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

109
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:

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)

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

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

590
591set portlist
592~~~~~~~~~~~~
593
594Set the list of forwarding ports::
595
596   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)
597
598For example, to change the port forwarding:
599
600.. code-block:: console
601
602   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3

881* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
882
883* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
884  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
885  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
886
887* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
888  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, vxlan-gpe are
889  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.

901		queue_start_index (value) queue_num (value)
902
903Set flowtype mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::
904
905   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) flowtype (value)
906
907where:
908
909* For the flowtype(pctype) of packet,the specific index for each type has
910  been defined in file i40e_type.h as enum i40e_filter_pctype.
911
912Set user priority mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::
913
914   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region UP (value) region_id (value)
915
916Flush all queue region related configuration on a port::
917
918   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region flush (on|off)
919
920where:
921
922* "on"is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
923  it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
924  at first will only keep in DPDK softwarestored in driver,
925  only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.
926  "off" is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
927  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
928
929Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
930
931   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
932
933.. note::
934
935  Queue region only support on PF by now, so these command is
936  only for configuration of queue region on PF port.
937
938csum parse-tunnel
939~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
940
941Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
942engine::
943
944   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
945
946If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
947tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
948
949If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
950header is handled as a packet payload).
951
952.. note::
953
954   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
955
956Example:
957
958Consider a packet in packet like the following::
959
960   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
961
962* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
963  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
964  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
965
966* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
967   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.
968
969csum show
970~~~~~~~~~
971
972Display tx checksum offload configuration::
973
974   testpmd> csum show (port_id)
975
976tso set
977~~~~~~~
978
979Enable TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) in the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
980
981   testpmd> tso set (segsize) (port_id)
982
983.. note::
984
985   Check the NIC datasheet for hardware limits.
986
987tso show
988~~~~~~~~
989
990Display the status of TCP Segmentation Offload::
991
992   testpmd> tso show (port_id)
993
994set port - gro
995~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
996
997Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
998
999   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1000
1001If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1002packets received from the given port.
1003
1004If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1005GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1006
1007.. note::
1008
1009   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1010   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1011   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1012   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1013   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1014   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1015   transmitted to.
1016
1017show port - gro
1018~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1019
1020Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1021
1022   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1023
1024set gro flush
1025~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1026
1027Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1028
1029   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1030
1031When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1032packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1033can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1034from the reassembly tables.
1035
1036The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1037engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1038operations.
1039
1040By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1041from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1042of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1043
1044Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1045stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1046stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1047
1048set port - gso
1049~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1050
1051Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1052
1053   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1054
1055If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1056packets, transmitted on the given port.
1057
1058If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1059By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1060
1061.. note::
1062
1063   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1064   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1065   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1066   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1067   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1068   GSO-enabled ports.
1069
1070   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1071   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1072
1073   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1074
1075   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1076
1077   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1078
1079   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1080   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1081   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1082   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1083   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1084   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1085
1086set gso segsz
1087~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1088
1089Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the
1090packet header and the packet payload for GSO-enabled ports (global)::
1091

1652Port Functions
1653--------------
1654
1655The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1656
1657.. note::
1658

1660
1661port attach
1662~~~~~~~~~~~
1663
1664Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1665
1666   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1667
1668To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1669Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1670Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1671
1672For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1673
1674.. code-block:: console
1675
1676   # Check the status of the available devices.
1677   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1678
1679   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1680   ============================================
1681   <none>
1682
1683   Network devices using kernel driver
1684   ===================================
1685   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1686
1687
1688   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1689   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1690
1691
1692   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1693   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1694   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1695   ============================================
1696   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1697
1698To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1699

1787
1788To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1789Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1790Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1791
1792For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1793
1794.. code-block:: console
1795
1796   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0

2124Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
2125
2126   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2127
2128For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2129
2130   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2131
2132
2133remove bonding slave
2134~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2135
2136Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::

2991.. _testpmd_flow_director:
2992
2993flow_director_filter
2994~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2995
2996The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
2997
2998Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
2999Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
3000
3001* Perfect match filters.
3002  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3003  The masked fields are for IP flow.
3004
3005* Signature filters.
3006  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
3007
3008* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
3009  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3010  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
3011
3012* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
3013  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3014  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
3015
3016* Perfect-raw-flow-type match filters.
3017  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and pre-loaded raw (template) packet.
3018  The masked fields are specified by input sets.
3019
3020The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
3021per flow type and the flexible payload.
3022
3023The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
3024are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
3025
3026Note that for raw flow type mode the source and destination fields in the
3027raw packet buffer need to be presented in a reversed order with respect
3028to the expected received packets.
3029For example: IP source and destination addresses or TCP/UDP/SCTP
3030source and destination ports
3031
3032Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

