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|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
28       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
29       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
30       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|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 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
53       help control    : Start and stop forwarding.
54       help display    : Displaying port, stats and config information.
55       help config     : Configuration information.
56       help ports      : Configuring ports.
57       help registers  : Reading and setting port registers.
58       help filters    : Filters configuration help.
59       help all        : All of the above sections.
60
61
62Command File Functions
63----------------------
64
65To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
66practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
67
68* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
69  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
70  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
71
72.. code-block:: console
73
74   ./testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

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

255
256show config
257~~~~~~~~~~~
258
259Displays the configuration of the application.
260The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
261
262   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|txpkts)
263
264The available information categories are:

268* ``cores``: List of forwarding cores.
269
270* ``fwd``: Packet forwarding configuration.
271
272* ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
273
274For example:
275
276.. code-block:: console
277
278   testpmd> show config rxtx
279
280   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
281   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
282   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
283   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
284   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
285   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
286   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
287
288set fwd
289~~~~~~~
290
291Set the packet forwarding mode::
292
293   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
294                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy) (""|retry)
295
296``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
297
298The available information categories are:
299
300* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
301  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
302  This is the default mode.
303
304* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
305  Default application behaviour is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
306  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
307  'eth-peer-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
308
309* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
310  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
311
312* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
313  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
314
315* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
316
317* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
318
319* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
320
321* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
322
323* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
324
325* ``softnic``: Demonstrates the softnic forwarding operation. In this mode, packet forwarding is
326  similar to I/O mode except for the fact that packets are loopback to the softnic ports only. Therefore, portmask parameter should be set to softnic port only. The various software based custom NIC pipelines specified through the softnic firmware (DPDK packet framework script) can be tested in this mode. Furthermore, it allows to build 5-level hierarchical QoS scheduler as a default option that can be enabled through CLI once testpmd application is initialised. The user can modify the default scheduler hierarchy or can specify the new QoS Scheduler hierarchy through CLI. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SOFTNIC=y``.
327
328* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbour simulation.
329  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
330  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
331
332Example::
333
334   testpmd> set fwd rxonly

471
472Where:
473
474* ``type`` is the log name.
475
476* ``level`` is the log level.
477
478For example, to change the global log level::
479	testpmd> set log global (level)
480
481Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
482	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
483
484set nbport
485~~~~~~~~~~
486
487Set the number of ports used by the application:
488
489set nbport (num)
490
491This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
492
493set nbcore
494~~~~~~~~~~
495
496Set the number of cores used by the application::
497
498   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
499
500This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
501
502.. note::
503
504   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
505
506set coremask
507~~~~~~~~~~~~
508
509Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
510
511   testpmd> set coremask (mask)

518
519set portmask
520~~~~~~~~~~~~
521
522Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
523
524   testpmd> set portmask (mask)

526This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
527
528set burst
529~~~~~~~~~
530
531Set number of packets per burst::
532
533   testpmd> set burst (num)
534
535This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.

537When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
538
539   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
540
541set txpkts
542~~~~~~~~~~
543
544Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
545
546   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
547
548Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
549
550set txsplit
551~~~~~~~~~~~
552
553Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
554
555   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
556
557Where:
558
559* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
560
561* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
562  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
563  (see above).
564
565* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
566
567set corelist
568~~~~~~~~~~~~
569
570Set the list of forwarding cores::
571

892* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
893
894* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
895  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
896  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
897
898* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
899  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, vxlan-gpe are
900  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.

