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:

185
186   testpmd> show port (port_id) rss reta (size) (mask0, mask1...)
187
188size is used to indicate the hardware supported reta size
189
190show port rss-hash
191~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
192
193Display the RSS hash functions and RSS hash key of a port::
194
195   testpmd> show port (port_id) rss-hash ipv4|ipv4-frag|ipv4-tcp|ipv4-udp|ipv4-sctp|ipv4-other|ipv6|ipv6-frag|ipv6-tcp|ipv6-udp|ipv6-sctp|ipv6-other|l2-payload|ipv6-ex|ipv6-tcp-ex|ipv6-udp-ex [key]
196
197clear port
198~~~~~~~~~~
199
200Clear the port statistics for a given port or for all ports::
201
202   testpmd> clear port (info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap) (port_id|all)
203
204For example::
205
206   testpmd> clear port stats all
207
208show config
209~~~~~~~~~~~
210
211Displays the configuration of the application.
212The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
213
214   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|txpkts)
215
216The available information categories are:
217
218* ``rxtx``: RX/TX configuration items.
219
220* ``cores``: List of forwarding cores.
221
222* ``fwd``: Packet forwarding configuration.
223
224* ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
225
226For example:
227
228.. code-block:: console
229
230   testpmd> show config rxtx
231
232   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
233   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
234   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
235   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
236   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
237   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
238   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
239
240set fwd
241~~~~~~~
242
243Set the packet forwarding mode::
244
245   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|mac_retry|macswap|flowgen| \
246                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho)
247
248The available information categories are:
249
250* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
251  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
252  This is the default mode.
253
254* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
255
256* ``mac_retry``: Same as "mac" forwarding mode, but includes retries if the destination queue is full.
257
258* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
259  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
260
261* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
262  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
263
264* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
265
266* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
267
268* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
269
270* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
271
272* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
273
274Note: TX timestamping is only available in the "Full Featured" TX path. To force ``testpmd`` into this mode set ``--txqflags=0``.
275
276Example::
277
278   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
279
280   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
281
282
283read rxd
284~~~~~~~~
285
286Display an RX descriptor for a port RX queue::
287
288   testpmd> read rxd (port_id) (queue_id) (rxd_id)
289
290For example::
291
292   testpmd> read rxd 0 0 4
293        0x0000000B - 0x001D0180 / 0x0000000B - 0x001D0180
294
295read txd
296~~~~~~~~
297
298Display a TX descriptor for a port TX queue::
299
300   testpmd> read txd (port_id) (queue_id) (txd_id)
301
302For example::
303
304   testpmd> read txd 0 0 4
305        0x00000001 - 0x24C3C440 / 0x000F0000 - 0x2330003C

308Configuration Functions
309-----------------------
310
311The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
312
313This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
314
315.. note::
316
317   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
318
319set default
320~~~~~~~~~~~
321
322Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
323
324   testpmd> set default
325
326set verbose
327~~~~~~~~~~~
328
329Set the debug verbosity level::
330
331   testpmd> set verbose (level)
332
333Currently the only available levels are 0 (silent except for error) and 1 (fully verbose).
334
335set nbport
336~~~~~~~~~~
337
338Set the number of ports used by the application:
339
340set nbport (num)
341
342This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
343
344set nbcore
345~~~~~~~~~~
346
347Set the number of cores used by the application::
348
349   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
350
351This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
352
353.. note::
354
355   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
356
357set coremask
358~~~~~~~~~~~~
359
360Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
361
362   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
363
364This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
365
366.. note::
367
368   The master lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
369
370set portmask
371~~~~~~~~~~~~
372
373Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
374
375   testpmd> set portmask (mask)

377This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
378
379set burst
380~~~~~~~~~
381
382Set number of packets per burst::
383
384   testpmd> set burst (num)
385
386This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
387
388In ``mac_retry`` forwarding mode, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
389
390   testpmd> set burst tx delay (micrseconds) retry (num)
391
392set txpkts
393~~~~~~~~~~
394
395Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets::
396
397   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
398
399Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
400
401set txsplit
402~~~~~~~~~~~
403
404Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
405
406   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
407
408Where:
409
410* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
411
412* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
413  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
414  (see above).
415
416* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
417
418set corelist
419~~~~~~~~~~~~
420
421Set the list of forwarding cores::
422
423   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
424
425For example, to change the forwarding cores:
426
427.. code-block:: console
428
429   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
430   testpmd> show config fwd
431
432   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
433   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
434   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
435   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
436   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
437
438.. note::

440   The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
441
442set portlist
443~~~~~~~~~~~~
444
445Set the list of forwarding ports::
446
447   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)

450
451.. code-block:: console
452
453   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
454   testpmd> show config fwd
455
456   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
457   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
458   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
459   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00

606Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
607transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
608
609   testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip) (hw|sw) (port_id)
610
611Where:
612
613* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
614
615* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
616  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
617  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
618
619.. note::
620
621   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
622
623csum parse-tunnel
624~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
625
626Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
627engine::
628
629   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
630
631If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
632tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
633
634If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
635header is handled as a packet payload).
636
637.. note::
638
639   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
640
641Example:
642
643Consider a packet in packet like the following::
644
645   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
646
647* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
648  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
649  ``outer-ip parameter`` relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out``).
650
651* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
652   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

