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

62Command File Functions
63----------------------
64
65To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
66practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
67
68* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
69  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
70  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
71
72.. code-block:: console
73
74   ./dpdk-testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

108   testpmd>
109
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.

310
311set fwd
312~~~~~~~

314Set the packet forwarding mode::
315
316   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
317                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap|shared-rxq) (""|retry)
318
319``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
320
321The available information categories are:
322
323* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
324  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
325  This is the default mode.
326
327* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
328  Default application behavior is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
329  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
330  'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
331
332* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
333  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
334
335* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
336  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
337
338* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
339
340* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
341
342* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
343
344* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
345
346* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX.
347
348* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
349  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
350  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
351
352* ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
353
354  L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
355
356  L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
357
358  L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
359
360* ``shared-rxq``: Receive only for shared Rx queue.
361  Resolve packet source port from mbuf and update stream statistics accordingly.
362
363Example::
364
365   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
366
367   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
368
369
370show fwd
371~~~~~~~~
372
373When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.
374Example for the io forwarding engine, with some packet drops on the tx side::
375
376   testpmd> show fwd stats all
377

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

915
916   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
917   testpmd> show config fwd
918
919   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
920   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
921   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
922   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
923   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03

1202csum parse-tunnel
1203~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1204
1205Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1206engine::
1207
1208   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1209
1210If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1211tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1212
1213If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1214header is handled as a packet payload).
1215
1216.. note::
1217
1218   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1219
1220Example:
1221
1222Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1223
1224   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1225
1226* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1227  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1228  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1229
1230* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1231   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1259~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1260
1261Set tso segment size of tunneled packets for a port in csum engine::
1262
1263   testpmd> tunnel_tso set (tso_segsz) (port_id)
1264
1265tunnel tso show
1266~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1267
1268Display the status of tunneled TCP Segmentation Offload for a port::
1269
1270   testpmd> tunnel_tso show (port_id)
1271
1272set port - gro
1273~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1274
1275Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1276
1277   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1278
1279If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1280packets received from the given port.
1281
1282If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1283GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1284
1285.. note::
1286
1287   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1288   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1289   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1290   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1291   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1292   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1293   transmitted to.
1294
1295show port - gro
1296~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1297
1298Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1299
1300   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1301
1302set gro flush
1303~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1304
1305Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1306
1307   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1308
1309When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1310packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1311can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1312from the reassembly tables.
1313
1314The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1315engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1316operations.
1317
1318By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1319from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1320of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1321
1322Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1323stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1324stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1325
1326set port - gso
1327~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1328
1329Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1330
1331   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1332
1333If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1334packets, transmitted on the given port.
1335
1336If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1337By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1338
1339.. note::
1340
1341   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1342   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1343   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1344   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1345   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1346   GSO-enabled ports.
1347
1348   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1349   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1350
1351   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1352
1353   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1354
1355   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1356
1357   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1358   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1359   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1360   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1361   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1362   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1363
1364set gso segsz
1365~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1366
1367Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the
1368packet header and the packet payload for GSO-enabled ports (global)::

1945Config Raw Encapsulation
1946~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1947
1948Configure the raw data to be used when encapsulating a packet by
1949rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1950
1951 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1952
1953There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1954internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1955If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1956
1957 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1958
1959the default index ``0`` is used.