906RSS queue region
907~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
908
909Set RSS queue region span on a port::
910
911   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) \
912		queue_start_index (value) queue_num (value)
913
914Set flowtype mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::
915
916   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) flowtype (value)
917
918where:
919
920* For the flowtype(pctype) of packet,the specific index for each type has
921  been defined in file i40e_type.h as enum i40e_filter_pctype.
922
923Set user priority mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::
924
925   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region UP (value) region_id (value)
926
927Flush all queue region related configuration on a port::
928
929   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region flush (on|off)
930
931where:
932
933* "on"is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
934  it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
935  at first will only keep in DPDK softwarestored in driver,
936  only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.
937  "off" is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
938  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
939
940Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
941
942   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
943
944.. note::
945
946  Queue region only support on PF by now, so these command is
947  only for configuration of queue region on PF port.
948
949csum parse-tunnel
950~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
951
952Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
953engine::
954
955   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
956
957If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
958tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
959
960If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
961header is handled as a packet payload).
962
963.. note::
964
965   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
966
967Example:
968
969Consider a packet in packet like the following::
970
971   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
972
973* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
974  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
975  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
976
977* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
978   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.
979
980csum show
981~~~~~~~~~
982
983Display tx checksum offload configuration::
984
985   testpmd> csum show (port_id)
986
987tso set
988~~~~~~~
989
990Enable TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) in the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
991
992   testpmd> tso set (segsize) (port_id)
993
994.. note::
995
996   Check the NIC datasheet for hardware limits.
997
998tso show
999~~~~~~~~
1000
1001Display the status of TCP Segmentation Offload::
1002
1003   testpmd> tso show (port_id)
1004
1005set port - gro
1006~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1007
1008Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1009
1010   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1011
1012If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1013packets received from the given port.
1014
1015If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1016GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1017
1018.. note::
1019
1020   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1021   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1022   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1023   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1024   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1025   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1026   transmitted to.
1027
1028show port - gro
1029~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1030
1031Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1032
1033   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1034
1035set gro flush
1036~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1037
1038Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1039
1040   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1041
1042When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1043packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1044can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1045from the reassembly tables.
1046
1047The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1048engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1049operations.
1050
1051By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1052from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1053of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1054
1055Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1056stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1057stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1058
1059set port - gso
1060~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1061
1062Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1063
1064   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1065
1066If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1067packets, transmitted on the given port.
1068
1069If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1070By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1071
1072.. note::
1073
1074   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1075   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1076   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1077   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1078   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1079   GSO-enabled ports.
1080
1081   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1082   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1083
1084   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1085
1086   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1087
1088   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1089
1090   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1091   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1092   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1093   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1094   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1095   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1096
1097set gso segsz
1098~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1099
1100Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the
1101packet header and the packet payload for GSO-enabled ports (global)::
1102

1695The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1696
1697.. note::
1698
1699   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1700
1701port attach
1702~~~~~~~~~~~
1703
1704Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1705
1706   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1707
1708To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1709Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1710Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1711
1712For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1713
1714.. code-block:: console
1715
1716   # Check the status of the available devices.
1717   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1718
1719   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1720   ============================================
1721   <none>
1722
1723   Network devices using kernel driver
1724   ===================================
1725   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1726
1727
1728   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1729   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1730
1731
1732   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1733   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1734   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1735   ============================================
1736   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1737
1738To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1739
1740For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1741
1742.. code-block:: console
1743
1744   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1745   Attaching a new port...
1746   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1747   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1748   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1749   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1750   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1751   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1752   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1753   Done
1754
1755For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1756
1757.. code-block:: console
1758
1759   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1760   Attaching a new port...
1761   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1762   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1763   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1764   Done
1765
1766In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1767This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1768
1769For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1770the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1771
1772.. code-block:: console
1773
1774   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1775   Attaching a new port...
1776   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1777   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1778   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1779   Done
1780
1781
1782port detach
1783~~~~~~~~~~~
1784
1785Detach a specific port::
1786
1787   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1788
1789Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1790
1791For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1792
1793.. code-block:: console
1794
1795   testpmd> port stop 0
1796   Stopping ports...
1797   Done
1798   testpmd> port close 0
1799   Closing ports...
1800   Done
1801
1802   testpmd> port detach 0
1803   Detaching a port...
1804   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1805   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1806   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1807   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1808   Done
1809
1810
1811For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1812
1813.. code-block:: console
1814
1815   testpmd> port stop 0
1816   Stopping ports...
1817   Done
1818   testpmd> port close 0
1819   Closing ports...
1820   Done
1821
1822   testpmd> port detach 0
1823   Detaching a port...
1824   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1825   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1826   Done
1827
1828To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1829Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1830Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1831
1832For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1833
1834.. code-block:: console
1835
1836   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1837
1838   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1839

