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

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

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

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

307   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
308   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
309   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
310   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
311   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
312   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
313
314set fwd
315~~~~~~~
316
317Set the packet forwarding mode::
318
319   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
320                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap|shared-rxq|recycle_mbufs) (""|retry)
321
322``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
323
324The available information categories are:
325
326* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
327  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
328  This is the default mode.
329
330* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
331  Default application behavior is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
332  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
333  'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
334
335* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
336  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
337
338* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
339  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
340
341* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
342
343* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
344
345* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
346
347* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
348
349* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX.
350
351* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
352  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
353  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
354
355* ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
356
357  L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
358
359  L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
360
361  L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
362
363* ``shared-rxq``: Receive only for shared Rx queue.
364  Resolve packet source port from mbuf and update stream statistics accordingly.
365
366* ``recycle_mbufs``:  Recycle Tx queue used mbufs for Rx queue mbuf ring.
367  This mode uses fast path mbuf recycle feature and forwards packets in I/O mode.
368
369Example::
370
371   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
372
373   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
374
375
376show fwd
377~~~~~~~~
378
379When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.
380Example for the io forwarding engine, with some packet drops on the tx side::
381
382   testpmd> show fwd stats all
383
384     ------- Forward Stats for RX Port= 0/Queue= 0 -> TX Port= 1/Queue= 0 -------

650Configuration Functions
651-----------------------
652
653The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
654
655This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
656
657.. note::
658
659   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
660
661set default
662~~~~~~~~~~~
663
664Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
665
666   testpmd> set default
667
668set verbose
669~~~~~~~~~~~
670
671Set the debug verbosity level::
672
673   testpmd> set verbose (level)
674
675Available levels are as following:
676
677* ``0`` silent except for error.
678* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
679* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
680* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
681
682set log
683~~~~~~~
684
685Set the log level for a log type::
686
687	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
688
689Where:
690
691* ``type`` is the log name.
692
693* ``level`` is the log level.
694
695For example, to change the global log level::
696
697	testpmd> set log global (level)
698
699Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
700
701	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
702
703set nbport
704~~~~~~~~~~
705
706Set the number of ports used by the application:
707
708set nbport (num)
709
710This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
711
712set nbcore
713~~~~~~~~~~
714
715Set the number of cores used by the application::
716
717   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
718
719This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
720
721.. note::
722
723   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
724
725set coremask
726~~~~~~~~~~~~
727
728Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
729
730   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
731
732This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
733
734.. note::
735
736   The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
737
738set portmask
739~~~~~~~~~~~~
740
741Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
742
743   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
744
745This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
746
747set record-core-cycles
748~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
749
750Set the recording of CPU cycles::
751
752   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
753
754Where:
755
756* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
757
758* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
759
760This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
761
762set record-burst-stats
763~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
764
765Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
766
767   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
768
769Where:
770
771* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
772
773* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
774
775This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
776
777set burst
778~~~~~~~~~
779
780Set number of packets per burst::
781
782   testpmd> set burst (num)
783
784This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
785
786When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
787
788   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
789
790set rxoffs
791~~~~~~~~~~
792
793Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
794if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
795offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
796
797   testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
798
799Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
800of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
801for the remaining segments.
802
803set rxpkts
804~~~~~~~~~~
805
806Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
807feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
808(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
809pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
810to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
811mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
812from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
813mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
814
815   testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
816
817Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
818means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
819
820set rxhdrs
821~~~~~~~~~~
822
823Set the protocol headers of segments to scatter packets on receiving
824if split feature is engaged.
825Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
826(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
827
828   testpmd> set rxhdrs (eth[,ipv4]*)
829
830Where eth[,ipv4]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
831If the list of offsets is shorter than the list of segments,
832zero offsets will be used for the remaining segments.
833
834set txpkts
835~~~~~~~~~~
836
837Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
838
839   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
840
841Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
842
843set txtimes
844~~~~~~~~~~~
845
846Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
847the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
848timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
849application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
850to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
851and between the packets within the burst::
852
853   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
854
855where:
856
857* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
858  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
859  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
860  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
861  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
862  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
863  on timestamps is disabled (default).
864
865* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
866  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
867  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
868  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
869
870As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
871delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
872the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
873and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
874and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
875rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
876
877set txsplit
878~~~~~~~~~~~
879
880Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
881
882   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
883
884Where:
885
886* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
887
888* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
889  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
890  (see above).
891
892* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
893
894set corelist
895~~~~~~~~~~~~
896
897Set the list of forwarding cores::
898
899   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
900
901For example, to change the forwarding cores:
902
903.. code-block:: console
904
905   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
906   testpmd> show config fwd
907
908   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
909   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
910   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
911   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
912   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
913
914.. note::