922
923port attach
924~~~~~~~~~~~
925
926Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args.
927
928To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
929Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
930Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
931
932For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
933
934.. code-block:: console
935
936   # Check the status of the available devices.
937   ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --status
938
939   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
940   ============================================
941   <none>
942
943   Network devices using kernel driver
944   ===================================
945   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
946
947
948   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
949   sudo ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
950
951
952   # Recheck the status of the devices.
953   ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --status
954   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
955   ============================================
956   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
957
958To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
959
960port attach (identifier)
961
962For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
963
964.. code-block:: console
965
966   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
967   Attaching a new port...
968   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
969   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
970   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
971   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
972   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
973   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
974   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
975   Done
976
977For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
978
979.. code-block:: console
980
981   testpmd> port attach eth_pcap0
982   Attaching a new port...
983   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for eth_pcap0
984   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
985   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
986   Done
987
988In this case, identifier is ``eth_pcap0``.
989This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
990
991For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
992the mode and slave parameters must be given.
993
994.. code-block:: console
995
996   testpmd> port attach eth_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
997   Attaching a new port...
998   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for eth_bond_0
999   EAL: Create bonded device eth_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1000   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1001   Done
1002
1003
1004port detach
1005~~~~~~~~~~~
1006
1007Detach a specific port.
1008
1009Before detaching a port, the port should be closed::
1010
1011   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1012
1013For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1014
1015.. code-block:: console
1016
1017   testpmd> port close 0
1018   Closing ports...
1019   Done
1020
1021   testpmd> port detach 0
1022   Detaching a port...
1023   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1024   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1025   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1026   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1027   Done
1028
1029
1030For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1031
1032.. code-block:: console
1033
1034   testpmd> port close 0
1035   Closing ports...
1036   Done
1037
1038   testpmd> port detach 0
1039   Detaching a port...
1040   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1041   Port 'eth_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1042   Done
1043
1044To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1045Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1046Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1047
1048For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1049
1050.. code-block:: console
1051
1052   sudo ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1053
1054   ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --status
1055

1203
1204   testpmd> port config all rss (all|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|none)
1205
1206RSS is on by default.
1207
1208The ``none`` option is equivalent to the ``--disable-rss`` command-line option.
1209
1210port config - RSS Reta
1211~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1212
1213Set the RSS (Receive Side Scaling) redirection table::
1214
1215   testpmd> port config all rss reta (hash,queue)[,(hash,queue)]
1216
1217port config - DCB
1218~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1219
1220Set the DCB mode for an individual port::
1221
1222   testpmd> port config (port_id) dcb vt (on|off) (traffic_class) pfc (on|off)
1223
1224The traffic class should be 4 or 8.
1225
1226port config - Burst
1227~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1228
1229Set the number of packets per burst::
1230
1231   testpmd> port config all burst (value)
1232
1233This is equivalent to the ``--burst`` command-line option.
1234
1235port config - Threshold
1236~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1237
1238Set thresholds for TX/RX queues::
1239

1241
1242Where the threshold type can be:
1243
1244* ``txpt:`` Set the prefetch threshold register of the TX rings, 0 <= value <= 255.
1245
1246* ``txht:`` Set the host threshold register of the TX rings, 0 <= value <= 255.

1265Link Bonding Functions
1266----------------------
1267
1268The Link Bonding functions make it possible to dynamically create and
1269manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.
1270
1271create bonded device
1272~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1273
1274Create a new bonding device::
1275
1276   testpmd> create bonded device (mode) (socket)
1277
1278For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0::
1279
1280   testpmd> create bonded 1 0
1281   created new bonded device (port X)
1282
1283add bonding slave
1284~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1285
1286Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
1287
1288   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1289
1290For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1291
1292   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
1293
1294
1295remove bonding slave
1296~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1297
1298Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
1299
1300   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1301
1302For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1303
1304   testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
1305
1306set bonding mode
1307~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1308
1309Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device::
1310
1311   testpmd> set bonding mode (value) (port id)
1312
1313For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3)::
1314
1315   testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
1316
1317set bonding primary
1318~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1319
1320Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device::
1321
1322   testpmd> set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
1323
1324For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1325
1326   testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10
1327
1328set bonding mac

1331Set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device::
1332
1333   testpmd> set bonding mac (port id) (mac)
1334
1335For example, to set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to 00:00:00:00:00:01::
1336
1337   testpmd> set bonding mac 10 00:00:00:00:00:01
1338
1339set bonding xmit_balance_policy
1340~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1341
1342Set the transmission policy for a Link Bonding device when it is in Balance XOR mode::
1343
1344   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)
1345
1346For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
1347
1348   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy 10 l34
1349
1350
1351set bonding mon_period
1352~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1353
1354Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding device.
1355
1356This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
1357When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
1358link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
1359
1360   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
1361
1362For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::
1363
1364   testpmd> set bonding mon_period 5 150
1365
1366

1376in balance mode with a transmission policy of layer 2+3::
1377
1378   testpmd> show bonding config 9
1379        Bonding mode: 2
1380        Balance Xmit Policy: BALANCE_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER23
1381        Slaves (3): [1 3 4]
1382        Active Slaves (3): [1 3 4]
1383        Primary: [3]

1638.. _testpmd_flow_director:
1639
1640flow_director_filter
1641~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1642
1643The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
1644
1645Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
1646Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
1647
1648* Perfect match filters.
1649  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
1650  The masked fields are for IP flow.
1651
1652* Signature filters.
1653  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
1654
1655* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
1656  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
1657  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
1658
1659* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
1660  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
1661  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
1662
1663The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
1664per flow type and the flexible payload.
1665
1666The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
1667are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
1668
1669Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.
