33Testpmd Runtime Functions
34=========================
35
36Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
37it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
38configure the application, display statistics (including the extended NIC
39statistics aka xstats) , set the Flow Director and other tasks::
40
41   testpmd>
42
43The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
44Common bash command-line functions such as ``Ctrl+a`` and ``Ctrl+e`` to go to the start and end of the prompt line are supported
45as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
46
47There is also support for tab completion.
48If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
49
50.. code-block:: console
51
52   testpmd> show port <TAB>
53
54       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
55       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
56       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
57       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
58       ...
59
60
61.. note::
62
63   Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
64
65      testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
66               (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
67
68In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
69
70Help Functions
71--------------
72
73The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
74These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
75
76.. code-block:: console
77
78   testpmd> help
79
80       help control    : Start and stop forwarding.
81       help display    : Displaying port, stats and config information.
82       help config     : Configuration information.
83       help ports      : Configuring ports.
84       help registers  : Reading and setting port registers.
85       help filters    : Filters configuration help.
86       help all        : All of the above sections.
87
88
89Command File Functions
90----------------------
91
92To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
93practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
94
95* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
96  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
97  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
98
99.. code-block:: console
100
101   ./testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

119   testpmd>
120
121
122* At run-time additional commands can be loaded in bulk by invoking the ``load FILENAME``
123  command.
124
125.. code-block:: console
126
127   testpmd> load /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
128   Flow rule #0 created
129   Flow rule #1 created

133   Flow rule #499 created
134   Read all CLI commands from /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
135   testpmd>
136
137
138In all cases output from any included command will be displayed as standard output.
139Execution will continue until the end of the file is reached regardless of
140whether any errors occur.  The end user must examine the output to determine if
141any failures occurred.

262
263clear port
264~~~~~~~~~~
265
266Clear the port statistics for a given port or for all ports::
267
268   testpmd> clear port (info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap) (port_id|all)
269
270For example::
271
272   testpmd> clear port stats all
273
274show (rxq|txq)
275~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
276
277Display information for a given port's RX/TX queue::
278
279   testpmd> show (rxq|txq) info (port_id) (queue_id)
280
281show config
282~~~~~~~~~~~
283
284Displays the configuration of the application.
285The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
286
287   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|txpkts)
288
289The available information categories are:
290
291* ``rxtx``: RX/TX configuration items.
292
293* ``cores``: List of forwarding cores.
294
295* ``fwd``: Packet forwarding configuration.
296
297* ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
298
299For example:
300
301.. code-block:: console
302
303   testpmd> show config rxtx
304
305   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
306   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
307   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
308   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
309   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
310   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
311   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
312
313set fwd
314~~~~~~~
315
316Set the packet forwarding mode::
317
318   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
319                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho) (""|retry)
320
321``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
322
323The available information categories are:
324
325* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
326  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
327  This is the default mode.
328
329* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
330  Default application behaviour is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
331  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
332  'eth-peer-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
333
334* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
335  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
336
337* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
338  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
339
340* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
341
342* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
343
344* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
345
346* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
347
348* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
349
350Note: TX timestamping is only available in the "Full Featured" TX path. To force ``testpmd`` into this mode set ``--txqflags=0``.
351
352Example::
353
354   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
355
356   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
357
358
359read rxd
360~~~~~~~~
361
362Display an RX descriptor for a port RX queue::
363
364   testpmd> read rxd (port_id) (queue_id) (rxd_id)
365
366For example::
367
368   testpmd> read rxd 0 0 4
369        0x0000000B - 0x001D0180 / 0x0000000B - 0x001D0180

372~~~~~~~~
373
374Display a TX descriptor for a port TX queue::
375
376   testpmd> read txd (port_id) (queue_id) (txd_id)
377
378For example::
379
380   testpmd> read txd 0 0 4
381        0x00000001 - 0x24C3C440 / 0x000F0000 - 0x2330003C
382
383ddp get list
384~~~~~~~~~~~~
385
386Get loaded dynamic device personalization (DDP) package info list::
387
388   testpmd> ddp get list (port_id)
389
390ddp get info
391~~~~~~~~~~~~
392
393Display information about dynamic device personalization (DDP) profile::
394
395   testpmd> ddp get info (profile_patch)
396
397show vf stats
398~~~~~~~~~~~~~