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

1090Disable hardware insertion of a VLAN header in packets sent on a port::
1091
1092   testpmd> tx_vlan reset (port_id)
1093
1094csum set
1095~~~~~~~~
1096
1097Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
1098transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1099
1100   testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip|outer-udp) (hw|sw) (port_id)
1101
1102Where:
1103
1104* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
1105
1106* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
1107  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gre, gtp, ipip, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1108  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1109
1110* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
1111  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gtp, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1112  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1113
1114.. note::
1115
1116   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
1117
1118csum parse-tunnel
1119~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1120
1121Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1122engine::
1123
1124   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1125
1126If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1127tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1128
1129If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1130header is handled as a packet payload).
1131
1132.. note::
1133
1134   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1135
1136Example:
1137
1138Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1139
1140   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1141
1142* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1143  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1144  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1145
1146* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1147   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1187
1188set port - gro
1189~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1190
1191Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1192
1193   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1194
1195If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1196packets received from the given port.
1197
1198If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1199GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1200
1201.. note::
1202
1203   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1204   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1205   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1206   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1207   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1208   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1209   transmitted to.
1210
1211show port - gro
1212~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1213
1214Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1215
1216   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1217
1218set gro flush
1219~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1220
1221Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1222
1223   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1224
1225When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1226packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1227can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1228from the reassembly tables.
1229
1230The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1231engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1232operations.
1233
1234By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1235from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1236of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1237
1238Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1239stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1240stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1241
1242set port - gso
1243~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1244
1245Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1246
1247   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1248
1249If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1250packets, transmitted on the given port.
1251
1252If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1253By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1254
1255.. note::
1256
1257   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1258   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1259   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1260   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1261   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1262   GSO-enabled ports.
1263
1264   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1265   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1266
1267   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1268
1269   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1270
1271   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1272
1273   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1274   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1275   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1276   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1277   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1278   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1279
1280set gso segsz
1281~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1282
1283Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the

1660 ip-dst (ip-dst) eth-src (eth-src) eth-dst (eth-dst)
1661
1662These commands will set an internal configuration inside testpmd, any following
1663flow rule using the action vxlan_encap will use the last configuration set.
1664To have a different encapsulation header, one of those commands must be called
1665before the flow rule creation.

1675        ip-dst (ip-dst) vlan-tci (vlan-tci) eth-src (eth-src) eth-dst (eth-dst)
1676
1677These commands will set an internal configuration inside testpmd, any following

1679To have a different encapsulation header, one of those commands must be called
1680before the flow rule creation.
1681

1689        eth-src (eth-src) eth-dst (eth-dst)
1690
1691Those commands will set an internal configuration inside testpmd, any following

1768Config Raw Encapsulation
1769~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1770
1771Configure the raw data to be used when encapsulating a packet by
1772rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1773
1774 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1775
1776There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1777internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1778If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1779
1780 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1781
1782the default index ``0`` is used.
1783In order to use different encapsulating header, ``index`` must be specified
1784during the flow rule creation::
1785
1786 testpmd> flow create 0 egress pattern eth / ipv4 / end actions
1787        raw_encap index 2 / end

