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:

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
335
336   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
337
338

347
348   testpmd> read rxd 0 0 4
349        0x0000000B - 0x001D0180 / 0x0000000B - 0x001D0180

465
466Where:
467
468* ``type`` is the log name.
469
470* ``level`` is the log level.
471
472For example, to change the global log level::
473	testpmd> set log global (level)
474
475Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
476	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
477
478set nbport
479~~~~~~~~~~
480

485This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
486
487set nbcore
488~~~~~~~~~~
489
490Set the number of cores used by the application::
491
492   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
493
494This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
495
496.. note::
497
498   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
499
500set coremask
501~~~~~~~~~~~~
502
503Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::

533   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
534
535set txpkts
536~~~~~~~~~~
537
538Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::

549   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
550
551Where:
552
553* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
554
555* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
556  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
557  (see above).
558
559* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.

875* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
876
877* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
878  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
879  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
880
881* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
882  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, vxlan-gpe are
883  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.

895		queue_start_index (value) queue_num (value)
896
897Set flowtype mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::
898
899   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) flowtype (value)
900
901where:
902
903* For the flowtype(pctype) of packet,the specific index for each type has
904  been defined in file i40e_type.h as enum i40e_filter_pctype.
905

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

1588Port Functions
1589--------------
1590
1591The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1592
1593.. note::
1594
1595   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1596
1597port attach
1598~~~~~~~~~~~
1599
1600Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1601
1602   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1603
1604To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1605Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1606Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1607
1608For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1609
1610.. code-block:: console
1611
1612   # Check the status of the available devices.
1613   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1614
1615   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1616   ============================================
1617   <none>
1618
1619   Network devices using kernel driver
1620   ===================================
1621   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1622
1623
1624   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1625   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1626
1627
1628   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1629   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1630   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1631   ============================================
1632   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1633
1634To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1635
1636For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1637
1638.. code-block:: console
1639
1640   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0

1647   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1648   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1649   Done
1650
1651For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1652
1653.. code-block:: console
1654
1655   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1656   Attaching a new port...
1657   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1658   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1659   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1660   Done
1661
1662In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1663This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1664
1665For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1666the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1667
1668.. code-block:: console
1669
1670   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1671   Attaching a new port...
1672   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1673   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1674   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1675   Done
1676

1678port detach
1679~~~~~~~~~~~
1680
1681Detach a specific port::
1682
1683   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1684
1685Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1686
1687For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1688
1689.. code-block:: console
1690
1691   testpmd> port stop 0
1692   Stopping ports...
1693   Done

1724To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1725Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1726Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1727
1728For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1729
1730.. code-block:: console
1731
1732   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0

2057
2058   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2059
2060
2061remove bonding slave
2062~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2063
2064Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::

2919.. _testpmd_flow_director:
2920
2921flow_director_filter
2922~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2923
2924The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
2925
2926Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
2927Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
2928
2929* Perfect match filters.
2930  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2931  The masked fields are for IP flow.
2932
2933* Signature filters.
2934  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
2935
2936* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
2937  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2938  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
2939
2940* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
2941  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2942  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
2943
2944* Perfect-raw-flow-type match filters.
2945  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and pre-loaded raw (template) packet.
2946  The masked fields are specified by input sets.
2947
2948The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
2949per flow type and the flexible payload.
2950
2951The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
2952are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
2953
2954Note that for raw flow type mode the source and destination fields in the
2955raw packet buffer need to be presented in a reversed order with respect
2956to the expected received packets.
2957For example: IP source and destination addresses or TCP/UDP/SCTP
2958source and destination ports
2959
2960Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

