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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2893Congestion Management
2894---------------------
2895
2896Get capabilities
2897~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2898
2899Retrieve congestion management capabilities supported by driver for given port.
2900Below example command retrieves capabilities for port 0::

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

3249
3250   flow template_table {port_id} destroy table {id} [...]
3251
3252If successful, it will show::
3253
3254   Template table #[...] destroyed
3255
3256It does not report anything for table IDs that do not exist.
3257The usual error message is shown when a table cannot be destroyed::

3296~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3297
3298``flow hash {port_id} template_table`` calculates the hash for a given pattern.
3299It is bound to ``rte_flow_calc_table_hash()``::
3300

3302       pattern_template {pattern_template_index}
3303       actions_template {actions_template_index}
3304       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3305
3306If successful, it will show the calculated hash result as seen below::
3307
3308   Hash results 0x[...]
3309
3310Otherwise, it will show an error message of the form::
3311
3312   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3313
3314This command uses the same pattern items as ``flow create``,
3315their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3316
3317Simulate encap hash calculation
3318~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3319
3320``flow hash {port_id} encap`` adds hash query, that returns the hash value
3321that the HW will calculate when encapsulating a packet::
3322
3323   flow hash {port_id} encap {target field} pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3324
3325If successful, it will show::

3330
3331Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3332
3333   Failed to calculate encap hash - [...]
3334
3335Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3336~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3337
3338``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3339
3340   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3341
3342If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::

3362Validating flow rules
3363~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3364
3365``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3366underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3367bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3368
3369   flow validate {port_id}
3370      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3371      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3372      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3373
3374If successful, it will show::
3375
3376   Flow rule validated
3377
3378Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3379
3380   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3381
3382This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3383described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3384
3385Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3386index 6 is supported::
3387
3388   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3389      actions queue index 6 / end
3390   Flow rule validated
3391   testpmd>
3392
3393Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3394
3395   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3396      actions drop / end
3397   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3398   testpmd>
3399
3400Creating flow rules
3401~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3402
3403``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3404to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3405
3406   flow create {port_id}
3407      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3408      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3409      [user_id {user_id}] pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3410      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3411
3412If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3413
3414   Flow rule #[...] created
3415
3416Or if ``user_id`` is provided::
3417
3418   Flow rule #[...] created, user-id [...]
3419
3420Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3421
3422   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3423
3424Parameters describe in the following order:
3425
3426- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3427- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3428- User identifier for the flow.
3429- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3430  *end* pattern item.
3431- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3432  action.
3433
3434These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3435underlying functions.
3436
3437The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3438
3439   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3440
3441Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3442one.
3443
3444**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3445
3446Enqueueing creation of flow rules
3447~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3448
3449``flow queue create`` adds creation operation of a flow rule to a queue.
3450It is bound to ``rte_flow_async_create()``::
3451
3452   flow queue {port_id} create {queue_id}
3453       [postpone {boolean}] template_table {table_id}
3454       pattern_template {pattern_template_index}
3455       actions_template {actions_template_index}
3456       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3457       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3458
3459If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3460
3461   Flow rule #[...] creaion enqueued
3462
3463Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3464
3465   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3466
3467This command uses the same pattern items and actions as ``flow create``,
3468their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3469
3470``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
3471
3472Attributes
3473^^^^^^^^^^
3474
3475These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3476specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3477
3478- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3479- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3480- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3481- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3482- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3483
3484Please note that use of ``transfer`` attribute requires that the flow and
3485its indirect components be managed via so-called ``transfer`` proxy port.
3486See `show flow transfer proxy port ID for the given port`_ for details.
3487
3488Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3489value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3490
3491   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3492
3493Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3494
3495While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3496simultaneously.
3497
3498Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3499
3500   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3501
3502Tunnel offload
3503^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3504
3505Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3506
3507- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3508- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunnel offload match type.
3509
3510Matching pattern
3511^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3512
3513A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3514items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3515
3516Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3517rte_flow_item_type``).
3518
3519The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3520below::
3521
3522   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3523
3524Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3525layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3526unlikely to match any packet::
3527
3528   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3529
3530More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3531documentation.
3532
3533Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3534``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3535
3536   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3537      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3538
3539This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3540
3541In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3542``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3543in a similar fashion.
3544
3545The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3546and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3547accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3548
3549- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3550- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3551- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3552- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3553- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3554
3555These yield identical results::
3556
3557   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3558
3559::
3560
3561   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3562
3563::
3564
3565   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3566
3567::
3568
3569   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3570
3571::
3572
3573   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3574
3575Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3576
3577   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3578
3579Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3580
3581   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3582      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3583
3584Properties can be modified multiple times::
3585
3586   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3587
3588::
3589
3590   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3591