1840Port Functions
1841--------------
1842
1843The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1844
1845.. note::
1846
1847   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1848
1849.. _port_attach:
1850
1851port attach
1852~~~~~~~~~~~
1853
1854Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1855
1856   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1857
1858To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1859Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1860Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1861
1862For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1863
1864.. code-block:: console
1865
1866   # Check the status of the available devices.
1867   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1868
1869   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1870   ============================================
1871   <none>
1872
1873   Network devices using kernel driver
1874   ===================================
1875   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1876
1877
1878   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1879   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1880
1881
1882   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1883   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1884   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1885   ============================================
1886   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1887
1888To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1889
1890For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1891
1892.. code-block:: console
1893
1894   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1895   Attaching a new port...
1896   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1897   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1898   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1899   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1900   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1901   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1902   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1903   Done
1904
1905For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1906
1907.. code-block:: console
1908
1909   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1910   Attaching a new port...
1911   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1912   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1913   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1914   Done
1915
1916In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1917This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1918
1919For example, to re-attach a bonding port which has been previously detached,
1920the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1921
1922.. code-block:: console
1923
1924   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1925   Attaching a new port...
1926   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1927   EAL: Create bonding device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1928   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1929   Done
1930
1931
1932port detach
1933~~~~~~~~~~~
1934
1935Detach a specific port::
1936
1937   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1938
1939Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1940
1941For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1942
1943.. code-block:: console
1944
1945   testpmd> port stop 0
1946   Stopping ports...
1947   Done
1948   testpmd> port close 0
1949   Closing ports...
1950   Done
1951
1952   testpmd> port detach 0
1953   Detaching a port...
1954   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1955   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1956   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1957   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1958   Done
1959
1960
1961For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1962
1963.. code-block:: console
1964
1965   testpmd> port stop 0
1966   Stopping ports...
1967   Done
1968   testpmd> port close 0
1969   Closing ports...
1970   Done
1971
1972   testpmd> port detach 0
1973   Detaching a port...
1974   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1975   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1976   Done
1977
1978To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1979Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1980Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1981
1982For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1983
1984.. code-block:: console
1985
1986   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1987

2289device detach
2290~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2291
2292Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2293
2294   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2295
2296Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2297
2298For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2299
2300.. code-block:: console
2301
2302    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2303    Removing a device...
2304    Port 1 is now closed
2305    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2306    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2307    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2308    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2309    Now total ports is 1
2310
2311For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2312
2313.. code-block:: console
2314
2315    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2316    Removing a device...
2317    Port 0 is now closed
2318    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2319    Now total ports is 0
2320    Done
2321
2322In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2323This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.

2921
2922Filter Functions
2923----------------
2924
2925This section details the available filter functions that are available.
2926
2927Note these functions interface the deprecated legacy filtering framework,
2928superseded by *rte_flow*. See `Flow rules management`_.
2929
2930.. _testpmd_rte_flow:
2931
2932Flow rules management
2933---------------------
2934
2935Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
2936``flow`` command (configuration, validation, creation, destruction, queries
2937and operation modes).
2938
2939Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
2940features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
2941not recommended.
2942
2943``flow`` syntax
2944~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2945
2946Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
2947of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
2948other commands, in particular:
2949
2950- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
2951  token, not that of the entire command.
2952
2953- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
2954  in the contextual help).
2955
2956The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
2957their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
2958following sections.

3262
3263``flow template_table destroy`` destroys one or more template tables
3264from their table ID (as returned by ``flow template_table create``),
3265this command calls ``rte_flow_template_table_destroy()`` as many
3266times as necessary::
3267
3268   flow template_table {port_id} destroy table {id} [...]
3269

3326   Hash results 0x[...]
3327
3328Otherwise, it will show an error message of the form::
3329
3330   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3331
3332This command uses the same pattern items as ``flow create``,
3333their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3334
3335Simulate encap hash calculation
3336~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3337
3338``flow hash {port_id} encap`` adds hash query, that returns the hash value

3352
3353Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3354~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3355
3356``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3357
3358   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3359
3360If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::

3380Validating flow rules
3381~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3382
3383``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3384underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3385bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3386
3387   flow validate {port_id}
3388      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3389      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end

3394   Flow rule validated
3395
3396Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3397
3398   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3399
3400This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3401described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3402
3403Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3404index 6 is supported::
3405
3406   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3407      actions queue index 6 / end
3408   Flow rule validated

