6Testpmd Runtime Functions
7=========================
8
9Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
10it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
11configure the application, display statistics (including the extended NIC
12statistics aka xstats) , set the Flow Director and other tasks::
13
14   testpmd>
15
16The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
17Common bash command-line functions such as ``Ctrl+a`` and ``Ctrl+e`` to go to the start and end of the prompt line are supported
18as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
19
20There is also support for tab completion.
21If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
22
23.. code-block:: console
24
25   testpmd> show port <TAB>
26
27       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
28       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
29       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
30       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
31       ...
32
33
34.. note::
35
36   Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
37
38      testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
39               (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
40
41In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
42
43Help Functions
44--------------
45
46The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
47These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
48
49.. code-block:: console
50
51   testpmd> help
52
53       help control    : Start and stop forwarding.
54       help display    : Displaying port, stats and config information.
55       help config     : Configuration information.
56       help ports      : Configuring ports.
57       help registers  : Reading and setting port registers.
58       help filters    : Filters configuration help.
59       help all        : All of the above sections.
60
61
62Command File Functions
63----------------------
64
65To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
66practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
67
68* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
69  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
70  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
71
72.. code-block:: console
73
74   ./testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

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

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

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

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

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

538
539   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
540
541set txpkts
542~~~~~~~~~~
543
544Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
545

547
548Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
549
550set txsplit
551~~~~~~~~~~~
552
553Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
554
555   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
556
557Where:
558
559* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
560
561* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
562  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
563  (see above).
564
565* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
566
567set corelist
568~~~~~~~~~~~~
569
570Set the list of forwarding cores::
571

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2327
2328Set the value of a port register::
2329
2330   testpmd> write reg (port_id) (address) (value)
2331
2332For example, to clear a register::
2333
2334   testpmd> write reg 0 0xEE00 0x0
2335   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000000 (0)
2336

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

3031.. _testpmd_flow_director:
3032
3033flow_director_filter
3034~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3035
3036The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
3037
3038Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
3039Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
3040
3041* Perfect match filters.
3042  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3043  The masked fields are for IP flow.
3044
3045* Signature filters.
3046  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
3047
3048* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
3049  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3050  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
3051
3052* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
3053  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3054  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
3055
3056* Perfect-raw-flow-type match filters.
3057  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and pre-loaded raw (template) packet.
3058  The masked fields are specified by input sets.
3059
3060The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
3061per flow type and the flexible payload.
3062
3063The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
3064are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
3065
3066Note that for raw flow type mode the source and destination fields in the
3067raw packet buffer need to be presented in a reversed order with respect
3068to the expected received packets.
3069For example: IP source and destination addresses or TCP/UDP/SCTP
3070source and destination ports
3071
3072Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

3292
3293Flow rules management
3294---------------------
3295
3296Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3297``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3298modes).
3299
3300Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3301features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3302not recommended.
3303
3304``flow`` syntax
3305~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3306
3307Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3308of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3309other commands, in particular:
3310
3311- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3312  token, not that of the entire command.
3313
3314- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3315  in the contextual help).
3316
3317The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3318their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3319following sections.
3320
3321- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
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
3328- Create a flow rule::
3329
3330   flow create {port_id}
3331       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3332       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3333       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3334
3335- Destroy specific flow rules::
3336
3337   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3338
3339- Destroy all flow rules::
3340
3341   flow flush {port_id}
3342
3343- Query an existing flow rule::
3344
3345   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3346
3347- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3348  identifiers::
3349
3350   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3351
3352- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3353
3354   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3355
3356Validating flow rules
3357~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3358
3359``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3360underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3361bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3362
3363   flow validate {port_id}
3364      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3365      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3366      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3367
3368If successful, it will show::
3369
3370   Flow rule validated
3371
3372Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3373
3374   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3375
3376This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3377described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3378
3379Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3380index 6 is supported::
3381
3382   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3383      actions queue index 6 / end
3384   Flow rule validated
3385   testpmd>
3386
3387Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3388
3389   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3390      actions drop / end
3391   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3392   testpmd>
3393
3394Creating flow rules
3395~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3396
3397``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3398to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3399
3400   flow create {port_id}
3401      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3402      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3403      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3404
3405If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3406
3407   Flow rule #[...] created
3408
3409Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3410
3411   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3412
3413Parameters describe in the following order:
3414
3415- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3416- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3417  *end* pattern item.
3418- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3419  action.
3420
3421These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3422underlying functions.
3423
3424The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3425
3426   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3427
3428Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3429one.
3430
3431**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3432
3433Attributes
3434^^^^^^^^^^
3435
3436These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3437specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3438
3439- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3440- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3441- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3442- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3443- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3444
3445Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3446value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3447
3448   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3449
3450Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3451
3452While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3453simultaneously.
3454
3455Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3456
3457   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3458
3459Matching pattern
3460^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3461
3462A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3463items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3464
3465Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3466rte_flow_item_type``).
3467
3468The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3469below::
3470
3471   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3472
3473Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3474layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3475unlikely to match any packet::
3476
3477   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3478
3479More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3480documentation.
3481
3482Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3483``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3484
3485   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3486      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3487
3488This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3489
3490In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3491``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3492in a similar fashion.
3493
3494The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3495and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3496accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3497
3498- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3499- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3500- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3501- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3502- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask from a prefix length.
3503
3504These yield identical results::
3505
3506   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3507
3508::
3509
3510   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3511
3512::
3513
3514   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3515
3516::
3517
3518   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3519
3520::
3521
3522   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3523
3524Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3525
3526   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3527
3528Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3529
3530   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3531      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3532
3533Properties can be modified multiple times::
3534
3535   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3536
3537::
3538
3539   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