411Configuration Functions
412-----------------------
413
414The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
415
416This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
417
418.. note::
419
420   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
421
422set default
423~~~~~~~~~~~
424
425Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
426
427   testpmd> set default
428
429set verbose
430~~~~~~~~~~~
431
432Set the debug verbosity level::
433
434   testpmd> set verbose (level)
435
436Currently the only available levels are 0 (silent except for error) and 1 (fully verbose).
437
438set nbport
439~~~~~~~~~~
440
441Set the number of ports used by the application:
442
443set nbport (num)
444
445This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
446
447set nbcore
448~~~~~~~~~~
449
450Set the number of cores used by the application::
451
452   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
453
454This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
455
456.. note::
457
458   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
459
460set coremask
461~~~~~~~~~~~~
462
463Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
464
465   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
466
467This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
468
469.. note::
470
471   The master lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
472
473set portmask
474~~~~~~~~~~~~
475
476Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
477
478   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
479
480This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
481
482set burst
483~~~~~~~~~
484
485Set number of packets per burst::
486
487   testpmd> set burst (num)
488
489This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
490
491When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
492
493   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
494
495set txpkts
496~~~~~~~~~~
497
498Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
499
500   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
501
502Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
503
504set txsplit
505~~~~~~~~~~~
506
507Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
508
509   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
510
511Where:
512
513* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
514
515* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
516  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
517  (see above).
518
519* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
520
521set corelist
522~~~~~~~~~~~~
523
524Set the list of forwarding cores::
525
526   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
527
528For example, to change the forwarding cores:
529
530.. code-block:: console
531
532   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
533   testpmd> show config fwd
534
535   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
536   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
537   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
538   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
539   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00

544
545set portlist
546~~~~~~~~~~~~
547
548Set the list of forwarding ports::
549
550   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)
551
552For example, to change the port forwarding:
553
554.. code-block:: console
555
556   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
557   testpmd> show config fwd

827
828Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
829transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
830
831   testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip) (hw|sw) (port_id)
832
833Where:
834
835* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
836
837* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
838  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
839  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
840
841.. note::
842
843   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
844
845csum parse-tunnel
846~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
847
848Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
849engine::
850
851   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
852
853If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
854tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
855
856If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
857header is handled as a packet payload).
858
859.. note::
860
861   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
862
863Example:
864
865Consider a packet in packet like the following::
866
867   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
868
869* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
870  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
871  ``outer-ip parameter`` relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out``).
872
873* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
874   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1279Port Functions
1280--------------
1281
1282The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1283
1284.. note::
1285
1286   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1287
1288port attach
1289~~~~~~~~~~~
1290
1291Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1292
1293   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1294
1295To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1296Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1297Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1298
1299For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1300
1301.. code-block:: console
1302
1303   # Check the status of the available devices.
1304   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1305
1306   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1307   ============================================
1308   <none>
1309
1310   Network devices using kernel driver
1311   ===================================
1312   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1313
1314
1315   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1316   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1317
1318
1319   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1320   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1321   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1322   ============================================
1323   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1324
1325To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1326
1327For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1328
1329.. code-block:: console
1330
1331   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1332   Attaching a new port...
1333   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1334   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1335   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1336   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1337   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1338   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1339   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1340   Done
1341
1342For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1343
1344.. code-block:: console
1345
1346   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1347   Attaching a new port...
1348   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1349   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1350   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1351   Done
1352
1353In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1354This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1355
1356For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1357the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1358
1359.. code-block:: console
1360
1361   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1362   Attaching a new port...
1363   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1364   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1365   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1366   Done
1367
1368
1369port detach
1370~~~~~~~~~~~
1371
1372Detach a specific port::
1373
1374   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1375
1376Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1377
1378For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1379
1380.. code-block:: console
1381
1382   testpmd> port stop 0
1383   Stopping ports...
1384   Done
1385   testpmd> port close 0
1386   Closing ports...
1387   Done
1388
1389   testpmd> port detach 0
1390   Detaching a port...
1391   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1392   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1393   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1394   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1395   Done
1396
1397
1398For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1399
1400.. code-block:: console
1401
1402   testpmd> port stop 0
1403   Stopping ports...
1404   Done
1405   testpmd> port close 0
1406   Closing ports...
1407   Done
1408
1409   testpmd> port detach 0
1410   Detaching a port...
1411   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1412   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1413   Done
1414
1415To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1416Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1417Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1418
1419For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1420
1421.. code-block:: console
1422
1423   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1424
1425   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