3181Flow rules management
3182---------------------
3183
3184Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3185``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3186modes).
3187
3188Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3189features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3190not recommended.
3191
3192``flow`` syntax
3193~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3194
3195Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3196of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3197other commands, in particular:
3198
3199- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3200  token, not that of the entire command.
3201
3202- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3203  in the contextual help).
3204
3205The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3206their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3207following sections.
3208
3209- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3210
3211   flow validate {port_id}
3212       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3213       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3214       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3215
3216- Create a flow rule::
3217
3218   flow create {port_id}
3219       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3220       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3221       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3222
3223- Destroy specific flow rules::
3224
3225   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3226
3227- Destroy all flow rules::
3228
3229   flow flush {port_id}
3230
3231- Query an existing flow rule::
3232
3233   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3234
3235- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3236  identifiers::
3237
3238   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3239
3240- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3241
3242   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3243
3244Validating flow rules
3245~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3246
3247``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3248underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3249bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3250
3251   flow validate {port_id}
3252      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3253      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3254      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3255
3256If successful, it will show::
3257
3258   Flow rule validated
3259
3260Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3261
3262   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3263
3264This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3265described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3266
3267Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3268index 6 is supported::
3269
3270   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3271      actions queue index 6 / end
3272   Flow rule validated
3273   testpmd>
3274
3275Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3276
3277   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3278      actions drop / end
3279   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3280   testpmd>
3281
3282Creating flow rules
3283~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3284
3285``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3286to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3287
3288   flow create {port_id}
3289      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3290      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3291      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3292
3293If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3294
3295   Flow rule #[...] created
3296
3297Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3298
3299   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3300
3301Parameters describe in the following order:
3302
3303- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3304- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3305  *end* pattern item.
3306- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3307  action.
3308
3309These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3310underlying functions.
3311
3312The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3313
3314   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3315
3316Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3317one.
3318
3319**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3320
3321Attributes
3322^^^^^^^^^^
3323
3324These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3325specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3326
3327- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3328- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3329- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3330- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3331- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3332
3333Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3334value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3335
3336   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3337
3338Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3339
3340While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3341simultaneously.
3342
3343Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3344
3345   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3346
3347Matching pattern
3348^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3349
3350A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3351items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3352
3353Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3354rte_flow_item_type``).
3355
3356The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3357below::
3358
3359   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3360
3361Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3362layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3363unlikely to match any packet::
3364
3365   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3366
3367More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3368documentation.
3369
3370Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3371``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3372
3373   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3374      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3375
3376This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3377
3378In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3379``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3380in a similar fashion.
3381
3382The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3383and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3384accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3385
3386- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3387- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3388- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3389- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3390- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask from a prefix length.
3391
3392These yield identical results::
3393
3394   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3395
3396::
3397
3398   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3399
3400::
3401
3402   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3403
3404::
3405
3406   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3407
3408::
3409
3410   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3411
3412Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3413
3414   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3415
3416Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3417
3418   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3419      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3420
3421Properties can be modified multiple times::
3422
3423   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3424
3425::
3426
3427   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

3597
3598Actions list
3599^^^^^^^^^^^^
3600
3601A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3602`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3603terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3604
3605Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3606rte_flow_action_type``).
3607
3608Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3609
3610   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3611      actions drop / end
3612
3613Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3614there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3615queue index.
3616
3617This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3618
3619   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3620      actions queue index 6 / end
3621
3622While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3623
3624   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3625      actions queue / end
3626
3627As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3628rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3629
3630   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3631
3632::
3633
3634   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3635
3636All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3637action of a given type is taken into account::
3638
3639   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3640
3641::
3642
3643   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3644
3645::
3646
3647   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3648
3649Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3650actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3651
3652   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3653
3654::
3655
3656   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3657
3658::
3659
3660   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3661
3662Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
3663