2017Port Functions
2018--------------
2019
2020The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
2021
2022.. note::
2023
2024   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
2025
2026port attach
2027~~~~~~~~~~~
2028
2029Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2030
2031   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
2032
2033To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
2034Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
2035Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
2036
2037For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
2038
2039.. code-block:: console
2040
2041   # Check the status of the available devices.
2042   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2043
2044   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2045   ============================================
2046   <none>
2047
2048   Network devices using kernel driver
2049   ===================================
2050   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
2051
2052
2053   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
2054   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
2055
2056
2057   # Recheck the status of the devices.
2058   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2059   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2060   ============================================
2061   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
2062
2063To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2064
2065For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
2066
2067.. code-block:: console
2068
2069   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
2070   Attaching a new port...
2071   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2072   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2073   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2074   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2075   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
2076   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
2077   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2078   Done
2079
2080For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
2081
2082.. code-block:: console
2083
2084   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
2085   Attaching a new port...
2086   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
2087   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
2088   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2089   Done
2090
2091In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2092This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2093
2094For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
2095the mode and slave parameters must be given.
2096
2097.. code-block:: console
2098
2099   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
2100   Attaching a new port...
2101   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
2102   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
2103   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2104   Done
2105
2106
2107port detach
2108~~~~~~~~~~~
2109
2110Detach a specific port::
2111
2112   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
2113
2114Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
2115
2116For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
2117
2118.. code-block:: console
2119
2120   testpmd> port stop 0
2121   Stopping ports...
2122   Done
2123   testpmd> port close 0
2124   Closing ports...
2125   Done
2126
2127   testpmd> port detach 0
2128   Detaching a port...
2129   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2130   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2131   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2132   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2133   Done
2134
2135
2136For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2137
2138.. code-block:: console
2139
2140   testpmd> port stop 0
2141   Stopping ports...
2142   Done
2143   testpmd> port close 0
2144   Closing ports...
2145   Done
2146
2147   testpmd> port detach 0
2148   Detaching a port...
2149   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2150   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2151   Done
2152
2153To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2154Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2155Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2156
2157For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2158
2159.. code-block:: console
2160
2161   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2162
2163   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2164
2165   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver

2261This is equivalent to the ``--max-pkt-len`` command-line option.
2262
2263port config - max-lro-pkt-size
2264~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2265
2266Set the maximum LRO aggregated packet size::
2267

2276
2277   testpmd> port config all drop-en (on|off)
2278
2279Packet dropping when no receive buffers available is off by default.
2280
2281The ``on`` option is equivalent to the ``--enable-drop-en`` command-line option.
2282
2283port config - RSS
2284~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2285
2286Set the RSS (Receive Side Scaling) mode on or off::

2289
2290RSS is on by default.
2291
2292The ``all`` option is equivalent to eth|vlan|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|l2tpv3|esp|ah|pfcp.
2293
2294The ``default`` option enables all supported RSS types reported by device info.

2312The traffic class should be 4 or 8.
2313
2314port config - Burst
2315~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2316
2317Set the number of packets per burst::
2318

2402
2403port config dynf
2404~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2405
2406Set/clear dynamic flag per port.
2407testpmd will register this flag in the mbuf (same registration
2408for both Tx and Rx). Then set/clear this flag for each Tx
2409packet sent from this port. The set bit only works for Tx packet::
2410
2411   testpmd> port config (port_id) dynf (name) (set|clear)

2442Device Functions
2443----------------
2444
2445The following sections show functions for device operations.
2446
2447device detach
2448~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2449
2450Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2451
2452   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2453
2454Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2455
2456For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2457
2458.. code-block:: console
2459
2460    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2461    Removing a device...
2462    Port 1 is now closed
2463    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2464    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2465    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2466    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2467    Now total ports is 1
2468
2469For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2470
2471.. code-block:: console
2472
2473    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2474    Removing a device...
2475    Port 0 is now closed
2476    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2477    Now total ports is 0
2478    Done
2479
2480In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2481This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2482
2483Link Bonding Functions

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

2573
2574This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2575When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2576link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2577
2578   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)

3287Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3288``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3289modes).

