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
333
334* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
335  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
336
337* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
338  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
339
340* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
341
342* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
343
344* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
345
346* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
347
348* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
349
350Note: TX timestamping is only available in the "Full Featured" TX path. To force ``testpmd`` into this mode set ``--txqflags=0``.
351
352Example::
353
354   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
355
356   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
357
358
359read rxd
360~~~~~~~~
361
362Display an RX descriptor for a port RX queue::
363
364   testpmd> read rxd (port_id) (queue_id) (rxd_id)
365
366For example::
367
368   testpmd> read rxd 0 0 4
369        0x0000000B - 0x001D0180 / 0x0000000B - 0x001D0180

372~~~~~~~~
373
374Display a TX descriptor for a port TX queue::
375
376   testpmd> read txd (port_id) (queue_id) (txd_id)
377
378For example::
379
380   testpmd> read txd 0 0 4
381        0x00000001 - 0x24C3C440 / 0x000F0000 - 0x2330003C
382
383ddp get list
384~~~~~~~~~~~~
385
386Get loaded dynamic device personalization (DDP) package info list::
387
388   testpmd> ddp get list (port_id)
389
390ddp get info
391~~~~~~~~~~~~
392
393Display information about dynamic device personalization (DDP) profile::
394
395   testpmd> ddp get info (profile_patch)
396
397show vf stats
398~~~~~~~~~~~~~

411Configuration Functions
412-----------------------
413
414The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
415
416This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
417
418.. note::
419
420   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
421
422set default
423~~~~~~~~~~~
424
425Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
426
427   testpmd> set default
428
429set verbose
430~~~~~~~~~~~
431
432Set the debug verbosity level::
433
434   testpmd> set verbose (level)
435
436Currently the only available levels are 0 (silent except for error) and 1 (fully verbose).
437
438set nbport
439~~~~~~~~~~
440
441Set the number of ports used by the application:
442
443set nbport (num)
444
445This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
446
447set nbcore
448~~~~~~~~~~
449
450Set the number of cores used by the application::
451
452   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
453
454This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
455
456.. note::
457
458   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
459
460set coremask
461~~~~~~~~~~~~
462
463Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
464
465   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
466
467This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
468
469.. note::
470
471   The master lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
472
473set portmask
474~~~~~~~~~~~~
475
476Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
477
478   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
479
480This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
481
482set burst
483~~~~~~~~~
484
485Set number of packets per burst::
486
487   testpmd> set burst (num)
488
489This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
490
491When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
492
493   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
494
495set txpkts
496~~~~~~~~~~
497
498Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
499
500   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
501
502Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
503
504set txsplit
505~~~~~~~~~~~
506
507Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
508
509   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
510
511Where:
512
513* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
514
515* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
516  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
517  (see above).
518
519* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
520
521set corelist
522~~~~~~~~~~~~
523
524Set the list of forwarding cores::
525
526   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
527
528For example, to change the forwarding cores:
529
530.. code-block:: console
531
532   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
533   testpmd> show config fwd
534
535   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
536   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
537   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
538   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
539   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00

544
545set portlist
546~~~~~~~~~~~~
547
548Set the list of forwarding ports::
549
550   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)
551
552For example, to change the port forwarding:
553
554.. code-block:: console
555
556   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
557   testpmd> show config fwd

799
800   testpmd> tx_vlan set (port_id) vlan_id[, vlan_id_outer]
801
802For example, set a single VLAN ID (5) insertion on port 0::
803
804   tx_vlan set 0 5
805
806Or, set double VLAN ID (inner: 2, outer: 3) insertion on port 1::