1672
1673create bonded device
1674~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1675
1676Create a new bonding device::
1677
1678   testpmd> create bonded device (mode) (socket)
1679
1680For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0::
1681

1683   created new bonded device (port X)
1684
1685add bonding slave
1686~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1687
1688Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
1689
1690   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1691
1692For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1693
1694   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
1695
1696
1697remove bonding slave
1698~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1699
1700Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
1701
1702   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1703
1704For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1705
1706   testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
1707
1708set bonding mode
1709~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1710
1711Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device::
1712
1713   testpmd> set bonding mode (value) (port id)
1714
1715For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3)::
1716
1717   testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
1718
1719set bonding primary
1720~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1721
1722Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device::
1723
1724   testpmd> set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
1725
1726For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1727
1728   testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10
1729

1745
1746   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)
1747
1748For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
1749
1750   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy 10 l34
1751
1752
1753set bonding mon_period
1754~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1755
1756Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding device.
1757
1758This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
1759When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support

1788Register Functions
1789------------------
1790
1791The Register Functions can be used to read from and write to registers on the network card referenced by a port number.
1792This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
1793Reference should be made to the appropriate datasheet for the network card for details on the register addresses
1794and fields that can be accessed.
1795
1796read reg
1797~~~~~~~~
1798
1799Display the value of a port register::
1800
1801   testpmd> read reg (port_id) (address)
1802
1803For example, to examine the Flow Director control register (FDIRCTL, 0x0000EE000) on an Intel 82599 10 GbE Controller::
1804
1805   testpmd> read reg 0 0xEE00
1806   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x4A060029 (1241907241)

2043.. _testpmd_flow_director:
2044
2045flow_director_filter
2046~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2047
2048The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
2049
2050Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
2051Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
2052
2053* Perfect match filters.
2054  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2055  The masked fields are for IP flow.
2056
2057* Signature filters.
2058  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
2059
2060* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
2061  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2062  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
2063
2064* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
2065  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2066  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
2067
2068The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
2069per flow type and the flexible payload.
2070
2071The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
2072are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
2073
2074Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