2147manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.
2148
2149create bonded device
2150~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2151
2152Create a new bonding device::
2153
2154   testpmd> create bonded device (mode) (socket)
2155
2156For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0::
2157
2158   testpmd> create bonded device 1 0
2159   created new bonded device (port X)
2160
2161add bonding slave
2162~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2163
2164Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
2165
2166   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2167
2168For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2169
2170   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2171
2172
2173remove bonding slave
2174~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2175
2176Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2177
2178   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2179
2180For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2181
2182   testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
2183
2184set bonding mode
2185~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2186
2187Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device::
2188
2189   testpmd> set bonding mode (value) (port id)
2190
2191For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3)::
2192
2193   testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
2194
2195set bonding primary
2196~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2197
2198Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device::
2199
2200   testpmd> set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
2201
2202For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2203
2204   testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10
2205
2206set bonding mac

2208
2209Set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device::
2210
2211   testpmd> set bonding mac (port id) (mac)
2212
2213For example, to set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to 00:00:00:00:00:01::
2214
2215   testpmd> set bonding mac 10 00:00:00:00:00:01
2216
2217set bonding xmit_balance_policy
2218~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2219
2220Set the transmission policy for a Link Bonding device when it is in Balance XOR mode::
2221
2222   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)
2223
2224For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2225
2226   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy 10 l34
2227
2228
2229set bonding mon_period
2230~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2231
2232Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding device.
2233
2234This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2235When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2236link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2237
2238   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
2239
2240For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::
2241
2242   testpmd> set bonding mon_period 5 150
2243
2244

2281Register Functions
2282------------------
2283
2284The Register Functions can be used to read from and write to registers on the network card referenced by a port number.
2285This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
2286Reference should be made to the appropriate datasheet for the network card for details on the register addresses
2287and fields that can be accessed.
2288
2289read reg

2291
2292Display the value of a port register::
2293
2294   testpmd> read reg (port_id) (address)
2295
2296For example, to examine the Flow Director control register (FDIRCTL, 0x0000EE000) on an Intel 82599 10 GbE Controller::
2297
2298   testpmd> read reg 0 0xEE00
2299   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x4A060029 (1241907241)

2343
2344For example, writing to the register cleared in the example above::
2345
2346   testpmd> write regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1 2
2347   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000002 (2)
2348

3034.. _testpmd_flow_director:
3035
3036flow_director_filter
3037~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3038
3039The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
3040
3041Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
3042Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
3043
3044* Perfect match filters.
3045  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3046  The masked fields are for IP flow.
3047
3048* Signature filters.
3049  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
3050
3051* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
3052  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3053  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
3054
3055* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
3056  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3057  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
3058
3059* Perfect-raw-flow-type match filters.
3060  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and pre-loaded raw (template) packet.
3061  The masked fields are specified by input sets.
3062
3063The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
3064per flow type and the flexible payload.
3065
3066The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
3067are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
3068
3069Note that for raw flow type mode the source and destination fields in the
3070raw packet buffer need to be presented in a reversed order with respect
3071to the expected received packets.
3072For example: IP source and destination addresses or TCP/UDP/SCTP
3073source and destination ports
3074
3075Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

