6Testpmd Runtime Functions
7=========================
8
9Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
10it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
11configure the application, display statistics (including the extended NIC
12statistics aka xstats) , set the Flow Director and other tasks::
13
14   testpmd>
15
16The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
17Common bash command-line functions such as ``Ctrl+a`` and ``Ctrl+e`` to go to the start and end of the prompt line are supported
18as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
19
20There is also support for tab completion.
21If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
22
23.. code-block:: console
24
25   testpmd> show port <TAB>
26
27       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap X
28       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap all
29       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap X
30       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap all
31       ...
32
33
34.. note::
35
36   Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
37
38      testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
39               (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
40
41In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
42
43Help Functions
44--------------
45
46The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
47These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
48
49.. code-block:: console
50
51   testpmd> help
52       Help is available for the following sections:
53
54           help control                    : Start and stop forwarding.
55           help display                    : Displaying port, stats and config information.

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

95
96
97* At run-time additional commands can be loaded in bulk by invoking the ``load FILENAME``
98  command.
99
100.. code-block:: console
101
102   testpmd> load /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
103   Flow rule #0 created

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

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

648Configuration Functions
649-----------------------
650
651The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
652
653This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
654
655.. note::
656
657   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
658

662Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
663
664   testpmd> set default
665
666set verbose
667~~~~~~~~~~~
668
669Set the debug verbosity level::
670
671   testpmd> set verbose (level)
672
673Available levels are as following:
674
675* ``0`` silent except for error.
676* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
677* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
678* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
679

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

924
925.. code-block:: console
926
927   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
928   testpmd> show config fwd
929
930   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
931   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
932   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
933   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
934   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03
935   RX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:02

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

1188
1189Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1190
1191   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1192
1193If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1194packets received from the given port.
1195
1196If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1197GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1198
1199.. note::
1200
1201   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1202   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1203   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1204   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1205   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1206   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1207   transmitted to.
1208
1209show port - gro
1210~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1211
1212Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1213
1214   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1215
1216set gro flush
1217~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1218
1219Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1220
1221   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1222
1223When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1224packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1225can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1226from the reassembly tables.
1227
1228The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1229engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1230operations.
1231
1232By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1233from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1234of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1235
1236Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1237stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1238stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1239
1240set port - gso
1241~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1242
1243Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1244
1245   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1246
1247If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1248packets, transmitted on the given port.
1249
1250If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1251By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1252
1253.. note::
1254
1255   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1256   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1257   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1258   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1259   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1260   GSO-enabled ports.
1261
1262   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1263   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1264
1265   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1266
1267   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1268
1269   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1270
1271   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1272   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1273   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1274   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1275   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1276   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1277
1278set gso segsz
1279~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1280
1281Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the

1758
1759Config Raw Encapsulation
1760~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1761
1762Configure the raw data to be used when encapsulating a packet by
1763rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1764
1765 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1766
1767There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1768internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1769If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1770
1771 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1772
1773the default index ``0`` is used.
1774In order to use different encapsulating header, ``index`` must be specified
1775during the flow rule creation::
1776
1777 testpmd> flow create 0 egress pattern eth / ipv4 / end actions
1778        raw_encap index 2 / end
1779
1780Otherwise the default index ``0`` is used.