822
823   testpmd> tx_vlan reset (port_id)
824
825csum set
826~~~~~~~~
827
828Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
829transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
830
831   testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip) (hw|sw) (port_id)
832
833Where:
834
835* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
836
837* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
838  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
839  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
840
841.. note::
842
843   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
844
845csum parse-tunnel
846~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
847
848Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
849engine::
850
851   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
852
853If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
854tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
855
856If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
857header is handled as a packet payload).
858
859.. note::
860
861   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
862
863Example:
864
865Consider a packet in packet like the following::
866
867   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
868
869* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
870  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
871  ``outer-ip parameter`` relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out``).
872
873* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
874   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.
875
876csum show
877~~~~~~~~~
878
879Display tx checksum offload configuration::
880
881   testpmd> csum show (port_id)
882
883tso set
884~~~~~~~
885
886Enable TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) in the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
887
888   testpmd> tso set (segsize) (port_id)
889
890.. note::
891
892   Check the NIC datasheet for hardware limits.
893
894tso show
895~~~~~~~~
896
897Display the status of TCP Segmentation Offload::
898
899   testpmd> tso show (port_id)
900
901gro
902~~~
903
904Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
905
906   testpmd> gro (on|off) (port_id)
907
908If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
909packets received from the given port.
910
911If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
912GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
913
914.. note::
915
916   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
917   will be performed GRO. After GRO, the merged packets are multi-segments.
918   But csum forwarding engine doesn't support to calculate TCP checksum
919   for multi-segment packets in SW. So please select TCP HW checksum
920   calculation for the port which GROed packets are transmitted to.
921
922gro set
923~~~~~~~
924
925Set max flow number and max packet number per-flow for GRO::
926
927   testpmd> gro set (max_flow_num) (max_item_num_per_flow) (port_id)
928
929The product of ``max_flow_num`` and ``max_item_num_per_flow`` is the max
930number of packets a GRO table can store.
931
932If current packet number is greater than or equal to the max value, GRO
933will stop processing incoming packets.

1313Port Functions
1314--------------
1315
1316The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1317
1318.. note::
1319
1320   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1321
1322port attach
1323~~~~~~~~~~~
1324
1325Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1326
1327   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1328
1329To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1330Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1331Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1332
1333For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1334
1335.. code-block:: console
1336
1337   # Check the status of the available devices.
1338   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1339
1340   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1341   ============================================
1342   <none>
1343
1344   Network devices using kernel driver
1345   ===================================
1346   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1347
1348
1349   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1350   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1351
1352
1353   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1354   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1355   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1356   ============================================
1357   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1358
1359To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1360
1361For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1362
1363.. code-block:: console
1364
1365   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1366   Attaching a new port...
1367   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1368   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1369   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1370   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1371   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1372   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1373   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1374   Done
1375
1376For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1377
1378.. code-block:: console
1379
1380   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1381   Attaching a new port...
1382   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1383   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1384   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1385   Done
1386
1387In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1388This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1389
1390For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1391the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1392
1393.. code-block:: console
1394
1395   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1396   Attaching a new port...
1397   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1398   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1399   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1400   Done
1401
1402
1403port detach
1404~~~~~~~~~~~
1405
1406Detach a specific port::
1407
1408   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1409
1410Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1411
1412For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1413
1414.. code-block:: console
1415
1416   testpmd> port stop 0
1417   Stopping ports...
1418   Done
1419   testpmd> port close 0
1420   Closing ports...
1421   Done
1422
1423   testpmd> port detach 0
1424   Detaching a port...
1425   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1426   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1427   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1428   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1429   Done
1430
1431
1432For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1433
1434.. code-block:: console
1435
1436   testpmd> port stop 0
1437   Stopping ports...
1438   Done
1439   testpmd> port close 0
1440   Closing ports...
1441   Done
1442
1443   testpmd> port detach 0
1444   Detaching a port...
1445   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1446   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1447   Done
1448
1449To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1450Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1451Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1452
1453For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1454
1455.. code-block:: console
1456
1457   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1458
1459   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

1762   testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10
1763
1764set bonding mac
1765~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1766
1767Set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device::
1768
1769   testpmd> set bonding mac (port id) (mac)
1770
1771For example, to set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to 00:00:00:00:00:01::
1772
1773   testpmd> set bonding mac 10 00:00:00:00:00:01
1774
1775set bonding xmit_balance_policy
1776~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1777
1778Set the transmission policy for a Link Bonding device when it is in Balance XOR mode::
1779
1780   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)
1781
1782For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
1783

