33Testpmd Runtime Functions
34=========================
35
36Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
37it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
38configure the application, display statistics, set the Flow Director and other tasks::
39
40   testpmd>
41
42The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
43Common bash command-line functions such as ``Ctrl+a`` and ``Ctrl+e`` to go to the start and end of the prompt line are supported
44as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
45
46There is also support for tab completion.
47If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
48
49.. code-block:: console
50
51   testpmd> show port <TAB>
52
53       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc X
54       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc all
55       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc X
56       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc all
57       ...
58
59
60.. note::
61
62   Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
63
64      testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
65               (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
66
67In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
68
69Help Functions
70--------------
71
72The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
73These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:

203
204For example::
205
206   testpmd> clear port stats all
207
208show (rxq|txq)
209~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
210
211Display information for a given port's RX/TX queue::
212
213   testpmd> show (rxq|txq) info (port_id) (queue_id)
214
215show config
216~~~~~~~~~~~
217
218Displays the configuration of the application.
219The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
220
221   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|txpkts)
222
223The available information categories are:
224
225* ``rxtx``: RX/TX configuration items.
226
227* ``cores``: List of forwarding cores.
228
229* ``fwd``: Packet forwarding configuration.
230
231* ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
232
233For example:
234
235.. code-block:: console
236
237   testpmd> show config rxtx
238
239   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
240   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
241   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
242   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
243   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
244   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
245   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
246
247set fwd
248~~~~~~~

253                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho)
254
255The available information categories are:
256
257* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
258  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
259  This is the default mode.
260
261* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
262
263* ``mac_retry``: Same as "mac" forwarding mode, but includes retries if the destination queue is full.
264
265* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
266  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
267
268* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
269  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
270
271* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
272
273* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
274
275* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
276
277* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
278
279* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
280
281Note: TX timestamping is only available in the "Full Featured" TX path. To force ``testpmd`` into this mode set ``--txqflags=0``.
282
283Example::
284
285   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
286
287   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
288
289
290read rxd
291~~~~~~~~
292
293Display an RX descriptor for a port RX queue::
294
295   testpmd> read rxd (port_id) (queue_id) (rxd_id)
296
297For example::
298
299   testpmd> read rxd 0 0 4
300        0x0000000B - 0x001D0180 / 0x0000000B - 0x001D0180
301
302read txd
303~~~~~~~~
304
305Display a TX descriptor for a port TX queue::
306
307   testpmd> read txd (port_id) (queue_id) (txd_id)
308
309For example::
310
311   testpmd> read txd 0 0 4
312        0x00000001 - 0x24C3C440 / 0x000F0000 - 0x2330003C
313

315Configuration Functions
316-----------------------
317
318The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
319
320This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
321
322.. note::
323
324   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
325
326set default
327~~~~~~~~~~~
328
329Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
330
331   testpmd> set default
332
333set verbose
334~~~~~~~~~~~
335
336Set the debug verbosity level::
337
338   testpmd> set verbose (level)
339
340Currently the only available levels are 0 (silent except for error) and 1 (fully verbose).
341
342set nbport
343~~~~~~~~~~
344
345Set the number of ports used by the application:
346
347set nbport (num)
348
349This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
350
351set nbcore
352~~~~~~~~~~
353
354Set the number of cores used by the application::
355
356   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
357
358This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
359
360.. note::
361
362   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
363
364set coremask
365~~~~~~~~~~~~
366
367Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
368
369   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
370
371This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
372
373.. note::
374
375   The master lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
376
377set portmask
378~~~~~~~~~~~~
379
380Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
381
382   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
383
384This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
385
386set burst
387~~~~~~~~~
388
389Set number of packets per burst::
390
391   testpmd> set burst (num)
392
393This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
394
395In ``mac_retry`` forwarding mode, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
396
397   testpmd> set burst tx delay (micrseconds) retry (num)
398
399set txpkts
400~~~~~~~~~~
401
402Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets::
403
404   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
405
406Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
407
408set txsplit
409~~~~~~~~~~~
410
411Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
412
413   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
414
415Where:
416
417* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
418
419* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
420  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
421  (see above).
422
423* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
424
425set corelist
426~~~~~~~~~~~~
427
428Set the list of forwarding cores::
429
430   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
431
432For example, to change the forwarding cores:
433
434.. code-block:: console
435
436   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
437   testpmd> show config fwd
438
439   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
440   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
441   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
442   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
443   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
444
445.. note::