2290
2291Flow rules management
2292---------------------
2293
2294Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
2295``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
2296modes).
2297
2298Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
2299features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
2300not recommended.
2301
2302``flow`` syntax
2303~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2304
2305Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
2306of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
2307other commands, in particular:
2308
2309- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
2310  token, not that of the entire command.
2311
2312- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
2313  in the contextual help).
2314
2315The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
2316their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
2317following sections.
2318
2319- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
2320
2321   flow validate {port_id}
2322       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2323       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2324       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2325
2326- Create a flow rule::
2327
2328   flow create {port_id}
2329       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2330       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2331       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2332
2333- Destroy specific flow rules::
2334
2335   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
2336
2337- Destroy all flow rules::
2338
2339   flow flush {port_id}
2340
2341- Query an existing flow rule::
2342
2343   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
2344
2345- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
2346  identifiers::
2347
2348   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
2349
2350- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
2351
2352   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
2353
2354Validating flow rules
2355~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2356
2357``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
2358underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
2359bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
2360
2361   flow validate {port_id}
2362      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2363      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2364      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2365
2366If successful, it will show::
2367
2368   Flow rule validated
2369
2370Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
2371
2372   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2373
2374This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
2375described in `Creating flow rules`_.
2376
2377Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
2378index 6 is supported::
2379
2380   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
2381      actions queue index 6 / end
2382   Flow rule validated
2383   testpmd>
2384
2385Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
2386
2387   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
2388      actions drop / end
2389   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
2390   testpmd>
2391
2392Creating flow rules
2393~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2394
2395``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
2396to ``rte_flow_create()``::
2397
2398   flow create {port_id}
2399      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2400      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2401      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2402
2403If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
2404
2405   Flow rule #[...] created
2406
2407Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
2408
2409   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2410
2411Parameters describe in the following order:
2412
2413- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress* tokens).
2414- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
2415  *end* pattern item.
2416- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
2417  action.
2418
2419These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
2420underlying functions.
2421
2422The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
2423
2424   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
2425
2426Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
2427one.
2428
2429**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
2430
2431Attributes
2432^^^^^^^^^^
2433
2434These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
2435specified before the ``pattern`` token.
2436
2437- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
2438- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
2439- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
2440- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
2441
2442Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
2443value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
2444
2445   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
2446
2447Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
2448
2449While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
2450simultaneously.
2451
2452Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
2453
2454   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
2455
2456Matching pattern
2457^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2458
2459A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
2460items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
2461
2462Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
2463rte_flow_item_type``).
2464
2465The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
2466below::
2467
2468   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
2469
2470Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
2471layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
2472unlikely to match any packet::
2473
2474   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
2475
2476More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
2477documentation.
2478
2479Several items support additional specification structures, for example
2480``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
2481
2482   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
2483      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
2484
2485This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
2486
2487In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
2488``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
2489in a similar fashion.
2490
2491The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
2492and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
2493accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
2494
2495- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
2496- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
2497- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
2498- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
2499- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask from a prefix length.
2500
2501These yield identical results::
2502
2503   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
2504
2505::
2506
2507   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
2508
2509::
2510
2511   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
2512
2513::
2514
2515   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
2516
2517::
2518
2519   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
2520
2521Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
2522
2523   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
2524
2525Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
2526
2527   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
2528      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
2529
2530Properties can be modified multiple times::
2531
2532   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
2533
2534::
2535
2536   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
2537

2648Actions list
2649^^^^^^^^^^^^
2650
2651A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
2652`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
2653terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
2654
2655Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
2656rte_flow_action_type``).
2657
2658Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
2659
2660   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2661      actions drop / end
2662
2663Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
2664there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
2665queue index.
2666
2667This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
2668
2669   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2670      actions queue index 6 / end
2671
2672While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
2673
2674   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2675      actions queue / end
2676
2677As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
2678rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
2679
2680   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
2681
2682::
2683
2684   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
2685
2686All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
2687action of a given type is taken into account::
2688
2689   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
2690
2691::
2692
2693   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
2694
2695::
2696
2697   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
2698
2699Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
2700actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
2701
2702   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
2703
2704::
2705
2706   drop / dup index 6 / end # same as above
2707
2708::
2709
2710   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
2711
2712::
2713
2714   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
2715
2716Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
2717

2723- ``end``: end list of actions.
2724
2725- ``void``: no-op action.
2726

2728
2729- ``mark``: attach 32 bit value to packets.
2730
2731  - ``id {unsigned}``: 32 bit value to return with packets.
2732
2733- ``flag``: flag packets.
2734
2735- ``queue``: assign packets to a given queue index.
2736
2737  - ``index {unsigned}``: queue index to use.
2738
2739- ``drop``: drop packets (note: passthru has priority).
2740
2741- ``count``: enable counters for this rule.
2742
2743- ``dup``: duplicate packets to a given queue index.
2744