1831Port Functions
1832--------------
1833
1834The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1835
1836.. note::
1837
1838   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1839
1840.. _port_attach:
1841
1842port attach
1843~~~~~~~~~~~
1844
1845Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1846
1847   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1848
1849To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1850Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1851Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1852
1853For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1854
1855.. code-block:: console
1856
1857   # Check the status of the available devices.
1858   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1859
1860   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1861   ============================================
1862   <none>
1863
1864   Network devices using kernel driver
1865   ===================================
1866   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1867
1868
1869   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1870   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1871
1872
1873   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1874   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1875   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1876   ============================================
1877   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1878
1879To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1880
1881For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1882
1883.. code-block:: console
1884
1885   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1886   Attaching a new port...
1887   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1888   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1889   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1890   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1891   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1892   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1893   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1894   Done
1895
1896For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1897
1898.. code-block:: console
1899
1900   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1901   Attaching a new port...
1902   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1903   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1904   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1905   Done
1906
1907In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1908This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1909
1910For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1911the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1912
1913.. code-block:: console
1914
1915   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1916   Attaching a new port...
1917   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1918   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1919   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1920   Done
1921
1922
1923port detach
1924~~~~~~~~~~~
1925
1926Detach a specific port::
1927
1928   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1929
1930Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1931
1932For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1933
1934.. code-block:: console
1935
1936   testpmd> port stop 0
1937   Stopping ports...
1938   Done
1939   testpmd> port close 0
1940   Closing ports...
1941   Done
1942
1943   testpmd> port detach 0
1944   Detaching a port...
1945   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1946   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1947   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1948   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1949   Done
1950
1951
1952For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1953
1954.. code-block:: console
1955
1956   testpmd> port stop 0
1957   Stopping ports...
1958   Done
1959   testpmd> port close 0
1960   Closing ports...
1961   Done
1962
1963   testpmd> port detach 0
1964   Detaching a port...
1965   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1966   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1967   Done
1968
1969To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1970Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1971Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1972
1973For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1974
1975.. code-block:: console
1976
1977   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1978

2265Device Functions
2266----------------
2267
2268The following sections show functions for device operations.
2269
2270device detach
2271~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2272
2273Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2274
2275   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2276
2277Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2278
2279For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2280
2281.. code-block:: console
2282
2283    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2284    Removing a device...
2285    Port 1 is now closed
2286    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2287    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2288    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2289    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2290    Now total ports is 1
2291
2292For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2293
2294.. code-block:: console
2295
2296    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2297    Removing a device...
2298    Port 0 is now closed
2299    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2300    Now total ports is 0
2301    Done
2302
2303In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2304This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2305

2874Congestion Management
2875---------------------
2876
2877Get capabilities
2878~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2879

2902
2903Filter Functions
2904----------------
2905
2906This section details the available filter functions that are available.
2907
2908Note these functions interface the deprecated legacy filtering framework,
2909superseded by *rte_flow*. See `Flow rules management`_.
2910
2911.. _testpmd_rte_flow:
2912
2913Flow rules management
2914---------------------
2915
2916Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
2917``flow`` command (configuration, validation, creation, destruction, queries
2918and operation modes).
2919
2920Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
2921features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
2922not recommended.
2923
2924``flow`` syntax
2925~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2926
2927Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
2928of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
2929other commands, in particular:
2930
2931- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
2932  token, not that of the entire command.
2933
2934- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
2935  in the contextual help).
2936
2937The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
2938their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
2939following sections.