3412
3413   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3414      actions drop / end
3415   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3416   testpmd>
3417
3418Creating flow rules
3419~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3420
3421``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3422to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3423
3424   flow create {port_id}
3425      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3426      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3427      [user_id {user_id}] pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3428      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3429
3430If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3431
3432   Flow rule #[...] created
3433
3434Or if ``user_id`` is provided::
3435
3436   Flow rule #[...] created, user-id [...]
3437
3438Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3439
3440   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3441
3442Parameters describe in the following order:
3443
3444- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3445- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3446- User identifier for the flow.
3447- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3448  *end* pattern item.
3449- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3450  action.
3451
3452These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3453underlying functions.
3454
3455The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3456
3457   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3458
3459Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3460one.
3461
3462**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3463
3464Enqueueing creation of flow rules
3465~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3466
3467``flow queue create`` adds creation operation of a flow rule to a queue.
3468It is bound to ``rte_flow_async_create()``::
3469
3470   flow queue {port_id} create {queue_id}
3471       [postpone {boolean}] template_table {table_id}
3472       pattern_template {pattern_template_index}
3473       actions_template {actions_template_index}
3474       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3475       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3476
3477If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3478
3479   Flow rule #[...] creaion enqueued
3480
3481Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3482
3483   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3484
3485This command uses the same pattern items and actions as ``flow create``,
3486their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3487
3488``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
3489
3490Attributes
3491^^^^^^^^^^
3492
3493These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3494specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3495
3496- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3497- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3498- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3499- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3500- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3501
3502Please note that use of ``transfer`` attribute requires that the flow and
3503its indirect components be managed via so-called ``transfer`` proxy port.
3504See `show flow transfer proxy port ID for the given port`_ for details.
3505
3506Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3507value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3508
3509   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3510
3511Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3512
3513While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3514simultaneously.
3515
3516Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3517
3518   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3519
3520Tunnel offload
3521^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3522
3523Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3524
3525- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3526- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunnel offload match type.
3527
3528Matching pattern
3529^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3530
3531A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3532items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3533
3534Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3535rte_flow_item_type``).
3536
3537The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3538below::
3539
3540   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3541
3542Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3543layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3544unlikely to match any packet::
3545
3546   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3547
3548More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3549documentation.
3550
3551Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3552``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3553
3554   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3555      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3556
3557This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3558
3559In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3560``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3561in a similar fashion.
3562
3563The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3564and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3565accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3566
3567- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3568- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3569- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3570- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3571- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3572
3573These yield identical results::
3574
3575   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3576
3577::
3578
3579   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3580
3581::
3582
3583   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3584
3585::
3586
3587   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3588
3589::
3590
3591   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3592
3593Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3594
3595   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3596
3597Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3598
3599   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3600      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3601
3602Properties can be modified multiple times::
3603
3604   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3605
3606::
3607
3608   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3609