3222
3223The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet, i.e. specific input set
3224on per flow type and the flexible payload. This command can be used to change input set for each flow type.
3225
3226Set the input set for flow director::

3252
3253Flow rules management
3254---------------------
3255
3256Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3257``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3258modes).
3259
3260Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3261features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3262not recommended.
3263
3264``flow`` syntax
3265~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3266
3267Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3268of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3269other commands, in particular:
3270
3271- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3272  token, not that of the entire command.
3273
3274- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3275  in the contextual help).
3276
3277The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3278their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3279following sections.
3280
3281- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3282
3283   flow validate {port_id}
3284       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3285       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3286       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3287
3288- Create a flow rule::
3289
3290   flow create {port_id}
3291       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3292       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3293       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3294
3295- Destroy specific flow rules::
3296
3297   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3298
3299- Destroy all flow rules::
3300
3301   flow flush {port_id}
3302
3303- Query an existing flow rule::
3304
3305   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3306
3307- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3308  identifiers::
3309
3310   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3311
3312- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3313
3314   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3315
3316Validating flow rules
3317~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3318
3319``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3320underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3321bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3322
3323   flow validate {port_id}
3324      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3325      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3326      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3327
3328If successful, it will show::
3329
3330   Flow rule validated
3331
3332Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3333
3334   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3335
3336This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3337described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3338
3339Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3340index 6 is supported::
3341
3342   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3343      actions queue index 6 / end
3344   Flow rule validated
3345   testpmd>
3346
3347Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3348
3349   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3350      actions drop / end
3351   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3352   testpmd>
3353
3354Creating flow rules
3355~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3356
3357``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3358to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3359
3360   flow create {port_id}
3361      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3362      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3363      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3364
3365If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3366
3367   Flow rule #[...] created
3368
3369Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3370
3371   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3372
3373Parameters describe in the following order:
3374
3375- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3376- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3377  *end* pattern item.
3378- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3379  action.
3380
3381These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3382underlying functions.
3383
3384The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3385
3386   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3387
3388Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3389one.
3390
3391**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3392
3393Attributes
3394^^^^^^^^^^
3395
3396These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3397specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3398
3399- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3400- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3401- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3402- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3403- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3404
3405Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3406value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3407
3408   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3409
3410Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3411
3412While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3413simultaneously.
3414
3415Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3416
3417   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3418
3419Matching pattern
3420^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3421
3422A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3423items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3424
3425Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3426rte_flow_item_type``).
3427
3428The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3429below::
3430
3431   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3432
3433Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3434layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3435unlikely to match any packet::
3436
3437   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3438
3439More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3440documentation.
3441
3442Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3443``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3444
3445   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3446      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3447
3448This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3449
3450In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3451``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3452in a similar fashion.
3453
3454The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3455and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3456accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3457
3458- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3459- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3460- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3461- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3462- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask from a prefix length.
3463
3464These yield identical results::
3465
3466   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3467
3468::
3469
3470   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3471
3472::
3473
3474   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3475
3476::
3477
3478   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3479
3480::
3481
3482   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3483
3484Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3485
3486   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3487
3488Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3489
3490   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3491      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3492
3493Properties can be modified multiple times::
3494
3495   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3496
3497::
3498
3499   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

3674Actions list
3675^^^^^^^^^^^^
3676
3677A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3678`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3679terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3680
3681Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3682rte_flow_action_type``).
3683
3684Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3685
3686   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3687      actions drop / end
3688
3689Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3690there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3691queue index.
3692
3693This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3694
3695   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3696      actions queue index 6 / end
3697
3698While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3699
3700   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3701      actions queue / end
3702
3703As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3704rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3705
3706   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3707
3708::
3709
3710   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3711
3712All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3713action of a given type is taken into account::
3714
3715   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3716
3717::
3718
3719   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3720
3721::
3722
3723   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3724
3725Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3726actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3727
3728   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3729
3730::
3731
3732   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3733
3734::
3735
3736   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3737
3738Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