3883Actions list
3884^^^^^^^^^^^^
3885
3886A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3887`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3888terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3889
3890Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3891rte_flow_action_type``).
3892
3893Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3894
3895   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3896      actions drop / end
3897
3898Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3899there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3900queue index.
3901
3902This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3903
3904   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3905      actions queue index 6 / end
3906
3907While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3908
3909   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3910      actions queue / end
3911
3912As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3913rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3914
3915   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3916
3917::
3918
3919   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3920
3921All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3922action of a given type is taken into account::
3923
3924   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3925
3926::
3927
3928   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3929
3930::
3931
3932   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3933
3934Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3935actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3936
3937   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3938
3939::
3940
3941   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3942
3943::
3944
3945   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3946
3947Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4196Destroying flow rules
4197~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4198
4199``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4200by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4201times as necessary::
4202
4203   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...] [user_id]
4204
4205If successful, it will show::
4206
4207   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4208
4209Or if ``user_id`` flag is provided::
4210
4211   Flow rule #[...] destroyed, user-id [...]
4212
4213Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4214is the one provided by the user at creation.
4215It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4216message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4217
4218   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4219
4220``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4221arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4222
4223   flow flush {port_id}
4224
4225Any errors are reported as above.
4226
4227Creating several rules and destroying them::
4228
4229   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4230      actions queue index 2 / end
4231   Flow rule #0 created
4232   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4233      actions queue index 3 / end
4234   Flow rule #1 created
4235   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4236   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4237   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4238   testpmd>
4239
4240The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4241
4242   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4243      actions queue index 2 / end
4244   Flow rule #0 created
4245   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4246      actions queue index 3 / end
4247   Flow rule #1 created
4248   testpmd> flow flush 0
4249   testpmd>
4250
4251Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4252
4253   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4254      actions queue index 2 / end
4255   Flow rule #0 created
4256   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4257      actions queue index 3 / end
4258   Flow rule #1 created
4259   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4260   testpmd>
4261   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4262   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4263   testpmd>
4264
4265Enqueueing destruction of flow rules
4266~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4267
4268``flow queue destroy`` adds destruction operations to destroy one or more rules
4269from their rule ID (as returned by ``flow queue create``) to a queue,
4270this command calls ``rte_flow_async_destroy()`` as many times as necessary::
4271
4272   flow queue {port_id} destroy {queue_id}
4273        [postpone {boolean}] rule {rule_id} [...]
4274
4275If successful, it will show::
4276
4277   Flow rule #[...] destruction enqueued
4278
4279It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4280message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4281
4282   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4283
4284``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
4285
4286Querying flow rules
4287~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4288
4289``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4290ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4291command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4292
4293   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action} [user_id]
4294
4295Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4296is the one provided by the user at creation.
4297If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4298or the following message::
4299
4300   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4301
4302Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4303error occurred::
4304
4305   Flow rule #[...] not found
4306
4307::
4308

4310
4311Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4312number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4313output has the following format::
4314
4315   count:
4316    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4317    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value