3295
3296Flow rules management
3297---------------------
3298
3299Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3300``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3301modes).
3302
3303Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3304features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3305not recommended.
3306
3307``flow`` syntax
3308~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3309
3310Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3311of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3312other commands, in particular:
3313
3314- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3315  token, not that of the entire command.
3316
3317- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3318  in the contextual help).
3319
3320The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3321their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3322following sections.
3323
3324- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3325
3326   flow validate {port_id}
3327       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3328       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3329       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3330
3331- Create a flow rule::
3332
3333   flow create {port_id}
3334       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3335       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3336       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3337
3338- Destroy specific flow rules::
3339
3340   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3341
3342- Destroy all flow rules::
3343
3344   flow flush {port_id}
3345
3346- Query an existing flow rule::
3347
3348   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3349
3350- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3351  identifiers::
3352
3353   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3354
3355- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3356
3357   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3358
3359Validating flow rules
3360~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3361
3362``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3363underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3364bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3365
3366   flow validate {port_id}
3367      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3368      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3369      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3370
3371If successful, it will show::
3372
3373   Flow rule validated
3374
3375Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3376
3377   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3378
3379This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3380described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3381
3382Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3383index 6 is supported::
3384
3385   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3386      actions queue index 6 / end
3387   Flow rule validated
3388   testpmd>
3389
3390Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3391
3392   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3393      actions drop / end
3394   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3395   testpmd>
3396
3397Creating flow rules
3398~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3399
3400``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3401to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3402
3403   flow create {port_id}
3404      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3405      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3406      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3407
3408If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3409
3410   Flow rule #[...] created
3411
3412Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3413
3414   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3415
3416Parameters describe in the following order:
3417
3418- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3419- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3420  *end* pattern item.
3421- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3422  action.
3423
3424These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3425underlying functions.
3426
3427The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3428
3429   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3430
3431Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3432one.
3433
3434**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3435
3436Attributes
3437^^^^^^^^^^
3438
3439These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3440specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3441
3442- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3443- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3444- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3445- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3446- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3447
3448Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3449value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3450
3451   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3452
3453Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3454
3455While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3456simultaneously.
3457
3458Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3459
3460   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3461
3462Matching pattern
3463^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3464
3465A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3466items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3467
3468Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3469rte_flow_item_type``).
3470
3471The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3472below::
3473
3474   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3475
3476Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3477layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3478unlikely to match any packet::
3479
3480   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3481
3482More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3483documentation.
3484
3485Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3486``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3487
3488   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3489      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3490
3491This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3492
3493In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3494``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3495in a similar fashion.
3496
3497The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3498and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3499accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3500
3501- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3502- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3503- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3504- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3505- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3506
3507These yield identical results::
3508
3509   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3510
3511::
3512
3513   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3514
3515::
3516
3517   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3518
3519::
3520
3521   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3522
3523::
3524
3525   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3526
3527Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3528
3529   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3530
3531Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3532
3533   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3534      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3535
3536Properties can be modified multiple times::
3537
3538   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3539
3540::
3541
3542   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

3717Actions list
3718^^^^^^^^^^^^
3719
3720A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3721`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3722terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3723
3724Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3725rte_flow_action_type``).
3726
3727Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3728
3729   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3730      actions drop / end
3731
3732Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3733there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3734queue index.
3735
3736This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3737
3738   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3739      actions queue index 6 / end
3740
3741While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3742
3743   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3744      actions queue / end
3745
3746As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3747rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3748
3749   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3750
3751::
3752
3753   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3754
3755All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3756action of a given type is taken into account::
3757
3758   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3759
3760::
3761
3762   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3763
3764::
3765
3766   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3767
3768Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3769actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3770
3771   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3772
3773::
3774
3775   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3776
3777::
3778
3779   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3780
3781Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
3782