3904Actions list
3905^^^^^^^^^^^^
3906
3907A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3908`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3909terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3910
3911Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3912rte_flow_action_type``).
3913
3914Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3915
3916   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3917      actions drop / end
3918
3919Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3920there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3921queue index.
3922
3923This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3924
3925   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3926      actions queue index 6 / end
3927
3928While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3929
3930   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3931      actions queue / end
3932
3933As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3934rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3935
3936   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3937
3938::
3939
3940   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3941
3942All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3943action of a given type is taken into account::
3944
3945   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3946
3947::
3948
3949   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3950
3951::
3952
3953   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3954
3955Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3956actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3957
3958   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3959
3960::
3961
3962   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3963
3964::
3965
3966   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3967
3968Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4217Destroying flow rules
4218~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4219
4220``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4221by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4222times as necessary::
4223
4224   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...] [user_id]
4225
4226If successful, it will show::
4227
4228   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4229
4230Or if ``user_id`` flag is provided::
4231
4232   Flow rule #[...] destroyed, user-id [...]
4233
4234Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4235is the one provided by the user at creation.
4236It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4237message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4238
4239   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4240
4241``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4242arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4243
4244   flow flush {port_id}
4245
4246Any errors are reported as above.
4247
4248Creating several rules and destroying them::
4249
4250   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4251      actions queue index 2 / end
4252   Flow rule #0 created
4253   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4254      actions queue index 3 / end
4255   Flow rule #1 created
4256   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4257   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4258   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4259   testpmd>
4260
4261The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4262
4263   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4264      actions queue index 2 / end
4265   Flow rule #0 created
4266   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4267      actions queue index 3 / end
4268   Flow rule #1 created
4269   testpmd> flow flush 0
4270   testpmd>
4271
4272Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4273
4274   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4275      actions queue index 2 / end
4276   Flow rule #0 created
4277   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4278      actions queue index 3 / end
4279   Flow rule #1 created
4280   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4281   testpmd>
4282   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4283   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4284   testpmd>
4285
4286Updating flow rules with new actions
4287~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4288
4289``flow update`` updates a flow rule specified by a rule ID with a new action
4290list by making a call to ``rte_flow_actions_update()``::
4291
4292   flow update {port_id} {rule_id}
4293       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end [user_id]
4294
4295If successful, it will show::
4296
4297   Flow rule #[...] updated with new actions
4298
4299Or if ``user_id`` flag is provided::
4300
4301   Flow rule #[...] updated with new actions, user-id [...]
4302
4303If a flow rule can not be found::
4304
4305   Failed to find flow [...]
4306
4307Otherwise it will show the usual error message of the form::
4308
4309   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4310
4311Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID is the one provided
4312by the user at creation.
4313
4314Action list is identical to the one described for the ``flow create``.
4315
4316Creating, updating and destroying a flow rule::
4317
4318   testpmd> flow create 0 group 1 pattern eth / end actions drop / end
4319   Flow rule #0 created
4320   testpmd> flow update 0 0 actions queue index 1 / end
4321   Flow rule #0 updated with new actions
4322   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4323   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4324
4325Enqueueing destruction of flow rules
4326~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4327
4328``flow queue destroy`` adds destruction operations to destroy one or more rules
4329from their rule ID (as returned by ``flow queue create``) to a queue,
4330this command calls ``rte_flow_async_destroy()`` as many times as necessary::
4331
4332   flow queue {port_id} destroy {queue_id}
4333        [postpone {boolean}] rule {rule_id} [...]
4334
4335If successful, it will show::
4336
4337   Flow rule #[...] destruction enqueued
4338
4339It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4340message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4341
4342   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4343
4344``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
4345
4346Querying flow rules
4347~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4348
4349``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4350ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4351command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4352
4353   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action} [user_id]
4354
4355Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4356is the one provided by the user at creation.
4357If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4358or the following message::
4359
4360   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4361
4362Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4363error occurred::
4364
4365   Flow rule #[...] not found
4366
4367::
4368
4369   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4370
4371Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4372number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4373output has the following format::
4374
4375   count:
4376    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4377    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4378    hits: [...] # number of packets
4379    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4380
4381Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4382
4383   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4384      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4385   Flow rule #4 created
4386   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4387   count:
4388    hits_set: 1
4389    bytes_set: 0
4390    hits: 386446
4391    bytes: 0
4392   testpmd>
4393
4394Listing flow rules
4395~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4396
4397``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4398filtered by group identifiers::
4399
4400   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4401
4402This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4403exist::
4404
4405   Invalid port [...]
4406
4407Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4408flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4409configured on the device::
4410
4411   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4412   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4413
4414``Attr`` column flags:
4415
4416- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4417- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4418
4419Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4420
4421   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4422      actions queue index 6 / end
4423   Flow rule #0 created
4424   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4425      actions queue index 2 / end
4426   Flow rule #1 created
4427   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4428      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4429   Flow rule #2 created
4430   testpmd> flow list 0
4431   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4432   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4433   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4434   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4435   testpmd>
4436
4437Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4438
4439   testpmd> flow list 1
4440   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4441   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4442   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4443   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4444   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4445   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4446   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4447   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4448   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4449   testpmd>
4450
4451Output can be limited to specific groups::
4452
4453   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4454   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4455   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4456   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4457   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4458   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4459   testpmd>
4460
4461Toggling isolated mode
4462~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4463
4464``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4465must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4466is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4467resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4468
4469 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4470
4471If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4472
4473 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4474    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4475
4476Or::
4477
4478 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4479    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4480
4481Otherwise, in case of error::
4482
4483   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4484
4485Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4486ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4487first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4488
4489Enabling isolated mode::
4490
4491 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4492 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4493 testpmd>
4494
4495Disabling isolated mode::
4496
4497 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4498 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4499 testpmd>
4500
4501Dumping HW internal information
4502~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4503
4504``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4505all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4506
4507   flow dump {port_id} {output_file} [user_id]
4508
4509If successful, it will show::
4510
4511   Flow dump finished
4512
4513Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4514
4515   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4516
4517Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4518is the one provided by the user at creation.
4519
4520Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4521~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4522
4523``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4524and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD::
4525
4526   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4527
4528Listing current aged flow rules::
4529
4530   testpmd> flow aged 0
4531   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4532   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4533      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4534   Flow rule #0 created
4535   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4536      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4537   Flow rule #1 created
4538   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4539      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4540   Flow rule #2 created
4541   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4542      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4543   Flow rule #3 created
4544
4545
4546Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4547information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4548those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4549will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4550
4551   testpmd> flow aged 0
4552   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4553   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4554   2       0       0       i--