3260~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3261
3262``flow pull`` asks the underlying device about flow queue operations
3263results and return all the processed (successfully or not) operations.
3264It is bound to ``rte_flow_pull()``::
3265
3266   flow pull {port_id} queue {queue_id}
3267
3268If successful, it will show::
3269
3270   Queue #[...] pulled #[...] operations (#[...] failed, #[...] succeeded)
3271
3272The usual error message is shown when operations results cannot be pulled::
3273
3274   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3275
3276Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3277~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3278
3279``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3280
3281   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3282
3283If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3284
3285   port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3286
3287Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3288
3289Destroying tunnel offload stub
3290~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3291
3292``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3293
3294   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3295
3296Listing tunnel offload stubs
3297~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3298
3299``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3300
3301   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3302
3303Validating flow rules
3304~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3305
3306``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3307underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3308bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3309
3310   flow validate {port_id}
3311      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3312      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3313      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3314
3315If successful, it will show::
3316
3317   Flow rule validated
3318
3319Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3320
3321   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3322
3323This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3324described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3325
3326Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3327index 6 is supported::
3328
3329   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3330      actions queue index 6 / end
3331   Flow rule validated
3332   testpmd>
3333
3334Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3335
3336   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3337      actions drop / end
3338   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3339   testpmd>
3340
3341Creating flow rules
3342~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3343
3344``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3345to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3346
3347   flow create {port_id}
3348      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3349      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3350      [user_id {user_id}] pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3351      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3352
3353If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3354
3355   Flow rule #[...] created
3356
3357Or if ``user_id`` is provided::
3358
3359   Flow rule #[...] created, user-id [...]
3360
3361Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3362
3363   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3364
3365Parameters describe in the following order:
3366
3367- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3368- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3369- User identifier for the flow.
3370- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3371  *end* pattern item.
3372- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3373  action.
3374
3375These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3376underlying functions.
3377
3378The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3379
3380   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3381
3382Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3383one.
3384
3385**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3386
3387Enqueueing creation of flow rules
3388~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3389
3390``flow queue create`` adds creation operation of a flow rule to a queue.
3391It is bound to ``rte_flow_async_create()``::
3392
3393   flow queue {port_id} create {queue_id}
3394       [postpone {boolean}] template_table {table_id}
3395       pattern_template {pattern_template_index}
3396       actions_template {actions_template_index}
3397       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3398       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3399
3400If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3401
3402   Flow rule #[...] creaion enqueued
3403
3404Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3405
3406   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3407
3408This command uses the same pattern items and actions as ``flow create``,
3409their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3410
3411``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
3412
3413Attributes
3414^^^^^^^^^^
3415
3416These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3417specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3418
3419- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3420- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3421- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3422- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3423- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3424
3425Please note that use of ``transfer`` attribute requires that the flow and
3426its indirect components be managed via so-called ``transfer`` proxy port.
3427See `show flow transfer proxy port ID for the given port`_ for details.
3428
3429Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3430value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3431
3432   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3433
3434Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3435
3436While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3437simultaneously.
3438
3439Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3440
3441   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3442
3443Tunnel offload
3444^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3445
3446Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3447
3448- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3449- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunnel offload match type.
3450
3451Matching pattern
3452^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3453
3454A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3455items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3456
3457Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3458rte_flow_item_type``).
3459
3460The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3461below::
3462
3463   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3464
3465Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3466layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3467unlikely to match any packet::
3468
3469   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3470
3471More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3472documentation.
3473
3474Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3475``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3476
3477   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3478      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3479
3480This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3481
3482In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3483``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3484in a similar fashion.
3485
3486The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3487and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3488accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3489
3490- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3491- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3492- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3493- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3494- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3495
3496These yield identical results::
3497
3498   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3499
3500::
3501
3502   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3503
3504::
3505
3506   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3507
3508::
3509
3510   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3511
3512::
3513
3514   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3515
3516Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3517
3518   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3519
3520Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3521
3522   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3523      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3524
3525Properties can be modified multiple times::
3526
3527   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3528
3529::
3530
3531   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3532

