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.

2893Congestion Management
2894---------------------
2895
2896Get capabilities
2897~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2898

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.

3257
3258``flow template_table destroy`` destroys one or more template tables
3259from their table ID (as returned by ``flow template_table create``),
3260this command calls ``rte_flow_template_table_destroy()`` as many
3261times as necessary::
3262
3263   flow template_table {port_id} destroy table {id} [...]
3264
3265If successful, it will show::
3266
3267   Template table #[...] destroyed
3268

3320
3321   Hash results 0x[...]
3322
3323Otherwise, it will show an error message of the form::
3324
3325   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3326
3327This command uses the same pattern items as ``flow create``,
3328their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3329
3330Simulate encap hash calculation
3331~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3332
3333``flow hash {port_id} encap`` adds hash query, that returns the hash value
3334that the HW will calculate when encapsulating a packet::

3346   Failed to calculate encap hash - [...]
3347
3348Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3349~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3350
3351``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3352
3353   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3354
3355If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::

3357   port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3358
3359Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3360
3361Destroying tunnel offload stub

3375Validating flow rules
3376~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3377
3378``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3379underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3380bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3381
3382   flow validate {port_id}
3383      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3384      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3385      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3386
3387If successful, it will show::
3388
3389   Flow rule validated
3390
3391Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3392
3393   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3394
3395This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3396described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3397
3398Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3399index 6 is supported::
3400
3401   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3402      actions queue index 6 / end
3403   Flow rule validated

3407
3408   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3409      actions drop / end
3410   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3411   testpmd>
3412
3413Creating flow rules
3414~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3415
3416``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3417to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3418
3419   flow create {port_id}
3420      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3421      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3422      [user_id {user_id}] pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3423      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3424
3425If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3426
3427   Flow rule #[...] created
3428
3429Or if ``user_id`` is provided::
3430
3431   Flow rule #[...] created, user-id [...]
3432
3433Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3434
3435   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3436
3437Parameters describe in the following order:
3438
3439- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3440- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3441- User identifier for the flow.
3442- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3443  *end* pattern item.
3444- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3445  action.
3446
3447These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3448underlying functions.
3449
3450The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3451
3452   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3453
3454Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3455one.
3456
3457**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3458
3459Enqueueing creation of flow rules
3460~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3461
3462``flow queue create`` adds creation operation of a flow rule to a queue.
3463It is bound to ``rte_flow_async_create()``::
3464
3465   flow queue {port_id} create {queue_id}
3466       [postpone {boolean}] template_table {table_id}
3467       pattern_template {pattern_template_index}
3468       actions_template {actions_template_index}
3469       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3470       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3471
3472If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3473
3474   Flow rule #[...] creaion enqueued
3475
3476Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3477
3478   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3479
3480This command uses the same pattern items and actions as ``flow create``,
3481their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3482
3483``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
3484
3485Attributes
3486^^^^^^^^^^
3487
3488These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3489specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3490
3491- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3492- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3493- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3494- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3495- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3496
3497Please note that use of ``transfer`` attribute requires that the flow and
3498its indirect components be managed via so-called ``transfer`` proxy port.
3499See `show flow transfer proxy port ID for the given port`_ for details.
3500
3501Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3502value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3503
3504   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3505
3506Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3507
3508While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3509simultaneously.
3510
3511Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3512
3513   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3514
3515Tunnel offload
3516^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3517
3518Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3519
3520- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3521- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunnel offload match type.
3522
3523Matching pattern
3524^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3525
3526A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3527items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3528
3529Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3530rte_flow_item_type``).
3531
3532The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3533below::
3534
3535   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3536
3537Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3538layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3539unlikely to match any packet::
3540
3541   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3542
3543More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3544documentation.
3545
3546Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3547``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3548
3549   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3550      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3551
3552This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3553
3554In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3555``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3556in a similar fashion.
3557
3558The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3559and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3560accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3561
3562- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3563- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3564- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3565- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3566- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3567
3568These yield identical results::
3569
3570   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3571
3572::
3573
3574   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3575
3576::
3577
3578   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3579
3580::
3581
3582   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3583
3584::
3585
3586   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3587
3588Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3589
3590   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3591
3592Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3593
3594   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3595      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3596
3597Properties can be modified multiple times::
3598
3599   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3600
3601::
3602
3603   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

