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``.

1272Port Functions
1273--------------
1274
1275The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1276
1277.. note::
1278
1279   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1280
1281port attach
1282~~~~~~~~~~~
1283
1284Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1285
1286   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1287
1288To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1289Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1290Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1291
1292For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1293
1294.. code-block:: console
1295
1296   # Check the status of the available devices.
1297   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1298
1299   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1300   ============================================
1301   <none>
1302
1303   Network devices using kernel driver
1304   ===================================
1305   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1306
1307
1308   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1309   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1310
1311
1312   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1313   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1314   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1315   ============================================
1316   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1317
1318To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1319
1320For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1321
1322.. code-block:: console
1323
1324   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1325   Attaching a new port...
1326   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1327   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1328   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1329   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1330   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1331   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1332   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1333   Done
1334
1335For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1336
1337.. code-block:: console
1338
1339   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1340   Attaching a new port...
1341   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1342   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1343   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1344   Done
1345
1346In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1347This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1348
1349For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1350the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1351
1352.. code-block:: console
1353
1354   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1355   Attaching a new port...
1356   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1357   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1358   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1359   Done
1360
1361
1362port detach
1363~~~~~~~~~~~
1364
1365Detach a specific port::
1366
1367   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1368
1369Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1370
1371For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1372
1373.. code-block:: console
1374
1375   testpmd> port stop 0
1376   Stopping ports...
1377   Done
1378   testpmd> port close 0
1379   Closing ports...
1380   Done
1381
1382   testpmd> port detach 0
1383   Detaching a port...
1384   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1385   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd

1387   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1388   Done
1389
1390
1391For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1392
1393.. code-block:: console
1394
1395   testpmd> port stop 0
1396   Stopping ports...
1397   Done
1398   testpmd> port close 0
1399   Closing ports...
1400   Done
1401
1402   testpmd> port detach 0
1403   Detaching a port...
1404   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1405   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1406   Done
1407
1408To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1409Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1410Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1411
1412For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1413
1414.. code-block:: console
1415
1416   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1417
1418   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

1664manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.
1665
1666create bonded device
1667~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1668
1669Create a new bonding device::
1670
1671   testpmd> create bonded device (mode) (socket)
1672
1673For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0::
1674
1675   testpmd> create bonded 1 0
1676   created new bonded device (port X)
1677
1678add bonding slave
1679~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1680
1681Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
1682
1683   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1684
1685For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1686
1687   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
1688
1689
1690remove bonding slave
1691~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1692
1693Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
1694
1695   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1696
1697For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1698
1699   testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
1700
1701set bonding mode
1702~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1703
1704Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device::
1705
1706   testpmd> set bonding mode (value) (port id)
1707
1708For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3)::
1709
1710   testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
1711
1712set bonding primary
1713~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1714
1715Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device::
1716
1717   testpmd> set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
1718
1719For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1720
1721   testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10
1722
1723set bonding mac
1724~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1725

1737Set the transmission policy for a Link Bonding device when it is in Balance XOR mode::
1738
1739   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)
1740
1741For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
1742
1743   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy 10 l34
1744
1745
1746set bonding mon_period
1747~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1748
1749Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding device.
1750
1751This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
1752When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
1753link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
1754
1755   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
1756

1781Register Functions
1782------------------
1783
1784The Register Functions can be used to read from and write to registers on the network card referenced by a port number.
1785This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
1786Reference should be made to the appropriate datasheet for the network card for details on the register addresses
1787and fields that can be accessed.
1788
1789read reg
1790~~~~~~~~
1791
1792Display the value of a port register::
1793
1794   testpmd> read reg (port_id) (address)
1795
1796For example, to examine the Flow Director control register (FDIRCTL, 0x0000EE000) on an Intel 82599 10 GbE Controller::
1797
1798   testpmd> read reg 0 0xEE00
1799   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x4A060029 (1241907241)
1800
1801read regfield
1802~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1803
1804Display a port register bit field::
1805
1806   testpmd> read regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y)
1807
1808For example, reading the lowest two bits from the register in the example above::
1809
1810   testpmd> read regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1
1811   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bits[0, 1]=0x1 (1)
1812
1813read regbit
1814~~~~~~~~~~~
1815
1816Display a single port register bit::
1817
1818   testpmd> read regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x)
1819
1820For example, reading the lowest bit from the register in the example above::
1821
1822   testpmd> read regbit 0 0xEE00 0
1823   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bit 0=1
1824
1825write reg
1826~~~~~~~~~
1827
1828Set the value of a port register::
1829
1830   testpmd> write reg (port_id) (address) (value)
1831
1832For example, to clear a register::
1833
1834   testpmd> write reg 0 0xEE00 0x0
1835   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000000 (0)
1836
1837write regfield
1838~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1839
1840Set bit field of a port register::
1841
1842   testpmd> write regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y) (value)
1843
1844For example, writing to the register cleared in the example above::
1845
1846   testpmd> write regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1 2
1847   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000002 (2)
1848
1849write regbit

