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

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

276
277show config
278~~~~~~~~~~~
279
280Displays the configuration of the application.
281The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
282

304
305   testpmd> show config rxtx
306
307   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
308   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
309   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
310   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
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
318Set the packet forwarding mode::
319
320   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
321                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap) (""|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
364Example::
365
366   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
367
368   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
369
370
371show fwd
372~~~~~~~~
373
374When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.

643Configuration Functions
644-----------------------
645
646The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
647
648This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
649
650.. note::
651
652   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
653
654set default
655~~~~~~~~~~~
656
657Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
658
659   testpmd> set default
660
661set verbose
662~~~~~~~~~~~
663
664Set the debug verbosity level::
665
666   testpmd> set verbose (level)
667
668Available levels are as following:
669
670* ``0`` silent except for error.
671* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
672* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
673* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
674
675set log
676~~~~~~~
677
678Set the log level for a log type::
679
680	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
681
682Where:
683
684* ``type`` is the log name.
685
686* ``level`` is the log level.
687
688For example, to change the global log level::
689
690	testpmd> set log global (level)
691
692Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
693
694	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
695
696set nbport
697~~~~~~~~~~
698
699Set the number of ports used by the application:
700
701set nbport (num)
702
703This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
704
705set nbcore
706~~~~~~~~~~
707
708Set the number of cores used by the application::
709
710   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
711
712This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
713
714.. note::
715
716   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
717
718set coremask
719~~~~~~~~~~~~
720
721Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
722
723   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
724
725This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
726
727.. note::
728
729   The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
730
731set portmask
732~~~~~~~~~~~~
733
734Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
735
736   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
737
738This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
739
740set record-core-cycles
741~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
742
743Set the recording of CPU cycles::
744
745   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
746
747Where:
748
749* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
750
751* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
752
753This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
754
755set record-burst-stats
756~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
757
758Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
759
760   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
761
762Where:
763
764* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
765
766* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
767
768This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
769
770set burst
771~~~~~~~~~
772
773Set number of packets per burst::
774
775   testpmd> set burst (num)
776
777This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
778
779When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
780
781   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
782
783set rxoffs
784~~~~~~~~~~
785
786Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
787if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
788offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
789
790   testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
791
792Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
793of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
794for the remaining segments.
795
796set rxpkts
797~~~~~~~~~~
798
799Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
800feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
801(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
802pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
803to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
804mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
805from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
806mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
807
808   testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
809
810Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
811means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
812
813set txpkts
814~~~~~~~~~~
815
816Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
817
818   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
819
820Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
821
822set txtimes
823~~~~~~~~~~~
824
825Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
826the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
827timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
828application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
829to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
830and between the packets within the burst::
831
832   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
833
834where:
835
836* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
837  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
838  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
839  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
840  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
841  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
842  on timestamps is disabled (default).
843
844* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
845  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
846  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
847  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
848
849As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
850delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
851the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
852and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
853and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
854rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
855
856set txsplit
857~~~~~~~~~~~
858
859Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
860
861   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
862
863Where:
864
865* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
866
867* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
868  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
869  (see above).
870
871* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
872
873set corelist
874~~~~~~~~~~~~
875
876Set the list of forwarding cores::
877
878   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
879
880For example, to change the forwarding cores:
881
882.. code-block:: console
883
884   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
885   testpmd> show config fwd
886
887   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
888   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
889   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
890   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
891   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
892

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

1202If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1203tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1204
1205If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1206header is handled as a packet payload).
1207
1208.. note::
1209
1210   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1211
1212Example:
1213
1214Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1215
1216   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1217
1218* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1219  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1220  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1221
1222* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1223   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1264set port - gro
1265~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1266
1267Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1268
1269   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1270
1271If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1272packets received from the given port.
1273
1274If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1275GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1276
1277.. note::
1278
1279   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1280   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1281   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1282   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1283   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1284   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1285   transmitted to.
1286
1287show port - gro
1288~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1289
1290Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1291
1292   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1293
1294set gro flush
1295~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1296
1297Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1298
1299   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1300
1301When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1302packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1303can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1304from the reassembly tables.
1305
1306The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1307engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1308operations.
1309
1310By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1311from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1312of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1313
1314Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1315stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1316stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1317
1318set port - gso
1319~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1320
1321Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1322
1323   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1324
1325If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1326packets, transmitted on the given port.
1327
1328If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1329By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1330
1331.. note::
1332
1333   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1334   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1335   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1336   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1337   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1338   GSO-enabled ports.
1339
1340   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1341   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1342
1343   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1344
1345   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1346
1347   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1348
1349   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1350   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1351   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1352   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1353   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1354   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1355
1356set gso segsz