3809Actions list
3810^^^^^^^^^^^^
3811
3812A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3813`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3814terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3815
3816Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3817rte_flow_action_type``).
3818
3819Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3820
3821   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3822      actions drop / end
3823
3824Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3825there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3826queue index.
3827
3828This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3829
3830   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3831      actions queue index 6 / end
3832
3833While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3834
3835   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3836      actions queue / end
3837
3838As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3839rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3840
3841   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3842
3843::
3844
3845   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3846
3847All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3848action of a given type is taken into account::
3849
3850   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3851
3852::
3853
3854   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3855
3856::
3857
3858   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3859
3860Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3861actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3862
3863   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3864
3865::
3866
3867   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3868
3869::
3870
3871   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3872
3873Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4097Destroying flow rules
4098~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4099
4100``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4101by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4102times as necessary::
4103
4104   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...] [user_id]
4105
4106If successful, it will show::
4107
4108   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4109
4110Or if ``user_id`` flag is provided::
4111
4112   Flow rule #[...] destroyed, user-id [...]
4113
4114Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4115is the one provided by the user at creation.
4116It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4117message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4118
4119   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4120
4121``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4122arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4123
4124   flow flush {port_id}
4125
4126Any errors are reported as above.
4127
4128Creating several rules and destroying them::
4129
4130   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4131      actions queue index 2 / end
4132   Flow rule #0 created
4133   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4134      actions queue index 3 / end
4135   Flow rule #1 created
4136   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4137   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4138   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4139   testpmd>
4140
4141The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4142
4143   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4144      actions queue index 2 / end
4145   Flow rule #0 created
4146   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4147      actions queue index 3 / end
4148   Flow rule #1 created
4149   testpmd> flow flush 0
4150   testpmd>
4151
4152Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4153
4154   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4155      actions queue index 2 / end
4156   Flow rule #0 created
4157   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4158      actions queue index 3 / end
4159   Flow rule #1 created
4160   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4161   testpmd>
4162   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4163   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4164   testpmd>
4165
4166Enqueueing destruction of flow rules
4167~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4168
4169``flow queue destroy`` adds destruction operations to destroy one or more rules
4170from their rule ID (as returned by ``flow queue create``) to a queue,
4171this command calls ``rte_flow_async_destroy()`` as many times as necessary::
4172
4173   flow queue {port_id} destroy {queue_id}
4174        [postpone {boolean}] rule {rule_id} [...]
4175
4176If successful, it will show::
4177
4178   Flow rule #[...] destruction enqueued
4179
4180It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4181message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4182
4183   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4184
4185``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
4186
4187Querying flow rules
4188~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4189
4190``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4191ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4192command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4193
4194   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action} [user_id]
4195
4196Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4197is the one provided by the user at creation.
4198If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4199or the following message::
4200
4201   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4202
4203Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4204error occurred::
4205
4206   Flow rule #[...] not found
4207
4208::
4209
4210   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4211
4212Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4213number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4214output has the following format::
4215
4216   count:
4217    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4218    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4219    hits: [...] # number of packets
4220    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4221
4222Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4223
4224   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4225      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4226   Flow rule #4 created
4227   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4228   count:
4229    hits_set: 1
4230    bytes_set: 0
4231    hits: 386446
4232    bytes: 0
4233   testpmd>
4234
4235Listing flow rules
4236~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4237
4238``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4239filtered by group identifiers::
4240
4241   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4242
4243This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4244exist::
4245
4246   Invalid port [...]
4247
4248Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4249flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4250configured on the device::
4251
4252   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4253   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4254
4255``Attr`` column flags:
4256
4257- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4258- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4259
4260Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4261
4262   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4263      actions queue index 6 / end
4264   Flow rule #0 created
4265   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4266      actions queue index 2 / end
4267   Flow rule #1 created
4268   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4269      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4270   Flow rule #2 created
4271   testpmd> flow list 0
4272   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4273   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4274   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4275   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4276   testpmd>
4277
4278Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4279
4280   testpmd> flow list 1
4281   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4282   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4283   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4284   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4285   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4286   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4287   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4288   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4289   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4290   testpmd>
4291
4292Output can be limited to specific groups::
4293

4302Toggling isolated mode
4303~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4304
4305``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4306must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4307is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4308resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4309
4310 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4311
4312If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4313
4314 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4315    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4316
4317Or::
4318
4319 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4320    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4321
4322Otherwise, in case of error::
4323
4324   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4325
4326Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4327ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4328first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4329
4330Enabling isolated mode::
4331
4332 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4333 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4334 testpmd>
4335
4336Disabling isolated mode::
4337
4338 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4339 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4340 testpmd>
4341
4342Dumping HW internal information
4343~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4344
4345``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4346all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4347
4348   flow dump {port_id} {output_file} [user_id]
4349
4350If successful, it will show::
4351
4352   Flow dump finished
4353
4354Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4355
4356   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4357
4358Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4359is the one provided by the user at creation.
4360
4361Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4362~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4363
4364``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4365and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD::
4366
4367   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4368
4369Listing current aged flow rules::
4370
4371   testpmd> flow aged 0
4372   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4373   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4374      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4375   Flow rule #0 created
4376   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4377      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end