1791
1792This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
1793When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
1794link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
1795
1796   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
1797
1798For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::

1822
1823Show the current configuration of a Link Bonding device::
1824
1825   testpmd> show bonding config (port id)
1826
1827For example,
1828to show the configuration a Link Bonding device (port 9) with 3 slave devices (1, 3, 4)
1829in balance mode with a transmission policy of layer 2+3::
1830
1831   testpmd> show bonding config 9
1832        Bonding mode: 2
1833        Balance Xmit Policy: BALANCE_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER23
1834        Slaves (3): [1 3 4]
1835        Active Slaves (3): [1 3 4]
1836        Primary: [3]

1839Register Functions
1840------------------
1841
1842The Register Functions can be used to read from and write to registers on the network card referenced by a port number.
1843This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
1844Reference should be made to the appropriate datasheet for the network card for details on the register addresses
1845and fields that can be accessed.

2094.. _testpmd_flow_director:
2095
2096flow_director_filter
2097~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2098
2099The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
2100
2101Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
2102Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
2103
2104* Perfect match filters.
2105  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2106  The masked fields are for IP flow.
2107
2108* Signature filters.
2109  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
2110
2111* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
2112  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2113  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
2114
2115* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
2116  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2117  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
2118
2119The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
2120per flow type and the flexible payload.
2121
2122The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
2123are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
2124
2125Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

2340.. _testpmd_rte_flow:
2341
2342Flow rules management
2343---------------------
2344
2345Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
2346``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
2347modes).
2348
2349Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
2350features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
2351not recommended.
2352
2353``flow`` syntax
2354~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2355
2356Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
2357of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
2358other commands, in particular:
2359
2360- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
2361  token, not that of the entire command.
2362
2363- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
2364  in the contextual help).
2365
2366The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
2367their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
2368following sections.
2369
2370- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
2371
2372   flow validate {port_id}
2373       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2374       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2375       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2376
2377- Create a flow rule::
2378
2379   flow create {port_id}
2380       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2381       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2382       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2383
2384- Destroy specific flow rules::
2385
2386   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
2387
2388- Destroy all flow rules::
2389
2390   flow flush {port_id}
2391
2392- Query an existing flow rule::
2393
2394   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
2395
2396- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
2397  identifiers::
2398
2399   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
2400
2401- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
2402
2403   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
2404
2405Validating flow rules
2406~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2407
2408``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
2409underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
2410bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
2411
2412   flow validate {port_id}
2413      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2414      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2415      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2416
2417If successful, it will show::
2418
2419   Flow rule validated
2420
2421Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
2422
2423   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2424
2425This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
2426described in `Creating flow rules`_.
2427
2428Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
2429index 6 is supported::
2430
2431   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
2432      actions queue index 6 / end
2433   Flow rule validated
2434   testpmd>
2435
2436Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
2437
2438   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
2439      actions drop / end
2440   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
2441   testpmd>
2442
2443Creating flow rules
2444~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2445
2446``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
2447to ``rte_flow_create()``::
2448
2449   flow create {port_id}
2450      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2451      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2452      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2453
2454If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
2455
2456   Flow rule #[...] created
2457
2458Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
2459
2460   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2461
2462Parameters describe in the following order:
2463
2464- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress* tokens).
2465- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
2466  *end* pattern item.
2467- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
2468  action.
2469
2470These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
2471underlying functions.
2472
2473The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
2474
2475   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
2476
2477Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
2478one.
2479
2480**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
2481
2482Attributes
2483^^^^^^^^^^
2484
2485These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
2486specified before the ``pattern`` token.
2487
2488- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
2489- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
2490- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
2491- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
2492
2493Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
2494value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
2495
2496   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
2497
2498Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
2499
2500While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
2501simultaneously.
2502
2503Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
2504
2505   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
2506
2507Matching pattern
2508^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2509
2510A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
2511items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
2512
2513Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
2514rte_flow_item_type``).
2515
2516The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
2517below::
2518
2519   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
2520
2521Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
2522layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
2523unlikely to match any packet::
2524
2525   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
2526
2527More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
2528documentation.
2529
2530Several items support additional specification structures, for example
2531``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
2532
2533   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
2534      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
2535
2536This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
2537
2538In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
2539``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
2540in a similar fashion.
2541
2542The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
2543and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
2544accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
2545
2546- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
2547- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
2548- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
2549- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
2550- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask from a prefix length.
2551
2552These yield identical results::
2553
2554   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
2555
2556::
2557
2558   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
2559
2560::
2561
2562   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
2563
2564::
2565
2566   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
2567
2568::
2569
2570   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
2571
2572Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
2573
2574   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
2575
2576Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
2577
2578   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
2579      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
2580
2581Properties can be modified multiple times::
2582
2583   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
2584
2585::
2586
2587   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