4557   0       0       0       i--
4558
4559If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules::
4560
4561   testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
4562   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4563   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4564   2       0       0       i--
4565   3       0       0       i--
4566   1       0       0       i--
4567   0       0       0       i--
4568
4569   Flow rule #2 destroyed
4570   Flow rule #3 destroyed
4571   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4572   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4573   4 flows be destroyed
4574   testpmd> flow aged 0
4575   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4576
4577
4578Enqueueing listing and destroying aged flow rules
4579~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4580
4581``flow queue aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from
4582``rte_flow_get_q_aged_flows`` API, and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to
4583destroy those flow rules in PMD::
4584
4585   flow queue {port_id} aged {queue_id} [destroy]
4586
4587Listing current aged flow rules::
4588
4589   testpmd> flow queue 0 aged 0
4590   Port 0 queue 0 total aged flows: 0
4591   testpmd> flow queue 0 create 0 ingress tanle 0 item_template 0 action_template 0
4592      pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4593      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4594   Flow rule #0 creation enqueued
4595   testpmd> flow queue 0 create 0 ingress tanle 0 item_template 0 action_template 0
4596      pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4597      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end

4606   Flow rule #3 creation enqueued
4607   testpmd> flow pull 0 queue 0
4608   Queue #0 pulled 4 operations (0 failed, 4 succeeded)
4609
4610Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow queue {port_id} list {queue_id}``,
4611but strip the detail rule information, all the aged flows are sorted by the
4612longest timeout time. For example, if those rules is configured in the same time,
4613ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4614
4615   testpmd> flow queue 0 aged 0

4622
4623   0 flows destroyed
4624
4625If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules::

4644
4645   The queue must be empty before attaching ``destroy`` parameter.
4646
4647
4648Creating indirect actions
4649~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4650
4651``flow indirect_action {port_id} create`` creates indirect action with optional
4652indirect action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_create()``::

4655      [ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
4656
4657If successful, it will show::
4658
4659   Indirect action #[...] created
4660
4661Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action already exists or that
4662some error occurred::
4663
4664   Indirect action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4665
4666::
4667
4668   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4669
4670Create indirect rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::

4692
4693If successful, it will show::
4694
4695   Indirect action #[...] creation queued
4696
4697Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
4698
4699   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4700
4701This command uses the same parameters as  ``flow indirect_action create``,
4702described in `Creating indirect actions`_.
4703
4704``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
4705
4706Updating indirect actions
4707~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4708
4709``flow indirect_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the indirect
4710action from its indirect action ID (as returned by

4716
4717If successful, it will show::
4718
4719   Indirect action #[...] updated
4720
4721Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4722error occurred::