3899Actions list
3900^^^^^^^^^^^^
3901
3902A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3903`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3904terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3905
3906Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3907rte_flow_action_type``).
3908
3909Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3910
3911   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3912      actions drop / end
3913
3914Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3915there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3916queue index.
3917
3918This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3919
3920   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3921      actions queue index 6 / end
3922
3923While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3924
3925   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3926      actions queue / end
3927
3928As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3929rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3930
3931   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3932
3933::
3934
3935   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3936
3937All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3938action of a given type is taken into account::
3939
3940   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3941
3942::
3943
3944   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3945
3946::
3947
3948   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3949
3950Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3951actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3952
3953   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3954
3955::
3956
3957   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3958
3959::
3960
3961   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3962
3963Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4212Destroying flow rules
4213~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4214
4215``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4216by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4217times as necessary::
4218
4219   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...] [user_id]
4220
4221If successful, it will show::
4222
4223   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4224
4225Or if ``user_id`` flag is provided::
4226
4227   Flow rule #[...] destroyed, user-id [...]
4228
4229Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4230is the one provided by the user at creation.
4231It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4232message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4233
4234   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4235
4236``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4237arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4238
4239   flow flush {port_id}
4240
4241Any errors are reported as above.
4242
4243Creating several rules and destroying them::
4244
4245   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4246      actions queue index 2 / end
4247   Flow rule #0 created
4248   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4249      actions queue index 3 / end
4250   Flow rule #1 created
4251   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4252   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4253   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4254   testpmd>
4255
4256The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4257
4258   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4259      actions queue index 2 / end
4260   Flow rule #0 created
4261   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4262      actions queue index 3 / end
4263   Flow rule #1 created
4264   testpmd> flow flush 0
4265   testpmd>
4266
4267Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4268
4269   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4270      actions queue index 2 / end
4271   Flow rule #0 created
4272   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4273      actions queue index 3 / end
4274   Flow rule #1 created
4275   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4276   testpmd>
4277   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4278   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4279   testpmd>
4280
4281Enqueueing destruction of flow rules
4282~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4283
4284``flow queue destroy`` adds destruction operations to destroy one or more rules
4285from their rule ID (as returned by ``flow queue create``) to a queue,
4286this command calls ``rte_flow_async_destroy()`` as many times as necessary::
4287
4288   flow queue {port_id} destroy {queue_id}
4289        [postpone {boolean}] rule {rule_id} [...]
4290
4291If successful, it will show::
4292
4293   Flow rule #[...] destruction enqueued
4294
4295It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4296message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4297
4298   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4299
4300``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.

4305``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4306ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4307command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4308
4309   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action} [user_id]
4310
4311Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4312is the one provided by the user at creation.
4313If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4314or the following message::
4315
4316   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4317
4318Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4319error occurred::
4320
4321   Flow rule #[...] not found
4322
4323::
4324
4325   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4326
4327Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4328number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4329output has the following format::
4330
4331   count:
4332    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4333    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4334    hits: [...] # number of packets
4335    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4336
4337Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4338
4339   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4340      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4341   Flow rule #4 created
4342   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4343   count:
4344    hits_set: 1
4345    bytes_set: 0
4346    hits: 386446
4347    bytes: 0

4349
4350Listing flow rules
4351~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4352
4353``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4354filtered by group identifiers::
4355
4356   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4357
4358This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4359exist::
4360
4361   Invalid port [...]
4362
4363Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4364flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4365configured on the device::
4366
4367   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4368   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4369
4370``Attr`` column flags:
4371
4372- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4373- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4374
4375Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4376
4377   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4378      actions queue index 6 / end
4379   Flow rule #0 created
4380   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4381      actions queue index 2 / end
4382   Flow rule #1 created
4383   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4384      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4385   Flow rule #2 created
4386   testpmd> flow list 0
4387   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4388   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4389   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4390   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4391   testpmd>
4392
4393Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4394
4395   testpmd> flow list 1
4396   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4397   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4398   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4399   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4400   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4401   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4402   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4403   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4404   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4405   testpmd>
4406
4407Output can be limited to specific groups::
4408
4409   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4410   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4411   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4412   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4413   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4414   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4415   testpmd>
4416
4417Toggling isolated mode
4418~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4419
4420``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4421must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4422is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4423resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4424
4425 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4426
4427If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4428
4429 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4430    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4431
4432Or::
4433
4434 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4435    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4436
4437Otherwise, in case of error::
4438
4439   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4440
4441Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4442ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4443first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4444
4445Enabling isolated mode::
4446
4447 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4448 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4449 testpmd>
4450
4451Disabling isolated mode::
4452
4453 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4454 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4455 testpmd>
4456
4457Dumping HW internal information
4458~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4459
4460``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4461all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4462
4463   flow dump {port_id} {output_file} [user_id]
4464
4465If successful, it will show::
4466
4467   Flow dump finished
4468
4469Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4470
4471   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4472
4473Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4474is the one provided by the user at creation.
4475
4476Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4477~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4478
4479``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4480and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD::
4481
4482   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4483
4484Listing current aged flow rules::
4485
4486   testpmd> flow aged 0
4487   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4488   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4489      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4490   Flow rule #0 created
4491   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4492      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4493   Flow rule #1 created
4494   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4495      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end