1358
1359Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the

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

2124   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2125   Done
2126
2127
2128For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2129
2130.. code-block:: console
2131
2132   testpmd> port stop 0
2133   Stopping ports...
2134   Done
2135   testpmd> port close 0
2136   Closing ports...
2137   Done
2138
2139   testpmd> port detach 0
2140   Detaching a port...
2141   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2142   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2143   Done
2144
2145To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2146Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2147Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2148
2149For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2150
2151.. code-block:: console
2152
2153   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2154
2155   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

2253This is equivalent to the ``--max-pkt-len`` command-line option.
2254
2255port config - max-lro-pkt-size
2256~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2257
2258Set the maximum LRO aggregated packet size::
2259
2260   testpmd> port config all max-lro-pkt-size (value)

2268
2269   testpmd> port config all drop-en (on|off)
2270
2271Packet dropping when no receive buffers available is off by default.
2272
2273The ``on`` option is equivalent to the ``--enable-drop-en`` command-line option.
2274
2275port config - RSS
2276~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2277
2278Set the RSS (Receive Side Scaling) mode on or off::

2303
2304The traffic class should be 4 or 8.
2305
2306port config - Burst
2307~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2308
2309Set the number of packets per burst::
2310
2311   testpmd> port config all burst (value)
2312

2425Device Functions
2426----------------
2427
2428The following sections show functions for device operations.
2429
2430device detach
2431~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2432
2433Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2434
2435   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2436
2437Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2438
2439For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2440
2441.. code-block:: console
2442
2443    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2444    Removing a device...
2445    Port 1 is now closed
2446    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2447    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2448    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2449    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2450    Now total ports is 1
2451
2452For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2453
2454.. code-block:: console
2455
2456    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2457    Removing a device...
2458    Port 0 is now closed
2459    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2460    Now total ports is 0
2461    Done
2462
2463In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2464This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2465
2466Link Bonding Functions

2491For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2492
2493   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2494
2495
2496remove bonding slave
2497~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2498
2499Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::

2547For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2548
2549   testpmd> set bonding balance_xmit_policy 10 l34
2550
2551
2552set bonding mon_period
2553~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3206Filter Functions
3207----------------
3208
3209This section details the available filter functions that are available.
3210
3211Note these functions interface the deprecated legacy filtering framework,
3212superseded by *rte_flow*. See `Flow rules management`_.
3213
3214.. _testpmd_flow_director:
3215
3216flow_director_mask
3217~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3218
3219Set flow director's input masks::
3220
3221   flow_director_mask (port_id) mode IP vlan (vlan_value) \
3222                      src_mask (ipv4_src) (ipv6_src) (src_port) \
3223                      dst_mask (ipv4_dst) (ipv6_dst) (dst_port)
3224
3225   flow_director_mask (port_id) mode MAC-VLAN vlan (vlan_value)
3226
3227   flow_director_mask (port_id) mode Tunnel vlan (vlan_value) \

3229                      tunnel-id (tunnel_id_value)
3230
3231Example, to set flow director mask on port 0::
3232
3233   testpmd> flow_director_mask 0 mode IP vlan 0xefff \
3234            src_mask 255.255.255.255 \

3237                FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF 0xFFFF
3238
3239flow_director_flex_payload
3240~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3241
3242Configure flexible payload selection::
3243
3244   flow_director_flex_payload (port_id) (raw|l2|l3|l4) (config)

3253
3254Flow rules management
3255---------------------
3256
3257Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3258``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3259modes).
3260
3261Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3262features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3263not recommended.
3264
3265``flow`` syntax
3266~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3267
3268Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3269of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3270other commands, in particular:
3271
3272- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3273  token, not that of the entire command.
3274
3275- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3276  in the contextual help).
3277
3278The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3279their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3280following sections.
3281
3282- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3283
3284   flow validate {port_id}
3285       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3286       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3287       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3288
3289- Create a flow rule::
3290
3291   flow create {port_id}
3292       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3293       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3294       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3295
3296- Destroy specific flow rules::
3297
3298   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3299
3300- Destroy all flow rules::
3301
3302   flow flush {port_id}
3303
3304- Query an existing flow rule::
3305
3306   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3307
3308- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3309  identifiers::
3310
3311   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3312
3313- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3314