3911Destroying flow rules
3912~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3913
3914``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
3915by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
3916times as necessary::
3917
3918   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3919
3920If successful, it will show::
3921
3922   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
3923
3924It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
3925message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
3926
3927   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3928
3929``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
3930arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
3931
3932   flow flush {port_id}
3933
3934Any errors are reported as above.
3935
3936Creating several rules and destroying them::
3937
3938   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3939      actions queue index 2 / end
3940   Flow rule #0 created
3941   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3942      actions queue index 3 / end
3943   Flow rule #1 created
3944   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
3945   Flow rule #1 destroyed
3946   Flow rule #0 destroyed
3947   testpmd>
3948
3949The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
3950
3951   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3952      actions queue index 2 / end
3953   Flow rule #0 created
3954   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3955      actions queue index 3 / end
3956   Flow rule #1 created
3957   testpmd> flow flush 0
3958   testpmd>
3959
3960Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
3961
3962   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3963      actions queue index 2 / end
3964   Flow rule #0 created
3965   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3966      actions queue index 3 / end
3967   Flow rule #1 created
3968   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
3969   testpmd>
3970   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
3971   Flow rule #0 destroyed
3972   testpmd>
3973
3974Querying flow rules
3975~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3976
3977``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
3978ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
3979command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
3980
3981   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3982
3983If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
3984or the following message::
3985
3986   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
3987
3988Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
3989error occurred::
3990
3991   Flow rule #[...] not found
3992
3993::
3994
3995   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3996
3997Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
3998number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
3999output has the following format::
4000
4001   count:
4002    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4003    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4004    hits: [...] # number of packets
4005    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4006
4007Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4008
4009   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4010      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4011   Flow rule #4 created
4012   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4013   count:
4014    hits_set: 1
4015    bytes_set: 0
4016    hits: 386446
4017    bytes: 0
4018   testpmd>
4019
4020Listing flow rules
4021~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4022
4023``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4024filtered by group identifiers::
4025
4026   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4027
4028This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4029exist::
4030
4031   Invalid port [...]
4032
4033Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4034flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4035configured on the device::
4036
4037   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4038   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4039
4040``Attr`` column flags:
4041
4042- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4043- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4044
4045Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4046
4047   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4048      actions queue index 6 / end
4049   Flow rule #0 created
4050   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4051      actions queue index 2 / end
4052   Flow rule #1 created
4053   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4054      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4055   Flow rule #2 created
4056   testpmd> flow list 0
4057   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4058   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4059   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4060   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4061   testpmd>
4062
4063Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4064
4065   testpmd> flow list 1
4066   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4067   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4068   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4069   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4070   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4071   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4072   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4073   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4074   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4075   testpmd>
4076
4077Output can be limited to specific groups::
4078
4079   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4080   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4081   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4082   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4083   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4084   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4085   testpmd>
4086
4087Toggling isolated mode
4088~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4089
4090``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4091must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4092is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4093resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4094
4095 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4096
4097If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4098
4099 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4100    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4101
4102Or::
4103
4104 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4105    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4106
4107Otherwise, in case of error::
4108
4109   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4110
4111Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4112ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4113first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4114
4115Enabling isolated mode::
4116
4117 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4118 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4119 testpmd>
4120
4121Disabling isolated mode::
4122
4123 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4124 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4125 testpmd>
4126
4127Sample QinQ flow rules
4128~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4129
4130Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4131
4132   testpmd> port stop 0
4133   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
4134
4135The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4136
4137To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4138
4139   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
4140   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
4141   testpmd> port start 0
4142
4143Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4144
4145::
4146
4147   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4148       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4149   Flow rule #0 validated
4150
4151   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
4152       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 123 / queue index 0 / end
4153   Flow rule #0 created
4154
4155   testpmd> flow list 0
4156   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4157   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
4158
4159Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
4160
4161::
4162
4163   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4164        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end
4165   Flow rule #1 validated
4166
4167   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4168        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 1 / end
4169   Flow rule #1 created
4170
4171   testpmd> flow list 0
4172   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4173   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
4174   1       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>PF QUEUE
4175
4176Sample VXLAN encapsulation rule
4177~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4178
4179VXLAN encapsulation outer layer has default value pre-configured in testpmd
4180source code, those can be changed by using the following commands
4181
4182IPv4 VXLAN outer header::
4183
4184 testpmd> set vxlan ip-version ipv4 vni 4 udp-src 4 udp-dst 4 ip-src 127.0.0.1
4185        ip-dst 128.0.0.1 eth-src 11:11:11:11:11:11 eth-dst 22:22:22:22:22:22
4186 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions vxlan_encap /

4345BPF Functions
4346--------------
4347
4348The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
4349
4350bpf-load
4351~~~~~~~~
4352
4353Load an eBPF program as a callback for partciular RX/TX queue::
4354
4355   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
4356
4357The available load-flags are:
4358
4359* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
4360
4361* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
4362
4363* ``-``: none.
4364
4365.. note::
4366
4367   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
4368
4369For example:
4370
4371.. code-block:: console
4372
4373   cd test/bpf
4374   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
4375
4376Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1::
4377
4378.. code-block:: console
4379
4380   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4381
4382To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0::
4383
4384.. code-block:: console
4385
4386   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4387
4388bpf-unload
4389~~~~~~~~~~
4390
4391Unload previously loaded eBPF program for partciular RX/TX queue::
4392
4393   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
4394
4395For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
4396
4397.. code-block:: console
4398
4399   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