3823Destroying flow rules
3824~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3825
3826``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
3827by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
3828times as necessary::
3829
3830   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3831
3832If successful, it will show::
3833
3834   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
3835
3836It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
3837message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
3838
3839   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3840
3841``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
3842arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
3843
3844   flow flush {port_id}
3845
3846Any errors are reported as above.
3847
3848Creating several rules and destroying them::
3849
3850   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3851      actions queue index 2 / end
3852   Flow rule #0 created
3853   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3854      actions queue index 3 / end
3855   Flow rule #1 created
3856   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
3857   Flow rule #1 destroyed
3858   Flow rule #0 destroyed
3859   testpmd>
3860
3861The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
3862
3863   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3864      actions queue index 2 / end
3865   Flow rule #0 created
3866   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3867      actions queue index 3 / end
3868   Flow rule #1 created
3869   testpmd> flow flush 0
3870   testpmd>
3871
3872Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
3873
3874   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3875      actions queue index 2 / end
3876   Flow rule #0 created
3877   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3878      actions queue index 3 / end
3879   Flow rule #1 created
3880   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
3881   testpmd>
3882   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
3883   Flow rule #0 destroyed
3884   testpmd>
3885
3886Querying flow rules
3887~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3888
3889``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
3890ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
3891command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
3892
3893   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3894
3895If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
3896or the following message::
3897
3898   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
3899
3900Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
3901error occurred::
3902
3903   Flow rule #[...] not found
3904
3905::
3906
3907   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3908
3909Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
3910number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
3911output has the following format::
3912
3913   count:
3914    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
3915    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
3916    hits: [...] # number of packets
3917    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
3918
3919Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
3920
3921   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3922      actions queue index 6 / count / end
3923   Flow rule #4 created
3924   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
3925   count:
3926    hits_set: 1
3927    bytes_set: 0
3928    hits: 386446
3929    bytes: 0
3930   testpmd>
3931
3932Listing flow rules
3933~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3934
3935``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
3936filtered by group identifiers::
3937
3938   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3939
3940This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
3941exist::
3942
3943   Invalid port [...]
3944
3945Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
3946flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
3947configured on the device::
3948
3949   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3950   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
3951
3952``Attr`` column flags:
3953
3954- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
3955- ``e`` for ``egress``.
3956
3957Creating several flow rules and listing them::
3958
3959   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3960      actions queue index 6 / end
3961   Flow rule #0 created
3962   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3963      actions queue index 2 / end
3964   Flow rule #1 created
3965   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3966      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
3967   Flow rule #2 created
3968   testpmd> flow list 0
3969   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3970   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
3971   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
3972   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
3973   testpmd>
3974
3975Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
3976
3977   testpmd> flow list 1
3978   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3979   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
3980   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
3981   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
3982   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
3983   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
3984   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
3985   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
3986   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
3987   testpmd>
3988
3989Output can be limited to specific groups::
3990
3991   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
3992   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3993   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
3994   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
3995   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
3996   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
3997   testpmd>
3998
3999Toggling isolated mode
4000~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4001
4002``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4003must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4004is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4005resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4006
4007 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4008
4009If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4010
4011 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4012    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4013
4014Or::
4015
4016 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4017    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4018
4019Otherwise, in case of error::
4020
4021   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4022
4023Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4024ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4025first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4026
4027Enabling isolated mode::
4028
4029 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4030 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4031 testpmd>
4032
4033Disabling isolated mode::
4034
4035 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4036 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4037 testpmd>
4038
4039Sample QinQ flow rules
4040~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4041
4042Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4043
4044   testpmd> port stop 0
4045   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
4046
4047The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4048
4049To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4050
4051   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
4052   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
4053   testpmd> port start 0
4054
4055Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4056
4057::
4058
4059   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4060       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4061   Flow rule #0 validated
4062
4063   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
4064       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 123 / queue index 0 / end
4065   Flow rule #0 created
4066

4070
4071Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
4072
4073::
4074
4075   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4076        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end
4077   Flow rule #1 validated
4078
4079   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4080        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 1 / end

4158
4159Load an eBPF program as a callback for partciular RX/TX queue::
4160
4161   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
4162
4163The available load-flags are:
4164
4165* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
4166
4167* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
4168
4169* ``-``: none.
4170
4171.. note::
4172
4173   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
4174
4175For example:
4176
4177.. code-block:: console
4178
4179   cd test/bpf
4180   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
4181
4182Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1::
4183
4184.. code-block:: console
4185
4186   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4187
4188To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0::
4189
4190.. code-block:: console
4191
4192   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4193
4194bpf-unload
4195~~~~~~~~~~
4196
4197Unload previously loaded eBPF program for partciular RX/TX queue::
4198
4199   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
4200
4201For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
4202
4203.. code-block:: console
4204
4205   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