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

3769
3770Actions list
3771^^^^^^^^^^^^
3772
3773A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3774`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3775terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3776
3777Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3778rte_flow_action_type``).
3779
3780Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3781
3782   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3783      actions drop / end
3784
3785Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3786there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3787queue index.
3788
3789This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3790
3791   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3792      actions queue index 6 / end
3793
3794While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3795
3796   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3797      actions queue / end
3798
3799As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3800rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3801
3802   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3803
3804::
3805
3806   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3807
3808All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3809action of a given type is taken into account::
3810
3811   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3812
3813::
3814
3815   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3816
3817::
3818
3819   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3820
3821Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3822actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3823

4041Destroying flow rules
4042~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4043
4044``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4045by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4046times as necessary::
4047
4048   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4049
4050If successful, it will show::
4051
4052   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4053
4054It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4055message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4056
4057   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4058
4059``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4060arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4061
4062   flow flush {port_id}
4063
4064Any errors are reported as above.
4065
4066Creating several rules and destroying them::
4067
4068   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4069      actions queue index 2 / end
4070   Flow rule #0 created
4071   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4072      actions queue index 3 / end
4073   Flow rule #1 created
4074   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4075   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4076   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4077   testpmd>
4078
4079The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4080
4081   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4082      actions queue index 2 / end
4083   Flow rule #0 created
4084   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4085      actions queue index 3 / end
4086   Flow rule #1 created
4087   testpmd> flow flush 0
4088   testpmd>
4089
4090Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4091
4092   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4093      actions queue index 2 / end
4094   Flow rule #0 created
4095   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4096      actions queue index 3 / end
4097   Flow rule #1 created
4098   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4099   testpmd>
4100   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4101   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4102   testpmd>
4103
4104Querying flow rules
4105~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4106
4107``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4108ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4109command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4110
4111   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4112
4113If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4114or the following message::
4115
4116   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4117
4118Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4119error occurred::
4120
4121   Flow rule #[...] not found
4122
4123::
4124
4125   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4126
4127Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4128number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4129output has the following format::
4130
4131   count:
4132    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4133    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4134    hits: [...] # number of packets
4135    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4136
4137Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4138
4139   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4140      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4141   Flow rule #4 created
4142   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4143   count:
4144    hits_set: 1
4145    bytes_set: 0
4146    hits: 386446
4147    bytes: 0
4148   testpmd>
4149
4150Listing flow rules
4151~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4152
4153``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4154filtered by group identifiers::
4155
4156   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4157
4158This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4159exist::
4160
4161   Invalid port [...]
4162
4163Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4164flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4165configured on the device::
4166
4167   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4168   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4169
4170``Attr`` column flags:
4171
4172- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4173- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4174
4175Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4176
4177   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4178      actions queue index 6 / end
4179   Flow rule #0 created
4180   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4181      actions queue index 2 / end
4182   Flow rule #1 created
4183   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4184      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4185   Flow rule #2 created
4186   testpmd> flow list 0
4187   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4188   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4189   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4190   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4191   testpmd>
4192
4193Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4194
4195   testpmd> flow list 1
4196   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4197   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4198   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4199   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4200   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4201   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4202   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4203   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4204   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4205   testpmd>
4206
4207Output can be limited to specific groups::
4208
4209   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4210   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4211   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4212   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4213   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4214   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4215   testpmd>
4216
4217Toggling isolated mode
4218~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4219
4220``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4221must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4222is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4223resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4224
4225 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4226
4227If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4228
4229 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4230    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4231
4232Or::
4233
4234 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4235    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4236
4237Otherwise, in case of error::
4238
4239   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4240
4241Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4242ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4243first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4244
4245Enabling isolated mode::
4246
4247 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4248 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4249 testpmd>
4250
4251Disabling isolated mode::
4252
4253 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4254 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4255 testpmd>
4256
4257Dumping HW internal information
4258~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4259
4260``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4261all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4262
4263   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4264
4265If successful, it will show::
4266
4267   Flow dump finished
4268
4269Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4270
4271   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4272
4273Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4274~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4275
4276``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4277and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4278
4279   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4280
4281Listing current aged flow rules::
4282
4283   testpmd> flow aged 0
4284   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4285   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4286      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4287   Flow rule #0 created
4288   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4289      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4290   Flow rule #1 created
4291   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4292      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4293   Flow rule #2 created
4294   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4295      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4296   Flow rule #3 created
4297
4298
4299Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4300information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4301those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4302will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4303
4304   testpmd> flow aged 0
4305   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4306   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4307   2       0       0       i--
4308   3       0       0       i--
4309   1       0       0       i--
4310   0       0       0       i--
4311
4312If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.
4313
4314   testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
4315   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4316   ID      Group   Prio    Attr