4334Listing flow rules
4335~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4336
4337``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4338filtered by group identifiers::
4339
4340   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4341
4342This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4343exist::
4344
4345   Invalid port [...]
4346
4347Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4348flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4349configured on the device::
4350
4351   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4352   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4353
4354``Attr`` column flags:
4355
4356- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4357- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4358
4359Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4360
4361   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4362      actions queue index 6 / end
4363   Flow rule #0 created
4364   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4365      actions queue index 2 / end
4366   Flow rule #1 created
4367   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4368      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4369   Flow rule #2 created
4370   testpmd> flow list 0
4371   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4372   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4373   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4374   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4375   testpmd>
4376
4377Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4378
4379   testpmd> flow list 1
4380   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4381   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4382   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4383   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4384   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4385   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4386   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4387   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4388   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4389   testpmd>
4390
4391Output can be limited to specific groups::
4392
4393   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4394   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4395   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4396   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4397   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4398   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4399   testpmd>
4400
4401Toggling isolated mode
4402~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4403
4404``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4405must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4406is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4407resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4408
4409 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4410
4411If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4412
4413 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4414    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4415
4416Or::
4417
4418 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4419    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4420
4421Otherwise, in case of error::
4422
4423   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4424
4425Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4426ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4427first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4428
4429Enabling isolated mode::
4430
4431 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4432 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4433 testpmd>
4434
4435Disabling isolated mode::
4436
4437 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4438 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4439 testpmd>
4440
4441Dumping HW internal information
4442~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4443
4444``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4445all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4446
4447   flow dump {port_id} {output_file} [user_id]
4448
4449If successful, it will show::
4450
4451   Flow dump finished
4452
4453Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4454
4455   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4456
4457Optional ``user_id`` is a flag that signifies the rule ID
4458is the one provided by the user at creation.
4459
4460Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4461~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4462
4463``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4464and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD::
4465
4466   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4467
4468Listing current aged flow rules::
4469
4470   testpmd> flow aged 0
4471   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4472   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4473      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4474   Flow rule #0 created
4475   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4476      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4477   Flow rule #1 created
4478   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4479      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end

4482      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4483   Flow rule #3 created
4484
4485
4486Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4487information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4488those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4489will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4490
4491   testpmd> flow aged 0
4492   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4493   ID      Group   Prio    Attr

4519~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4520
4521``flow queue aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from
4522``rte_flow_get_q_aged_flows`` API, and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to
4523destroy those flow rules in PMD::
4524
4525   flow queue {port_id} aged {queue_id} [destroy]
4526
4527Listing current aged flow rules::

5174 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / udp / ah spi is 1 / end
5175        actions queue index 3 / end
5176
5177Sample PFCP rules
5178~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5179
5180PFCP rules can be created by the following commands(s_field need to be 1
5181if seid is set)::
5182
5183 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / pfcp s_field is 0 / end
5184        actions queue index 3 / end
5185 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / pfcp s_field is 1

5192Sample Sampling/Mirroring rules
5193~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5194
5195Sample/Mirroring rules can be set by the following commands
5196
5197NIC-RX Sampling rule, the matched ingress packets and sent to the queue 1,
5198and 50% packets are duplicated and marked with 0x1234 and sent to queue 0.
5199
5200::
5201
5202 testpmd> set sample_actions 0 mark id  0x1234 / queue index 0 / end
5203 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress group 1 pattern eth / end actions
5204        sample ratio 2 index 0 / queue index 1 / end
5205
5206Match packets coming from a VM which is referred to by means of
5207its representor ethdev (port 1), mirror 50% of them to the
5208said representor (for bookkeeping) as well as encapsulate
5209all the packets and steer them to the physical port:
5210
5211::
5212
5213   testpmd> set sample_actions 0 port_representor ethdev_port_id 1 / end
5214
5215   testpmd> set vxlan ip-version ipv4 vni 4 udp-src 32 udp-dst 4789 ip-src 127.0.0.1
5216      ip-dst 127.0.0.2 eth-src 11:11:11:11:11:11 eth-dst 22:22:22:22:22:22
5217
5218   testpmd> flow create 0 transfer pattern represented_port ethdev_port_id is 1 / end
5219      actions sample ratio 2 index 0 / vxlan_encap /
5220      represented_port ethdev_port_id 0 / end
5221
5222The rule is inserted via port 0 (assumed to have "transfer" privilege).
5223