2754
2755  - ``original {boolean}``: use original VF ID if possible.
2756  - ``id {unsigned}``: VF ID to redirect packets to.
2757
2758Destroying flow rules
2759~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2760
2761``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
2762by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
2763times as necessary::
2764
2765   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
2766
2767If successful, it will show::
2768
2769   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
2770
2771It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
2772message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
2773
2774   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2775
2776``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
2777arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
2778
2779   flow flush {port_id}
2780
2781Any errors are reported as above.
2782
2783Creating several rules and destroying them::
2784
2785   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2786      actions queue index 2 / end
2787   Flow rule #0 created
2788   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2789      actions queue index 3 / end
2790   Flow rule #1 created
2791   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
2792   Flow rule #1 destroyed
2793   Flow rule #0 destroyed
2794   testpmd>
2795
2796The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
2797
2798   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2799      actions queue index 2 / end
2800   Flow rule #0 created
2801   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2802      actions queue index 3 / end
2803   Flow rule #1 created
2804   testpmd> flow flush 0
2805   testpmd>
2806
2807Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
2808
2809   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2810      actions queue index 2 / end
2811   Flow rule #0 created
2812   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2813      actions queue index 3 / end
2814   Flow rule #1 created
2815   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
2816   testpmd>
2817   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
2818   Flow rule #0 destroyed
2819   testpmd>
2820
2821Querying flow rules
2822~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2823
2824``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
2825ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
2826command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
2827
2828   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
2829
2830If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
2831or the following message::
2832
2833   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
2834
2835Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
2836error occurred::
2837
2838   Flow rule #[...] not found
2839
2840::
2841
2842   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2843
2844Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
2845number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
2846output has the following format::
2847
2848   count:
2849    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
2850    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
2851    hits: [...] # number of packets
2852    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
2853
2854Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
2855
2856   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
2857      actions queue index 6 / count / end
2858   Flow rule #4 created
2859   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
2860   count:
2861    hits_set: 1
2862    bytes_set: 0
2863    hits: 386446
2864    bytes: 0
2865   testpmd>
2866
2867Listing flow rules
2868~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2869
2870``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
2871filtered by group identifiers::
2872
2873   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
2874
2875This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
2876exist::
2877
2878   Invalid port [...]
2879
2880Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
2881flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
2882configured on the device::
2883
2884   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2885   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
2886
2887``Attr`` column flags:
2888
2889- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
2890- ``e`` for ``egress``.
2891
2892Creating several flow rules and listing them::
2893
2894   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2895      actions queue index 6 / end
2896   Flow rule #0 created
2897   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2898      actions queue index 2 / end
2899   Flow rule #1 created
2900   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2901      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
2902   Flow rule #2 created
2903   testpmd> flow list 0
2904   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2905   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
2906   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
2907   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
2908   testpmd>
2909
2910Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
2911
2912   testpmd> flow list 1
2913   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2914   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
2915   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
2916   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
2917   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
2918   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
2919   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
2920   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
2921   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
2922   testpmd>
2923
2924Output can be limited to specific groups::
2925
2926   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
2927   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2928   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
2929   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
2930   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
2931   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
2932   testpmd>
2933
2934Toggling isolated mode
2935~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2936
2937``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
2938must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
2939is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
2940resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
2941
2942 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
2943
2944If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
2945
2946 Ingress traffic on port [...]
2947    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
2948
2949Or::
2950
2951 Ingress traffic on port [...]
2952    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
2953
2954Otherwise, in case of error::
2955
2956   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2957
2958Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
2959ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
2960first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
2961
2962Enabling isolated mode::
2963
2964 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
2965 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
2966 testpmd>
2967
2968Disabling isolated mode::
2969
2970 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
2971 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
2972 testpmd>
2973
2974Sample QinQ flow rules
2975~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2976
2977Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
2978
2979   testpmd> port stop 0
2980   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
2981
2982The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
2983
2984To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
2985
2986   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
2987   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
2988   testpmd> port start 0
2989
2990Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
2991
2992::
2993
2994   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
2995       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
2996   Flow rule #0 validated
2997
2998   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
2999       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 123 / queue index 0 / end
3000   Flow rule #0 created
3001
3002   testpmd> flow list 0
3003   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3004   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
3005
3006Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
3007
3008::
3009
3010   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
3011        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end
3012   Flow rule #1 validated
3013
3014   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
3015        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 1 / end
3016   Flow rule #1 created
3017
3018   testpmd> flow list 0
3019   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3020   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
3021   1       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>PF QUEUE
3022