2683- ``nvgre``: match NVGRE header.
2684
2685  - ``tni {unsigned}``: virtual subnet ID.
2686
2687- ``mpls``: match MPLS header.
2688
2689  - ``label {unsigned}``: MPLS label.
2690
2691- ``gre``: match GRE header.
2692
2693  - ``protocol {unsigned}``: protocol type.
2694
2695- ``fuzzy``: fuzzy pattern match, expect faster than default.
2696
2697  - ``thresh {unsigned}``: accuracy threshold.
2698
2699Actions list
2700^^^^^^^^^^^^
2701
2702A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
2703`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
2704terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
2705
2706Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
2707rte_flow_action_type``).
2708
2709Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
2710
2711   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2712      actions drop / end
2713
2714Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
2715there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
2716queue index.
2717
2718This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
2719
2720   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2721      actions queue index 6 / end
2722
2723While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
2724
2725   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2726      actions queue / end
2727
2728As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
2729rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
2730
2731   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
2732
2733::
2734
2735   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
2736
2737All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
2738action of a given type is taken into account::
2739
2740   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
2741
2742::
2743
2744   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
2745
2746::
2747
2748   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
2749
2750Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
2751actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
2752
2753   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
2754
2755::
2756
2757   drop / dup index 6 / end # same as above
2758
2759::
2760
2761   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
2762
2763::
2764
2765   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
2766
2767Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
2768
2769Actions
2770^^^^^^^
2771
2772This section lists supported actions and their attributes, if any.
2773
2774- ``end``: end list of actions.
2775
2776- ``void``: no-op action.
2777
2778- ``passthru``: let subsequent rule process matched packets.
2779
2780- ``mark``: attach 32 bit value to packets.
2781
2782  - ``id {unsigned}``: 32 bit value to return with packets.
2783
2784- ``flag``: flag packets.
2785
2786- ``queue``: assign packets to a given queue index.
2787
2788  - ``index {unsigned}``: queue index to use.
2789
2790- ``drop``: drop packets (note: passthru has priority).
2791
2792- ``count``: enable counters for this rule.
2793
2794- ``dup``: duplicate packets to a given queue index.
2795
2796  - ``index {unsigned}``: queue index to duplicate packets to.
2797
2798- ``rss``: spread packets among several queues.
2799
2800  - ``queues [{unsigned} [...]] end``: queue indices to use.
2801
2802- ``pf``: redirect packets to physical device function.
2803
2804- ``vf``: redirect packets to virtual device function.
2805
2806  - ``original {boolean}``: use original VF ID if possible.
2807  - ``id {unsigned}``: VF ID to redirect packets to.
2808
2809Destroying flow rules
2810~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2811
2812``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
2813by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
2814times as necessary::
2815
2816   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
2817
2818If successful, it will show::
2819
2820   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
2821
2822It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
2823message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
2824
2825   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2826
2827``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
2828arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
2829
2830   flow flush {port_id}
2831
2832Any errors are reported as above.
2833
2834Creating several rules and destroying them::
2835
2836   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2837      actions queue index 2 / end
2838   Flow rule #0 created
2839   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2840      actions queue index 3 / end
2841   Flow rule #1 created
2842   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
2843   Flow rule #1 destroyed
2844   Flow rule #0 destroyed
2845   testpmd>
2846
2847The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
2848
2849   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2850      actions queue index 2 / end
2851   Flow rule #0 created
2852   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2853      actions queue index 3 / end
2854   Flow rule #1 created
2855   testpmd> flow flush 0
2856   testpmd>
2857
2858Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
2859
2860   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2861      actions queue index 2 / end
2862   Flow rule #0 created
2863   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2864      actions queue index 3 / end
2865   Flow rule #1 created
2866   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
2867   testpmd>
2868   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
2869   Flow rule #0 destroyed
2870   testpmd>
2871
2872Querying flow rules
2873~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2874
2875``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
2876ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
2877command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
2878
2879   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
2880
2881If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
2882or the following message::
2883
2884   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
2885
2886Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
2887error occurred::
2888
2889   Flow rule #[...] not found
2890
2891::
2892
2893   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2894