5231
5232::
5233
5234 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress
5235            pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / integrity value mask 8 value spec 8 / end
5236            actions jump group 1 / end
5237
5238Integrity rule that forwards invalid packets to application.
5239General packet integrity is matched with the ``packet_ok`` bit 0.
5240
5241::
5242
5243 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern integrity value mask 1 value spec 0 / end actions queue index 0 / end
5244
5245Sample conntrack rules
5246~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5247
5248Conntrack rules can be set by the following commands
5249
5250Need to construct the connection context with provided information.
5251In the first table, create a flow rule by using conntrack action and jump to
5252the next table. In the next table, create a rule to check the state.
5253

5268 testpmd> flow create 0 group 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / conntrack is 1 / end actions queue index 5 / end
5269
5270Construct the conntrack again with only "is_orig" set to 0 (other fields are
5271ignored), then use "update" interface to update the direction. Create flow
5272rules like above for the peer port.
5273
5274::
5275
5276 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 0 action conntrack_update dir / end

5367BPF Functions
5368--------------
5369
5370The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5371
5372bpf-load
5373~~~~~~~~
5374
5375Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5376
5377   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5378
5379The available load-flags are:
5380
5381* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5382
5383* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5384
5385* ``-``: none.
5386
5387.. note::
5388
5389   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5390
5391For example:
5392
5393.. code-block:: console
5394
5395   cd examples/bpf
5396   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5397
5398Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5399
5400.. code-block:: console
5401
5402   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5403
5404To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5405
5406.. code-block:: console
5407
5408   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5409
5410bpf-unload
5411~~~~~~~~~~
5412
5413Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5414
5415   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5416
5417For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5418
5419.. code-block:: console
5420
5421   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5422
5423Flex Item Functions
5424-------------------
5425
5426The following sections show functions that configure and create flex item object,
5427create flex pattern and use it in a flow rule.
5428The commands will use 20 bytes IPv4 header for examples:
5429
5430::
5431
5432   0                   1                   2                   3

5447Create flex item
5448~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5449
5450Flex item object is created by PMD according to a new header configuration. The
5451header configuration is compiled by the testpmd and stored in
5452``rte_flow_item_flex_conf`` type variable.
5453
5454::
5455
5456   # flow flex_item create <port> <flex id> <configuration file>
5457   testpmd> flow flex_item init 0 3 ipv4_flex_config.json
5458   port-0: created flex item #3
5459
5460Flex item configuration is kept in external JSON file.
5461It describes the following header elements:
5462
5463**New header length.**
5464
5465Specify whether the new header has fixed or variable length and the basic/minimal
5466header length value.
5467
5468If header length is not fixed, header location with a value that completes header
5469length calculation and scale/offset function must be added.
5470
5471Scale function depends on port hardware.
5472
5473**Next protocol.**
5474
5475Describes location in the new header that specify following network header type.
5476
5477**Flow match samples.**
5478
5479Describes locations in the new header that will be used in flow rules.
5480
5481Number of flow samples and sample maximal length depend of port hardware.
5482
5483**Input trigger.**
5484
5485Describes preceding network header configuration.
5486
5487**Output trigger.**
5488
5489Describes conditions that trigger transfer to following network header
5490
5491.. code-block:: json

5514Flex pattern and flow rules
5515~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5516
5517Flex pattern describe parts of network header that will trigger flex flow item hit in a flow rule.
5518Flex pattern directly related to flex item samples configuration.
5519Flex pattern can be shared between ports.
5520
5521**Flex pattern and flow rule to match IPv4 version and 20 bytes length**
5522
5523::
5524
5525   # set flex_pattern <pattern_id> is <hex bytes sequence>
5526   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 5 is 45FF
5527   created pattern #5
5528
5529   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / flex item is 3 pattern is 5 / end actions mark id 1 / queue index 0 / end
5530   Flow rule #0 created
5531
5532**Flex pattern and flow rule to match packets with source address 1.2.3.4**
5533
5534::
5535
5536   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 2 spec 45000000000000000000000001020304 mask FF0000000000000000000000FFFFFFFF