3297
3298Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3299of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3300other commands, in particular:
3301
3302- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3303  token, not that of the entire command.
3304
3305- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3306  in the contextual help).
3307
3308The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3309their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3310following sections.
3311
3312- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3313
3314   flow validate {port_id}
3315       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3316       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3317       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3318
3319- Create a flow rule::
3320
3321   flow create {port_id}
3322       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3323       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3324       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3325
3326- Destroy specific flow rules::
3327
3328   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3329
3330- Destroy all flow rules::
3331
3332   flow flush {port_id}
3333
3334- Query an existing flow rule::
3335
3336   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3337
3338- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3339  identifiers::
3340
3341   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3342
3343- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3344
3345   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3346
3347- Dump internal representation information of all flows in hardware::
3348
3349   flow dump {port_id} all {output_file}
3350
3351  for one flow::
3352
3353   flow dump {port_id} rule {rule_id} {output_file}
3354
3355- List and destroy aged flow rules::
3356
3357   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
3358
3359- Tunnel offload - create a tunnel stub::
3360
3361   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3362
3363- Tunnel offload - destroy a tunnel stub::
3364
3365   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3366
3367- Tunnel offload - list port tunnel stubs::
3368
3369   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3370
3371Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3372~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3373
3374``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3375
3376   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3377
3378If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3379
3380   port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3381
3382Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3383
3384Destroying tunnel offload stub
3385~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3386
3387``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3388
3389   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3390
3391Listing tunnel offload stubs
3392~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3393
3394``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3395
3396   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3397
3398Validating flow rules
3399~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3400
3401``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3402underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3403bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3404
3405   flow validate {port_id}
3406      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3407      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3408      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3409
3410If successful, it will show::
3411
3412   Flow rule validated
3413
3414Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3415
3416   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3417
3418This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3419described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3420
3421Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3422index 6 is supported::
3423
3424   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3425      actions queue index 6 / end
3426   Flow rule validated
3427   testpmd>
3428
3429Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3430
3431   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3432      actions drop / end
3433   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3434   testpmd>
3435
3436Creating flow rules
3437~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3438
3439``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3440to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3441
3442   flow create {port_id}
3443      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3444      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3445      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3446      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3447
3448If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3449
3450   Flow rule #[...] created
3451
3452Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3453
3454   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3455
3456Parameters describe in the following order:
3457
3458- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3459- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3460- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3461  *end* pattern item.
3462- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3463  action.
3464
3465These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3466underlying functions.
3467
3468The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3469
3470   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3471
3472Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3473one.
3474
3475**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3476
3477Attributes
3478^^^^^^^^^^
3479
3480These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3481specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3482
3483- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3484- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3485- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3486- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3487- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3488
3489Please note that use of ``transfer`` attribute requires that the flow and
3490its indirect components be managed via so-called ``transfer`` proxy port.
3491See `show flow transfer proxy port ID for the given port`_ for details.
3492
3493Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3494value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3495
3496   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3497
3498Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3499
3500While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3501simultaneously.
3502
3503Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3504
3505   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3506
3507Tunnel offload
3508^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3509
3510Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3511
3512- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3513- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunnel offload match type.
3514
3515Matching pattern
3516^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3517
3518A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3519items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3520
3521Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3522rte_flow_item_type``).
3523
3524The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3525below::
3526
3527   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3528
3529Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3530layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3531unlikely to match any packet::
3532
3533   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3534
3535More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3536documentation.
3537
3538Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3539``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3540
3541   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3542      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3543
3544This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3545
3546In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3547``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3548in a similar fashion.
3549
3550The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3551and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3552accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3553
3554- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3555- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3556- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3557- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3558- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3559
3560These yield identical results::
3561
3562   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3563
3564::
3565
3566   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3567
3568::
3569
3570   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3571
3572::
3573
3574   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3575
3576::
3577
3578   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3579
3580Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3581
3582   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3583
3584Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3585
3586   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3587      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3588
3589Properties can be modified multiple times::
3590
3591   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3592
3593::
3594
3595   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

3843Actions list
3844^^^^^^^^^^^^
3845
3846A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3847`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3848terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3849
3850Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3851rte_flow_action_type``).
3852
3853Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3854
3855   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3856      actions drop / end
3857
3858Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3859there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3860queue index.
3861
3862This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3863
3864   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3865      actions queue index 6 / end
3866
3867While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3868
3869   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3870      actions queue / end
3871
3872As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3873rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3874
3875   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3876
3877::
3878
3879   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3880
3881All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3882action of a given type is taken into account::
3883
3884   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3885
3886::
3887
3888   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3889
3890::
3891
3892   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3893
3894Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3895actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3896
3897   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3898
3899::
3900
3901   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3902
3903::
3904
3905   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3906
3907Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
3908