2895Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
2896number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
2897output has the following format::
2898
2899   count:
2900    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
2901    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
2902    hits: [...] # number of packets
2903    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
2904
2905Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
2906
2907   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
2908      actions queue index 6 / count / end
2909   Flow rule #4 created
2910   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
2911   count:
2912    hits_set: 1
2913    bytes_set: 0
2914    hits: 386446
2915    bytes: 0
2916   testpmd>
2917
2918Listing flow rules
2919~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2920
2921``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
2922filtered by group identifiers::
2923
2924   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
2925
2926This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
2927exist::
2928
2929   Invalid port [...]
2930
2931Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
2932flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
2933configured on the device::
2934
2935   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2936   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
2937
2938``Attr`` column flags:
2939
2940- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
2941- ``e`` for ``egress``.
2942
2943Creating several flow rules and listing them::
2944
2945   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2946      actions queue index 6 / end
2947   Flow rule #0 created
2948   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2949      actions queue index 2 / end
2950   Flow rule #1 created
2951   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2952      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
2953   Flow rule #2 created
2954   testpmd> flow list 0
2955   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2956   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
2957   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
2958   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
2959   testpmd>
2960
2961Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
2962
2963   testpmd> flow list 1
2964   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2965   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
2966   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
2967   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
2968   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
2969   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
2970   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
2971   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
2972   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
2973   testpmd>
2974
2975Output can be limited to specific groups::
2976
2977   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
2978   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2979   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
2980   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
2981   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
2982   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
2983   testpmd>
2984
2985Toggling isolated mode
2986~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2987
2988``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
2989must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
2990is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
2991resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
2992
2993 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
2994
2995If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
2996
2997 Ingress traffic on port [...]
2998    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
2999
3000Or::
3001
3002 Ingress traffic on port [...]
3003    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
3004
3005Otherwise, in case of error::
3006
3007   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3008
3009Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
3010ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
3011first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
3012
3013Enabling isolated mode::
3014
3015 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
3016 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
3017 testpmd>
3018
3019Disabling isolated mode::
3020
3021 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
3022 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
3023 testpmd>
3024
3025Sample QinQ flow rules
3026~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3027
3028Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
3029
3030   testpmd> port stop 0
3031   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
3032
3033The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
3034
3035To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
3036
3037   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
3038   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
3039   testpmd> port start 0
3040
3041Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
3042
3043::
3044
3045   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
3046       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
3047   Flow rule #0 validated
3048
3049   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
3050       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 123 / queue index 0 / end
3051   Flow rule #0 created
3052
3053   testpmd> flow list 0
3054   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3055   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
3056
3057Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
3058
3059::
3060
3061   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
3062        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end
3063   Flow rule #1 validated
3064
3065   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
3066        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 1 / end
3067   Flow rule #1 created
3068
3069   testpmd> flow list 0
3070   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3071   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
3072   1       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>PF QUEUE
3073