1851
1852Set single bit value of a port register::
1853
1854   testpmd> write regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (value)
1855
1856For example, to set the high bit in the register from the example above::
1857
1858   testpmd> write regbit 0 0xEE00 31 1

2036.. _testpmd_flow_director:
2037
2038flow_director_filter
2039~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2040
2041The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
2042
2043Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
2044Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
2045
2046* Perfect match filters.
2047  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2048  The masked fields are for IP flow.
2049
2050* Signature filters.
2051  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
2052
2053* Perfect-mac-vlan 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 MAC VLAN flow.
2056
2057* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
2058  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2059  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
2060
2061The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
2062per flow type and the flexible payload.
2063
2064The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
2065are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
2066
2067Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

2283
2284Flow rules management
2285---------------------
2286
2287Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
2288``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
2289modes).
2290
2291Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
2292features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
2293not recommended.
2294
2295``flow`` syntax
2296~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2297
2298Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
2299of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
2300other commands, in particular:
2301
2302- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
2303  token, not that of the entire command.
2304
2305- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
2306  in the contextual help).
2307
2308The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
2309their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
2310following sections.
2311
2312- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
2313
2314   flow validate {port_id}
2315       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2316       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2317       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2318
2319- Create a flow rule::
2320
2321   flow create {port_id}
2322       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2323       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2324       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2325
2326- Destroy specific flow rules::
2327
2328   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
2329
2330- Destroy all flow rules::
2331
2332   flow flush {port_id}
2333
2334- Query an existing flow rule::
2335
2336   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
2337
2338- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
2339  identifiers::
2340
2341   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
2342
2343- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
2344
2345   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
2346
2347Validating flow rules
2348~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2349
2350``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
2351underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
2352bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
2353
2354   flow validate {port_id}
2355      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2356      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2357      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2358
2359If successful, it will show::
2360
2361   Flow rule validated
2362
2363Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
2364
2365   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2366
2367This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
2368described in `Creating flow rules`_.
2369
2370Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
2371index 6 is supported::
2372
2373   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
2374      actions queue index 6 / end
2375   Flow rule validated
2376   testpmd>
2377
2378Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
2379
2380   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
2381      actions drop / end
2382   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
2383   testpmd>
2384
2385Creating flow rules
2386~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2387
2388``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
2389to ``rte_flow_create()``::
2390
2391   flow create {port_id}
2392      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2393      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2394      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2395
2396If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
2397
2398   Flow rule #[...] created
2399
2400Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
2401
2402   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2403
2404Parameters describe in the following order:
2405
2406- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress* tokens).
2407- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
2408  *end* pattern item.
2409- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
2410  action.
2411
2412These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
2413underlying functions.
2414
2415The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
2416
2417   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
2418
2419Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
2420one.
2421
2422**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
2423
2424Attributes
2425^^^^^^^^^^
2426
2427These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
2428specified before the ``pattern`` token.
2429
2430- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
2431- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
2432- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
2433- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
2434
2435Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
2436value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
2437
2438   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
2439
2440Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
2441
2442While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
2443simultaneously.
2444
2445Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
2446
2447   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
2448
2449Matching pattern
2450^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2451
2452A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
2453items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
2454
2455Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
2456rte_flow_item_type``).
2457
2458The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
2459below::
2460
2461   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
2462
2463Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
2464layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
2465unlikely to match any packet::
2466
2467   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
2468
2469More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
2470documentation.
2471
2472Several items support additional specification structures, for example
2473``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
2474
2475   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
2476      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
2477
2478This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
2479
2480In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
2481``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
2482in a similar fashion.
2483
2484The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
2485and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
2486accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
2487
2488- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
2489- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
2490- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
2491- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
2492- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask from a prefix length.
2493
2494These yield identical results::
2495
2496   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
2497
2498::
2499
2500   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
2501
2502::
2503
2504   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
2505
2506::
2507
2508   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
2509
2510::
2511
2512   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
2513
2514Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
2515
2516   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
2517
2518Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
2519
2520   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
2521      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
2522
2523Properties can be modified multiple times::
2524
2525   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
2526
2527::
2528
2529   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
2530

2640
2641Actions list
2642^^^^^^^^^^^^
2643
2644A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
2645`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
2646terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
2647
2648Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
2649rte_flow_action_type``).
2650
2651Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
2652
2653   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2654      actions drop / end
2655
2656Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
2657there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
2658queue index.
2659
2660This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
2661
2662   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2663      actions queue index 6 / end
2664
2665While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
2666
2667   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2668      actions queue / end
2669
2670As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
2671rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
2672
2673   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
2674
2675::
2676
2677   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
2678
2679All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
2680action of a given type is taken into account::
2681
2682   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
2683
2684::
2685
2686   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
2687
2688::
2689
2690   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
2691
2692Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
2693actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
2694
2695   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
2696
2697::
2698
2699   drop / dup index 6 / end # same as above
2700
2701::
2702
2703   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
2704
2705::
2706
2707   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
2708
2709Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