3714Actions list
3715^^^^^^^^^^^^
3716
3717A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3718`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3719terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3720
3721Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3722rte_flow_action_type``).
3723
3724Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3725
3726   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3727      actions drop / end
3728
3729Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3730there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3731queue index.
3732
3733This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3734
3735   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3736      actions queue index 6 / end
3737
3738While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3739
3740   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3741      actions queue / end
3742
3743As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3744rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3745
3746   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3747
3748::
3749
3750   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3751
3752All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3753action of a given type is taken into account::
3754
3755   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3756
3757::
3758
3759   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3760
3761::
3762
3763   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3764
3765Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3766actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3767
3768   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3769
3770::
3771
3772   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3773
3774::
3775
3776   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3777
3778Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

3957Destroying flow rules
3958~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3959
3960``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
3961by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
3962times as necessary::
3963
3964   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3965
3966If successful, it will show::
3967
3968   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
3969
3970It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
3971message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
3972
3973   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3974
3975``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
3976arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
3977
3978   flow flush {port_id}
3979
3980Any errors are reported as above.
3981
3982Creating several rules and destroying them::
3983
3984   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3985      actions queue index 2 / end
3986   Flow rule #0 created
3987   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3988      actions queue index 3 / end
3989   Flow rule #1 created
3990   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
3991   Flow rule #1 destroyed
3992   Flow rule #0 destroyed
3993   testpmd>
3994
3995The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
3996
3997   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3998      actions queue index 2 / end
3999   Flow rule #0 created
4000   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4001      actions queue index 3 / end
4002   Flow rule #1 created
4003   testpmd> flow flush 0
4004   testpmd>
4005
4006Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4007
4008   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4009      actions queue index 2 / end
4010   Flow rule #0 created
4011   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4012      actions queue index 3 / end
4013   Flow rule #1 created
4014   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4015   testpmd>
4016   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4017   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4018   testpmd>
4019
4020Querying flow rules
4021~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4022
4023``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4024ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4025command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4026
4027   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4028
4029If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4030or the following message::
4031
4032   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4033
4034Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4035error occurred::
4036
4037   Flow rule #[...] not found
4038
4039::
4040
4041   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4042
4043Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4044number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4045output has the following format::
4046
4047   count:
4048    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4049    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4050    hits: [...] # number of packets
4051    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4052
4053Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4054
4055   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4056      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4057   Flow rule #4 created
4058   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4059   count:
4060    hits_set: 1
4061    bytes_set: 0
4062    hits: 386446
4063    bytes: 0
4064   testpmd>
4065
4066Listing flow rules
4067~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4068
4069``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4070filtered by group identifiers::
4071
4072   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4073
4074This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4075exist::
4076
4077   Invalid port [...]
4078
4079Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4080flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4081configured on the device::
4082
4083   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4084   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4085
4086``Attr`` column flags:
4087
4088- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4089- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4090
4091Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4092
4093   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4094      actions queue index 6 / end
4095   Flow rule #0 created
4096   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4097      actions queue index 2 / end
4098   Flow rule #1 created
4099   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4100      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4101   Flow rule #2 created
4102   testpmd> flow list 0
4103   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4104   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4105   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4106   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4107   testpmd>
4108
4109Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4110
4111   testpmd> flow list 1
4112   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4113   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4114   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4115   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4116   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4117   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4118   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4119   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4120   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4121   testpmd>
4122
4123Output can be limited to specific groups::
4124
4125   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4126   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4127   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4128   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4129   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4130   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4131   testpmd>
4132
4133Toggling isolated mode
4134~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4135
4136``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4137must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4138is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4139resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4140
4141 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4142
4143If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4144
4145 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4146    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4147
4148Or::
4149
4150 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4151    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4152
4153Otherwise, in case of error::
4154
4155   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4156
4157Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4158ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4159first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4160
4161Enabling isolated mode::
4162
4163 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4164 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4165 testpmd>
4166
4167Disabling isolated mode::
4168
4169 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4170 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4171 testpmd>
4172
4173Sample QinQ flow rules
4174~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4175
4176Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4177
4178   testpmd> port stop 0
4179   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
4180
4181The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4182
4183To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4184
4185   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
4186   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
4187   testpmd> port start 0
4188
4189Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4190
4191::
4192
4193   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4194       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4195   Flow rule #0 validated
4196

4459BPF Functions
4460--------------
4461
4462The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
4463
4464bpf-load
4465~~~~~~~~
4466
4467Load an eBPF program as a callback for partciular RX/TX queue::
4468
4469   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
4470
4471The available load-flags are:
4472
4473* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
4474
4475* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
4476
4477* ``-``: none.
4478
4479.. note::
4480
4481   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
4482
4483For example:
4484
4485.. code-block:: console
4486
4487   cd test/bpf
4488   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
4489
4490Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1::
4491
4492.. code-block:: console
4493
4494   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4495
4496To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0::
4497
4498.. code-block:: console
4499
4500   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4501
4502bpf-unload
4503~~~~~~~~~~
4504
4505Unload previously loaded eBPF program for partciular RX/TX queue::
4506
4507   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
4508
4509For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
4510
4511.. code-block:: console
4512
4513   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4514