447   The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
448
449set portlist
450~~~~~~~~~~~~
451
452Set the list of forwarding ports::
453
454   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)
455
456For example, to change the port forwarding:
457
458.. code-block:: console
459
460   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
461   testpmd> show config fwd
462
463   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
464   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
465   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
466   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
467   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03

594
595   testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add (udp_port) (port_id)
596
597rx_vxlan_port remove
598~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
599
600Remove an UDP port for VXLAN packet filter on a port::
601
602   testpmd> rx_vxlan_port rm (udp_port) (port_id)
603
604tx_vlan set
605~~~~~~~~~~~
606
607Set hardware insertion of VLAN IDs in packets sent on a port::
608
609   testpmd> tx_vlan set (port_id) vlan_id[, vlan_id_outer]
610
611For example, set a single VLAN ID (5) insertion on port 0::
612
613   tx_vlan set 0 5
614
615Or, set double VLAN ID (inner: 2, outer: 3) insertion on port 1::
616
617   tx_vlan set 1 2 3
618
619
620tx_vlan set pvid
621~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
622
623Set port based hardware insertion of VLAN ID in packets sent on a port::
624
625   testpmd> tx_vlan set pvid (port_id) (vlan_id) (on|off)
626
627tx_vlan reset
628~~~~~~~~~~~~~
629
630Disable hardware insertion of a VLAN header in packets sent on a port::
631
632   testpmd> tx_vlan reset (port_id)
633
634csum set
635~~~~~~~~
636
637Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
638transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
639
640   testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip) (hw|sw) (port_id)
641
642Where:
643
644* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
645
646* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
647  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
648  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
649
650.. note::
651
652   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
653
654csum parse-tunnel
655~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
656
657Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
658engine::
659
660   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
661
662If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
663tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
664
665If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
666header is handled as a packet payload).
667
668.. note::
669
670   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
671
672Example:
673
674Consider a packet in packet like the following::
675
676   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
677
678* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
679  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
680  ``outer-ip parameter`` relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out``).
681
682* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
683   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.
684

972--------------
973
974The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
975
976.. note::
977
978   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
979
980port attach
981~~~~~~~~~~~
982
983Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args.
984
985To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
986Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
987Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
988
989For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
990
991.. code-block:: console
992
993   # Check the status of the available devices.
994   ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --status
995
996   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
997   ============================================
998   <none>
999
1000   Network devices using kernel driver
1001   ===================================

1005   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1006   sudo ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1007
1008
1009   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1010   ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --status
1011   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1012   ============================================
1013   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1014
1015To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1016
1017port attach (identifier)
1018
1019For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1020
1021.. code-block:: console
1022
1023   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1024   Attaching a new port...
1025   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1

1028   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1029   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1030   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1031   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1032   Done
1033
1034For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1035
1036.. code-block:: console
1037
1038   testpmd> port attach eth_pcap0
1039   Attaching a new port...
1040   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for eth_pcap0
1041   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1042   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1043   Done
1044
1045In this case, identifier is ``eth_pcap0``.
1046This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1047
1048For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1049the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1050
1051.. code-block:: console
1052
1053   testpmd> port attach eth_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1054   Attaching a new port...
1055   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for eth_bond_0
1056   EAL: Create bonded device eth_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1057   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1058   Done
1059
1060
1061port detach
1062~~~~~~~~~~~
1063
1064Detach a specific port.
1065
1066Before detaching a port, the port should be closed::
1067
1068   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1069
1070For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1071
1072.. code-block:: console
1073
1074   testpmd> port close 0
1075   Closing ports...
1076   Done
1077
1078   testpmd> port detach 0
1079   Detaching a port...
1080   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1

1083   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1084   Done
1085
1086
1087For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1088
1089.. code-block:: console
1090
1091   testpmd> port close 0
1092   Closing ports...
1093   Done
1094
1095   testpmd> port detach 0
1096   Detaching a port...
1097   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1098   Port 'eth_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1099   Done
1100
1101To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1102Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1103Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1104
1105For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1106
1107.. code-block:: console
1108
1109   sudo ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1110
1111   ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --status

1368
1369For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1370
1371   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
1372
1373
1374remove bonding slave
1375~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1376
1377Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::

1720~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1721
1722The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
1723
1724Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
1725Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
1726
1727* Perfect match filters.
1728  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
1729  The masked fields are for IP flow.
1730
1731* Signature filters.
1732  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
1733
1734* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
1735  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
1736  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
1737
1738* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
1739  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
1740  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
1741
1742The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
1743per flow type and the flexible payload.
1744
1745The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
1746are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
1747
1748Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.