4498      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4499   Flow rule #3 created
4500
4501
4502Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4503information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4504those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4505will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4506
4507   testpmd> flow aged 0
4508   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4509   ID      Group   Prio    Attr

4535~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4536
4537``flow queue aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from
4538``rte_flow_get_q_aged_flows`` API, and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to
4539destroy those flow rules in PMD::
4540

4786
4787   flow queue {port_id} indirect_action {queue_id} query
4788      {indirect_action_id} [postpone {boolean}]
4789
4790If successful, it will show::
4791
4792   Indirect action #[...] query queued
4793
4794Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
4795
4796   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4797
4798``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.

4800Sample QinQ flow rules
4801~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4802
4803Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4804
4805   testpmd> port stop 0
4806   testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4807
4808The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4809
4810To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4811
4812   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4813   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4814   testpmd> port start 0
4815
4816Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4817
4818::
4819
4820   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4821       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4822   Flow rule #0 validated

5212
5213NIC-RX Sampling rule, the matched ingress packets and sent to the queue 1,
5214and 50% packets are duplicated and marked with 0x1234 and sent to queue 0.
5215
5216::
5217
5218 testpmd> set sample_actions 0 mark id  0x1234 / queue index 0 / end
5219 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress group 1 pattern eth / end actions
5220        sample ratio 2 index 0 / queue index 1 / end
5221
5222Match packets coming from a VM which is referred to by means of
5223its representor ethdev (port 1), mirror 50% of them to the
5224said representor (for bookkeeping) as well as encapsulate
5225all the packets and steer them to the physical port:
5226
5227::
5228
5229   testpmd> set sample_actions 0 port_representor ethdev_port_id 1 / end
5230
5231   testpmd> set vxlan ip-version ipv4 vni 4 udp-src 32 udp-dst 4789 ip-src 127.0.0.1

5383BPF Functions
5384--------------
5385
5386The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5387
5388bpf-load
5389~~~~~~~~
5390
5391Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5392
5393   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5394
5395The available load-flags are:
5396
5397* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5398
5399* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5400
5401* ``-``: none.
5402
5403.. note::
5404
5405   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5406
5407For example:
5408
5409.. code-block:: console
5410
5411   cd examples/bpf
5412   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5413
5414Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5415
5416.. code-block:: console
5417
5418   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5419
5420To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5421
5422.. code-block:: console
5423
5424   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5425
5426bpf-unload
5427~~~~~~~~~~
5428
5429Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5430
5431   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5432
5433For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5434
5435.. code-block:: console
5436
5437   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5438
5439Flex Item Functions
5440-------------------
5441
5442The following sections show functions that configure and create flex item object,
5443create flex pattern and use it in a flow rule.
5444The commands will use 20 bytes IPv4 header for examples:
5445
5446::
5447
5448   0                   1                   2                   3

5463Create flex item
5464~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5465
5466Flex item object is created by PMD according to a new header configuration. The
5467header configuration is compiled by the testpmd and stored in
5468``rte_flow_item_flex_conf`` type variable.
5469
5470::
5471
5472   # flow flex_item create <port> <flex id> <configuration file>
5473   testpmd> flow flex_item init 0 3 ipv4_flex_config.json
5474   port-0: created flex item #3
5475
5476Flex item configuration is kept in external JSON file.
5477It describes the following header elements:
5478
5479**New header length.**
5480
5481Specify whether the new header has fixed or variable length and the basic/minimal
5482header length value.
5483
5484If header length is not fixed, header location with a value that completes header
5485length calculation and scale/offset function must be added.
5486
5487Scale function depends on port hardware.
5488
5489**Next protocol.**
5490
5491Describes location in the new header that specify following network header type.
5492
5493**Flow match samples.**
5494
5495Describes locations in the new header that will be used in flow rules.
5496
5497Number of flow samples and sample maximal length depend of port hardware.
5498
5499**Input trigger.**
5500
5501Describes preceding network header configuration.
5502
5503**Output trigger.**
5504
5505Describes conditions that trigger transfer to following network header
5506
5507.. code-block:: json

5530Flex pattern and flow rules
5531~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5532
5533Flex pattern describe parts of network header that will trigger flex flow item hit in a flow rule.
5534Flex pattern directly related to flex item samples configuration.
5535Flex pattern can be shared between ports.
5536
5537**Flex pattern and flow rule to match IPv4 version and 20 bytes length**
5538
5539::
5540
5541   # set flex_pattern <pattern_id> is <hex bytes sequence>
5542   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 5 is 45FF