4128Destroying flow rules
4129~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4130
4131``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4132by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4133times as necessary::
4134
4135   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4136
4137If successful, it will show::
4138
4139   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4140
4141It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4142message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4143
4144   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4145
4146``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4147arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4148
4149   flow flush {port_id}
4150
4151Any errors are reported as above.
4152
4153Creating several rules and destroying them::
4154
4155   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4156      actions queue index 2 / end
4157   Flow rule #0 created
4158   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4159      actions queue index 3 / end
4160   Flow rule #1 created
4161   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4162   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4163   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4164   testpmd>
4165
4166The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4167
4168   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4169      actions queue index 2 / end
4170   Flow rule #0 created
4171   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4172      actions queue index 3 / end
4173   Flow rule #1 created
4174   testpmd> flow flush 0
4175   testpmd>
4176
4177Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4178
4179   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4180      actions queue index 2 / end
4181   Flow rule #0 created
4182   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4183      actions queue index 3 / end
4184   Flow rule #1 created
4185   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4186   testpmd>
4187   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4188   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4189   testpmd>
4190
4191Querying flow rules
4192~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4193
4194``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4195ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4196command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4197
4198   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4199
4200If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4201or the following message::
4202
4203   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4204
4205Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4206error occurred::
4207
4208   Flow rule #[...] not found
4209
4210::
4211
4212   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4213
4214Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4215number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4216output has the following format::
4217
4218   count:
4219    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4220    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4221    hits: [...] # number of packets
4222    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4223
4224Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4225
4226   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4227      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4228   Flow rule #4 created
4229   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4230   count:
4231    hits_set: 1
4232    bytes_set: 0
4233    hits: 386446
4234    bytes: 0
4235   testpmd>
4236
4237Listing flow rules
4238~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4239
4240``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4241filtered by group identifiers::
4242
4243   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4244
4245This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4246exist::
4247
4248   Invalid port [...]
4249
4250Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4251flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4252configured on the device::
4253
4254   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4255   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4256
4257``Attr`` column flags:
4258
4259- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4260- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4261
4262Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4263
4264   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4265      actions queue index 6 / end
4266   Flow rule #0 created
4267   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4268      actions queue index 2 / end
4269   Flow rule #1 created
4270   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4271      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4272   Flow rule #2 created
4273   testpmd> flow list 0
4274   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4275   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4276   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4277   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4278   testpmd>
4279
4280Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4281
4282   testpmd> flow list 1
4283   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4284   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4285   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4286   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4287   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4288   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4289   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4290   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4291   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4292   testpmd>
4293
4294Output can be limited to specific groups::
4295
4296   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4297   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4298   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4299   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4300   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4301   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4302   testpmd>
4303
4304Toggling isolated mode
4305~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4306
4307``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4308must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4309is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4310resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4311
4312 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4313
4314If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4315
4316 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4317    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4318
4319Or::
4320
4321 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4322    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4323
4324Otherwise, in case of error::
4325
4326   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4327
4328Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4329ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4330first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4331
4332Enabling isolated mode::
4333
4334 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4335 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4336 testpmd>
4337
4338Disabling isolated mode::

4344Dumping HW internal information
4345~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4346
4347``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4348all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4349
4350   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4351
4352If successful, it will show::
4353
4354   Flow dump finished
4355
4356Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4357
4358   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4359
4360Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4361~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4362
4363``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4364and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4365
4366   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4367
4368Listing current aged flow rules::
4369
4370   testpmd> flow aged 0
4371   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4372   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4373      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4374   Flow rule #0 created
4375   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4376      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4377   Flow rule #1 created
4378   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4379      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4380   Flow rule #2 created
4381   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4382      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4383   Flow rule #3 created
4384
4385
4386Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4387information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4388those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4389will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4390
4391   testpmd> flow aged 0
4392   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4393   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4394   2       0       0       i--
4395   3       0       0       i--
4396   1       0       0       i--
4397   0       0       0       i--
4398
4399If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.
4400
4401   testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
4402   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4403   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4404   2       0       0       i--
4405   3       0       0       i--

4408
4409   Flow rule #2 destroyed
4410   Flow rule #3 destroyed
4411   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4412   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4413   4 flows be destroyed