4330Creating shared actions
4331~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4332``flow shared_action {port_id} create`` creates shared action with optional
4333shared action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_shared_action_create()``::
4334
4335   flow shared_action {port_id} create [action_id {shared_action_id}]
4336      [ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
4337
4338If successful, it will show::
4339
4340   Shared action #[...] created
4341
4342Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action already exists or that
4343some error occurred::
4344
4345   Shared action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4346
4347::
4348
4349   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4350
4351Create shared rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4352
4353   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 create action_id 100 \
4354      ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
4355
4356Create shared rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
4357port 0::
4358
4359	testpmd> flow shared_action 0 create action_id \
4360		ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4361
4362Updating shared actions
4363~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4364``flow shared_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the shared
4365action from its shared action ID (as returned by
4366``flow shared_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4367``rte_flow_shared_action_update()``::
4368
4369   flow shared_action {port_id} update {shared_action_id}
4370      action {action} / end
4371
4372If successful, it will show::
4373
4374   Shared action #[...] updated
4375
4376Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action not found or that some
4377error occurred::
4378
4379   Failed to find shared action #[...] on port [...]
4380
4381::
4382
4383   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4384
4385Update shared rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4386(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4387
4388   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4389
4390Destroying shared actions
4391~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4392``flow shared_action {port_id} update`` destroys one or more shared actions
4393from their shared action IDs (as returned by
4394``flow shared_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4395``rte_flow_shared_action_destroy()``::
4396
4397   flow shared_action {port_id} destroy action_id {shared_action_id} [...]
4398
4399If successful, it will show::
4400
4401   Shared action #[...] destroyed
4402
4403It does not report anything for shared action IDs that do not exist.
4404The usual error message is shown when a shared action cannot be destroyed::
4405
4406   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4407
4408Destroy shared actions having id 100 & 101::
4409
4410   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4411
4412Query shared actions
4413~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4414``flow shared_action {port_id} query`` queries the shared action from its
4415shared action ID (as returned by ``flow shared_action {port_id} create``).
4416It is bound to ``rte_flow_shared_action_query()``::
4417
4418  flow shared_action {port_id} query {shared_action_id}
4419
4420Currently only rss shared action supported. If successful, it will show::
4421
4422   Shared RSS action:
4423      refs:[...]
4424
4425Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action not found or that some
4426error occurred::
4427
4428   Failed to find shared action #[...] on port [...]
4429
4430::
4431
4432   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4433
4434Query shared action having id 100::
4435
4436   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 query 100
4437
4438Sample QinQ flow rules
4439~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4440
4441Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4442
4443   testpmd> port stop 0
4444   testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4445
4446The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4447
4448To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4449
4450   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4451   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4452   testpmd> port start 0
4453
4454Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4455
4456::
4457
4458   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4459       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4460   Flow rule #0 validated

4469
4470Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
4471
4472::
4473
4474   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4475        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end

4486
4487Sample VXLAN flow rules
4488~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4489
4490Before creating VXLAN rule(s), the UDP port should be added for VXLAN packet
4491filter on a port::
4492
4493  testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0
4494
4495Create VXLAN rules on port 0 to steer traffic to PF queues.

4846BPF Functions
4847--------------
4848
4849The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
4850
4851bpf-load
4852~~~~~~~~
4853
4854Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
4855
4856   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
4857
4858The available load-flags are:
4859
4860* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
4861
4862* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
4863
4864* ``-``: none.
4865
4866.. note::
4867
4868   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
4869
4870For example:
4871
4872.. code-block:: console
4873
4874   cd examples/bpf
4875   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
4876
4877Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
4878
4879.. code-block:: console
4880
4881   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
4882
4883To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
4884
4885.. code-block:: console
4886
4887   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
4888
4889bpf-unload
4890~~~~~~~~~~
4891
4892Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
4893
4894   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
4895
4896For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
4897
4898.. code-block:: console
4899
4900   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
4901