4383      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4384   Flow rule #3 created
4385
4386
4387Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4388information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4389those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4390will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4391
4392   testpmd> flow aged 0
4393   Port 0 total aged flows: 4

4420~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4421
4422``flow queue aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from
4423``rte_flow_get_q_aged_flows`` API, and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to
4424destroy those flow rules in PMD::
4425
4426   flow queue {port_id} aged {queue_id} [destroy]

4734Sample VXLAN flow rules
4735~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4736
4737Before creating VXLAN rule(s), the UDP port should be added for VXLAN packet
4738filter on a port::
4739
4740  testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0
4741
4742Create VXLAN rules on port 0 to steer traffic to PF queues.

5251BPF Functions
5252--------------
5253
5254The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5255
5256bpf-load
5257~~~~~~~~
5258
5259Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5260
5261   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5262
5263The available load-flags are:
5264
5265* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5266
5267* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5268
5269* ``-``: none.
5270
5271.. note::
5272
5273   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5274
5275For example:
5276
5277.. code-block:: console
5278
5279   cd examples/bpf
5280   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5281
5282Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5283
5284.. code-block:: console
5285
5286   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5287
5288To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5289
5290.. code-block:: console
5291
5292   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5293
5294bpf-unload
5295~~~~~~~~~~
5296
5297Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5298
5299   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5300
5301For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5302
5303.. code-block:: console
5304
5305   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5306
5307Flex Item Functions
5308-------------------
5309
5310The following sections show functions that configure and create flex item object,
5311create flex pattern and use it in a flow rule.
5312The commands will use 20 bytes IPv4 header for examples:
5313
5314::
5315
5316   0                   1                   2                   3

5331Create flex item
5332~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5333
5334Flex item object is created by PMD according to a new header configuration. The
5335header configuration is compiled by the testpmd and stored in
5336``rte_flow_item_flex_conf`` type variable.
5337
5338::
5339
5340   # flow flex_item create <port> <flex id> <configuration file>
5341   testpmd> flow flex_item init 0 3 ipv4_flex_config.json
5342   port-0: created flex item #3
5343
5344Flex item configuration is kept in external JSON file.
5345It describes the following header elements:
5346
5347**New header length.**
5348
5349Specify whether the new header has fixed or variable length and the basic/minimal
5350header length value.
5351
5352If header length is not fixed, header location with a value that completes header
5353length calculation and scale/offset function must be added.
5354
5355Scale function depends on port hardware.
5356
5357**Next protocol.**
5358
5359Describes location in the new header that specify following network header type.
5360
5361**Flow match samples.**
5362
5363Describes locations in the new header that will be used in flow rules.
5364
5365Number of flow samples and sample maximal length depend of port hardware.
5366
5367**Input trigger.**
5368
5369Describes preceding network header configuration.
5370
5371**Output trigger.**
5372
5373Describes conditions that trigger transfer to following network header
5374
5375.. code-block:: json

5398Flex pattern and flow rules
5399~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5400
5401Flex pattern describe parts of network header that will trigger flex flow item hit in a flow rule.
5402Flex pattern directly related to flex item samples configuration.
5403Flex pattern can be shared between ports.
5404
5405**Flex pattern and flow rule to match IPv4 version and 20 bytes length**
5406
5407::
5408
5409   # set flex_pattern <pattern_id> is <hex bytes sequence>
5410   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 5 is 45FF
5411   created pattern #5
5412
5413   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / flex item is 3 pattern is 5 / end actions mark id 1 / queue index 0 / end
5414   Flow rule #0 created
5415
5416**Flex pattern and flow rule to match packets with source address 1.2.3.4**
5417
5418::
5419
5420   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 2 spec 45000000000000000000000001020304 mask FF0000000000000000000000FFFFFFFF