4416
4417Creating indirect actions
4418~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4419
4420``flow indirect_action {port_id} create`` creates indirect action with optional
4421indirect action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_create()``::
4422
4423   flow indirect_action {port_id} create [action_id {indirect_action_id}]
4424      [ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
4425
4426If successful, it will show::
4427
4428   Indirect action #[...] created
4429
4430Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action already exists or that
4431some error occurred::
4432
4433   Indirect action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4434
4435::
4436
4437   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4438
4439Create indirect rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4440
4441   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id 100 \
4442      ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
4443
4444Create indirect rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
4445port 0::
4446
4447	testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id \
4448		ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4449
4450Updating indirect actions
4451~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4452
4453``flow indirect_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the indirect
4454action from its indirect action ID (as returned by
4455``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4456``rte_flow_action_handle_update()``::
4457
4458   flow indirect_action {port_id} update {indirect_action_id}
4459      action {action} / end
4460
4461If successful, it will show::
4462
4463   Indirect action #[...] updated
4464
4465Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4466error occurred::
4467
4468   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4469
4470::
4471
4472   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4473
4474Update indirect rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4475(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4476
4477   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4478
4479Destroying indirect actions
4480~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4481
4482``flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy`` destroys one or more indirect actions
4483from their indirect action IDs (as returned by
4484``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4485``rte_flow_action_handle_destroy()``::
4486
4487   flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy action_id {indirect_action_id} [...]
4488
4489If successful, it will show::
4490
4491   Indirect action #[...] destroyed
4492
4493It does not report anything for indirect action IDs that do not exist.
4494The usual error message is shown when a indirect action cannot be destroyed::
4495
4496   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4497
4498Destroy indirect actions having id 100 & 101::
4499
4500   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4501
4502Query indirect actions
4503~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4504
4505``flow indirect_action {port_id} query`` queries the indirect action from its
4506indirect action ID (as returned by ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``).
4507It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_query()``::
4508
4509  flow indirect_action {port_id} query {indirect_action_id}
4510
4511Currently only rss indirect action supported. If successful, it will show::
4512
4513   Indirect RSS action:
4514      refs:[...]
4515
4516Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4517error occurred::
4518
4519   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4520
4521::
4522
4523   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4524
4525Query indirect action having id 100::
4526
4527   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 query 100
4528
4529Sample QinQ flow rules
4530~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4531
4532Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4533
4534   testpmd> port stop 0
4535   testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4536
4537The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4538
4539To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4540
4541   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4542   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4543   testpmd> port start 0
4544
4545Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4546
4547::
4548
4549   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4550       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end

5083BPF Functions
5084--------------
5085
5086The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5087
5088bpf-load
5089~~~~~~~~
5090
5091Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5092
5093   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5094
5095The available load-flags are:
5096
5097* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5098
5099* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5100
5101* ``-``: none.
5102
5103.. note::
5104
5105   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5106
5107For example:
5108
5109.. code-block:: console
5110
5111   cd examples/bpf
5112   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5113
5114Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5115
5116.. code-block:: console
5117
5118   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5119
5120To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5121
5122.. code-block:: console
5123
5124   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5125
5126bpf-unload
5127~~~~~~~~~~
5128
5129Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5130
5131   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5132
5133For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5134
5135.. code-block:: console
5136
5137   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5138
5139Flex Item Functions
5140-------------------
5141
5142The following sections show functions that configure and create flex item object,
5143create flex pattern and use it in a flow rule.
5144The commands will use 20 bytes IPv4 header for examples:
5145
5146::
5147
5148   0                   1                   2                   3

5163Create flex item
5164~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5165
5166Flex item object is created by PMD according to a new header configuration. The
5167header configuration is compiled by the testpmd and stored in
5168``rte_flow_item_flex_conf`` type variable.
5169
5170::
5171
5172   # flow flex_item create <port> <flex id> <configuration file>
5173   testpmd> flow flex_item init 0 3 ipv4_flex_config.json
5174   port-0: created flex item #3
5175
5176Flex item configuration is kept in external JSON file.
5177It describes the following header elements:
5178
5179**New header length.**
5180
5181Specify whether the new header has fixed or variable length and the basic/minimal
5182header length value.

5184If header length is not fixed, header location with a value that completes header
5185length calculation and scale/offset function must be added.
5186
5187Scale function depends on port hardware.

5191Describes location in the new header that specify following network header type.
5192
5193**Flow match samples.**
5194
5195Describes locations in the new header that will be used in flow rules.
5196
5197Number of flow samples and sample maximal length depend of port hardware.

5230Flex pattern and flow rules
5231~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5232
5233Flex pattern describe parts of network header that will trigger flex flow item hit in a flow rule.
5234Flex pattern directly related to flex item samples configuration.
5235Flex pattern can be shared between ports.
5236