3960Destroying flow rules
3961~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3962
3963``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
3964by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
3965times as necessary::
3966
3967   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3968
3969If successful, it will show::
3970
3971   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
3972
3973It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
3974message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
3975
3976   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3977
3978``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
3979arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
3980
3981   flow flush {port_id}
3982
3983Any errors are reported as above.
3984
3985Creating several rules and destroying them::
3986
3987   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3988      actions queue index 2 / end
3989   Flow rule #0 created
3990   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3991      actions queue index 3 / end
3992   Flow rule #1 created
3993   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
3994   Flow rule #1 destroyed
3995   Flow rule #0 destroyed
3996   testpmd>
3997
3998The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
3999
4000   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4001      actions queue index 2 / end
4002   Flow rule #0 created
4003   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4004      actions queue index 3 / end
4005   Flow rule #1 created
4006   testpmd> flow flush 0
4007   testpmd>
4008
4009Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4010
4011   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4012      actions queue index 2 / end
4013   Flow rule #0 created
4014   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4015      actions queue index 3 / end
4016   Flow rule #1 created
4017   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4018   testpmd>
4019   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4020   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4021   testpmd>
4022
4023Querying flow rules
4024~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4025
4026``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4027ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4028command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4029
4030   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4031
4032If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4033or the following message::
4034
4035   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4036
4037Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4038error occurred::
4039
4040   Flow rule #[...] not found
4041
4042::
4043
4044   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4045
4046Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4047number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4048output has the following format::
4049
4050   count:
4051    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4052    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4053    hits: [...] # number of packets
4054    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4055
4056Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4057
4058   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4059      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4060   Flow rule #4 created
4061   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4062   count:
4063    hits_set: 1
4064    bytes_set: 0
4065    hits: 386446
4066    bytes: 0
4067   testpmd>
4068
4069Listing flow rules
4070~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4071
4072``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4073filtered by group identifiers::
4074
4075   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4076
4077This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4078exist::
4079
4080   Invalid port [...]
4081
4082Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4083flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4084configured on the device::
4085
4086   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4087   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4088
4089``Attr`` column flags:
4090
4091- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4092- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4093
4094Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4095
4096   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4097      actions queue index 6 / end
4098   Flow rule #0 created
4099   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4100      actions queue index 2 / end
4101   Flow rule #1 created
4102   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4103      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4104   Flow rule #2 created
4105   testpmd> flow list 0
4106   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4107   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4108   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4109   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4110   testpmd>
4111
4112Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4113
4114   testpmd> flow list 1
4115   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4116   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4117   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4118   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4119   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4120   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4121   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4122   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4123   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4124   testpmd>
4125
4126Output can be limited to specific groups::
4127
4128   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4129   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4130   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4131   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4132   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4133   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4134   testpmd>
4135
4136Toggling isolated mode
4137~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4138
4139``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4140must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4141is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4142resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4143
4144 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4145
4146If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4147
4148 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4149    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4150
4151Or::
4152
4153 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4154    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4155
4156Otherwise, in case of error::
4157
4158   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4159
4160Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4161ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4162first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4163
4164Enabling isolated mode::
4165
4166 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4167 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4168 testpmd>
4169
4170Disabling isolated mode::
4171
4172 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4173 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4174 testpmd>
4175
4176Sample QinQ flow rules
4177~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4178
4179Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4180
4181   testpmd> port stop 0
4182   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
4183
4184The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4185
4186To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4187
4188   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
4189   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
4190   testpmd> port start 0
4191
4192Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4193

4462BPF Functions
4463--------------
4464
4465The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
4466
4467bpf-load
4468~~~~~~~~
4469
4470Load an eBPF program as a callback for partciular RX/TX queue::
4471
4472   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
4473
4474The available load-flags are:
4475
4476* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
4477
4478* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
4479
4480* ``-``: none.
4481
4482.. note::
4483
4484   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
4485
4486For example:
4487
4488.. code-block:: console
4489
4490   cd test/bpf
4491   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
4492
4493Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1::
4494
4495.. code-block:: console
4496
4497   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4498
4499To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0::
4500
4501.. code-block:: console
4502
4503   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4504
4505bpf-unload
4506~~~~~~~~~~
4507
4508Unload previously loaded eBPF program for partciular RX/TX queue::
4509
4510   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
4511
4512For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
4513
4514.. code-block:: console
4515
4516   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4517