2750
2751Destroying flow rules
2752~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2753
2754``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
2755by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
2756times as necessary::
2757
2758   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
2759
2760If successful, it will show::
2761
2762   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
2763
2764It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
2765message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
2766
2767   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2768
2769``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
2770arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
2771
2772   flow flush {port_id}
2773
2774Any errors are reported as above.
2775
2776Creating several rules and destroying them::
2777
2778   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2779      actions queue index 2 / end
2780   Flow rule #0 created
2781   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2782      actions queue index 3 / end
2783   Flow rule #1 created
2784   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
2785   Flow rule #1 destroyed
2786   Flow rule #0 destroyed
2787   testpmd>
2788
2789The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
2790
2791   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2792      actions queue index 2 / end
2793   Flow rule #0 created
2794   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2795      actions queue index 3 / end
2796   Flow rule #1 created
2797   testpmd> flow flush 0
2798   testpmd>
2799
2800Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
2801
2802   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2803      actions queue index 2 / end
2804   Flow rule #0 created
2805   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2806      actions queue index 3 / end
2807   Flow rule #1 created
2808   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
2809   testpmd>
2810   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
2811   Flow rule #0 destroyed
2812   testpmd>
2813
2814Querying flow rules
2815~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2816
2817``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
2818ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
2819command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
2820
2821   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
2822
2823If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
2824or the following message::
2825
2826   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
2827
2828Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
2829error occurred::
2830
2831   Flow rule #[...] not found
2832
2833::
2834
2835   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2836
2837Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
2838number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
2839output has the following format::
2840
2841   count:
2842    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
2843    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
2844    hits: [...] # number of packets
2845    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
2846
2847Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
2848
2849   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
2850      actions queue index 6 / count / end
2851   Flow rule #4 created
2852   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
2853   count:
2854    hits_set: 1
2855    bytes_set: 0
2856    hits: 386446
2857    bytes: 0
2858   testpmd>
2859
2860Listing flow rules
2861~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2862
2863``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
2864filtered by group identifiers::
2865
2866   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
2867
2868This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
2869exist::
2870
2871   Invalid port [...]
2872
2873Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
2874flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
2875configured on the device::
2876
2877   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2878   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
2879
2880``Attr`` column flags:
2881
2882- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
2883- ``e`` for ``egress``.
2884
2885Creating several flow rules and listing them::
2886
2887   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2888      actions queue index 6 / end
2889   Flow rule #0 created
2890   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2891      actions queue index 2 / end
2892   Flow rule #1 created
2893   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2894      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
2895   Flow rule #2 created
2896   testpmd> flow list 0
2897   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2898   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
2899   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
2900   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
2901   testpmd>
2902
2903Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
2904
2905   testpmd> flow list 1
2906   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2907   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
2908   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
2909   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
2910   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
2911   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
2912   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
2913   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
2914   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
2915   testpmd>
2916
2917Output can be limited to specific groups::
2918
2919   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
2920   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2921   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
2922   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
2923   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
2924   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
2925   testpmd>
2926
2927Toggling isolated mode
2928~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2929
2930``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
2931must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
2932is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
2933resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
2934
2935 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
2936
2937If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
2938
2939 Ingress traffic on port [...]
2940    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
2941
2942Or::
2943
2944 Ingress traffic on port [...]
2945    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
2946
2947Otherwise, in case of error::
2948
2949   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2950
2951Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
2952ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
2953first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
2954
2955Enabling isolated mode::
2956
2957 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
2958 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
2959 testpmd>
2960
2961Disabling isolated mode::
2962
2963 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
2964 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
2965 testpmd>
2966
2967Sample QinQ flow rules
2968~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2969
2970Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
2971
2972   testpmd> port stop 0
2973   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
2974
2975The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
2976
2977To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
2978
2979   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
2980   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
2981   testpmd> port start 0
2982
2983Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
2984
2985::
2986
2987   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
2988       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
2989   Flow rule #0 validated
2990
2991   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
2992       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 123 / queue index 0 / end
2993   Flow rule #0 created
2994
2995   testpmd> flow list 0
2996   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2997   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
2998
2999Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
3000
3001::
3002
3003   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
3004        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end
3005   Flow rule #1 validated
3006
3007   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
3008        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 1 / end
3009   Flow rule #1 created
3010
3011   testpmd> flow list 0
3012   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3013   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
3014   1       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>PF QUEUE
3015