4730Update indirect rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4731(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4732
4733   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4734
4735Enqueueing update of indirect actions
4736~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4737
4738``flow queue indirect_action update`` adds update operation for an indirect
4739action to a queue. It is bound to ``rte_flow_async_action_handle_update()``::
4740
4741   flow queue {port_id} indirect_action {queue_id} update
4742      {indirect_action_id} [postpone {boolean}] action {action} / end
4743
4744If successful, it will show::
4745
4746   Indirect action #[...] update queued
4747
4748Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
4749
4750   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4751
4752``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
4753
4754Destroying indirect actions
4755~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4756
4757``flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy`` destroys one or more indirect actions
4758from their indirect action IDs (as returned by
4759``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4760``rte_flow_action_handle_destroy()``::
4761
4762   flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy action_id {indirect_action_id} [...]
4763
4764If successful, it will show::
4765
4766   Indirect action #[...] destroyed
4767
4768It does not report anything for indirect action IDs that do not exist.
4769The usual error message is shown when a indirect action cannot be destroyed::
4770
4771   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4772
4773Destroy indirect actions having id 100 & 101::
4774
4775   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4776
4777Enqueueing destruction of indirect actions
4778~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4779
4780``flow queue indirect_action destroy`` adds destruction operation to destroy
4781one or more indirect actions from their indirect action IDs (as returned by
4782``flow queue {port_id} indirect_action {queue_id} create``) to a queue.
4783It is bound to ``rte_flow_async_action_handle_destroy()``::
4784
4785   flow queue {port_id} indirect_action {queue_id} destroy
4786      [postpone {boolean}] action_id {indirect_action_id} [...]
4787
4788If successful, it will show::
4789
4790   Indirect action #[...] destruction queued
4791
4792Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
4793
4794   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4795
4796``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
4797
4798Query indirect actions
4799~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4800
4801``flow indirect_action {port_id} query`` queries the indirect action from its
4802indirect action ID (as returned by ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``).
4803It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_query()``::
4804
4805  flow indirect_action {port_id} query {indirect_action_id}
4806
4807Currently only rss indirect action supported. If successful, it will show::
4808
4809   Indirect RSS action:
4810      refs:[...]
4811
4812Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4813error occurred::
4814
4815   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4816
4817::
4818
4819   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4820

4825Enqueueing query of indirect actions
4826~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4827
4828``flow queue indirect_action query`` adds query operation for an indirect
4829action to a queue. It is bound to ``rte_flow_async_action_handle_query()``::
4830
4831   flow queue {port_id} indirect_action {queue_id} query
4832      {indirect_action_id} [postpone {boolean}]
4833
4834If successful, it will show::
4835
4836   Indirect action #[...] query queued
4837
4838Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
4839
4840   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4841
4842``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
4843
4844Sample QinQ flow rules
4845~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4846
4847Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4848
4849   testpmd> port stop 0
4850   testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4851
4852The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4853
4854To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4855
4856   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4857   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4858   testpmd> port start 0
4859
4860Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4861
4862::
4863
4864   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4865       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end

5427BPF Functions
5428--------------
5429
5430The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5431
5432bpf-load
5433~~~~~~~~
5434
5435Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5436
5437   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5438
5439The available load-flags are:
5440
5441* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5442
5443* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5444
5445* ``-``: none.
5446
5447.. note::
5448
5449   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5450
5451For example:
5452
5453.. code-block:: console
5454
5455   cd examples/bpf
5456   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5457
5458Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5459
5460.. code-block:: console
5461
5462   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5463
5464To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5465
5466.. code-block:: console
5467
5468   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5469
5470bpf-unload
5471~~~~~~~~~~
5472
5473Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5474
5475   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5476
5477For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5478
5479.. code-block:: console
5480
5481   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5482
5483Flex Item Functions
5484-------------------
5485
5486The following sections show functions that configure and create flex item object,
5487create flex pattern and use it in a flow rule.
5488The commands will use 20 bytes IPv4 header for examples:
5489
5490::
5491
5492   0                   1                   2                   3

5507Create flex item
5508~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5509
5510Flex item object is created by PMD according to a new header configuration. The
5511header configuration is compiled by the testpmd and stored in
5512``rte_flow_item_flex_conf`` type variable.
5513
5514::
5515
5516   # flow flex_item create <port> <flex id> <configuration file>
5517   testpmd> flow flex_item init 0 3 ipv4_flex_config.json
5518   port-0: created flex item #3
5519
5520Flex item configuration is kept in external JSON file.
5521It describes the following header elements:
5522
5523**New header length.**
5524
5525Specify whether the new header has fixed or variable length and the basic/minimal
5526header length value.
5527
5528If header length is not fixed, header location with a value that completes header
5529length calculation and scale/offset function must be added.
5530
5531Scale function depends on port hardware.
5532
5533**Next protocol.**
5534
5535Describes location in the new header that specify following network header type.
5536
5537**Flow match samples.**
5538
5539Describes locations in the new header that will be used in flow rules.
5540
5541Number of flow samples and sample maximal length depend of port hardware.
5542
5543**Input trigger.**
5544
5545Describes preceding network header configuration.
5546
5547**Output trigger.**
5548
5549Describes conditions that trigger transfer to following network header
5550
