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

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

96
97
98* At run-time additional commands can be loaded in bulk by invoking the ``load FILENAME``
99  command.
100
101.. code-block:: console
102
103   testpmd> load /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
104   Flow rule #0 created
105   Flow rule #1 created

109   Flow rule #499 created
110   Read all CLI commands from /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
111   testpmd>
112
113
114In all cases output from any included command will be displayed as standard output.
115Execution will continue until the end of the file is reached regardless of
116whether any errors occur.  The end user must examine the output to determine if
117any failures occurred.

305
306   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
307   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
308   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
309   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
310   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
311   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
312   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
313
314set fwd
315~~~~~~~
316
317Set the packet forwarding mode::
318
319   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
320                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap|shared-rxq) (""|retry)
321
322``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
323
324The available information categories are:
325
326* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
327  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
328  This is the default mode.
329
330* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
331  Default application behavior is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
332  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
333  'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
334
335* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
336  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
337
338* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
339  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
340
341* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
342
343* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
344
345* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
346
347* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
348
349* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX.
350
351* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
352  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
353  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
354
355* ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
356
357  L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
358
359  L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
360
361  L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
362
363* ``shared-rxq``: Receive only for shared Rx queue.
364  Resolve packet source port from mbuf and update stream statistics accordingly.
365
366Example::
367
368   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
369
370   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
371
372
373show fwd
374~~~~~~~~
375
376When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.
377Example for the io forwarding engine, with some packet drops on the tx side::
378
379   testpmd> show fwd stats all

633Configuration Functions
634-----------------------
635
636The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
637
638This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
639
640.. note::
641
642   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
643
644set default
645~~~~~~~~~~~
646
647Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
648
649   testpmd> set default
650
651set verbose
652~~~~~~~~~~~
653
654Set the debug verbosity level::
655
656   testpmd> set verbose (level)
657
658Available levels are as following:
659
660* ``0`` silent except for error.
661* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
662* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
663* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
664
665set log
666~~~~~~~
667
668Set the log level for a log type::
669
670	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
671
672Where:
673
674* ``type`` is the log name.
675
676* ``level`` is the log level.
677
678For example, to change the global log level::
679
680	testpmd> set log global (level)
681
682Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
683
684	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
685
686set nbport
687~~~~~~~~~~
688
689Set the number of ports used by the application:
690
691set nbport (num)
692
693This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
694
695set nbcore
696~~~~~~~~~~
697
698Set the number of cores used by the application::
699
700   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
701
702This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
703
704.. note::
705
706   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
707
708set coremask
709~~~~~~~~~~~~
710
711Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
712
713   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
714
715This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
716
717.. note::
718
719   The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
720
721set portmask
722~~~~~~~~~~~~
723
724Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
725
726   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
727
728This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
729
730set record-core-cycles
731~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
732
733Set the recording of CPU cycles::
734
735   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
736
737Where:
738
739* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
740
741* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
742
743This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
744
745set record-burst-stats
746~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
747
748Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
749
750   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
751
752Where:
753
754* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
755
756* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
757
758This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
759
760set burst
761~~~~~~~~~
762
763Set number of packets per burst::
764
765   testpmd> set burst (num)
766
767This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
768
769When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
770
771   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
772
773set rxoffs
774~~~~~~~~~~
775
776Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
777if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
778offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
779
780   testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
781
782Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
783of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
784for the remaining segments.
785
786set rxpkts
787~~~~~~~~~~
788
789Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
790feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
791(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
792pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
793to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
794mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
795from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
796mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
797
798   testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
799
800Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
801means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
802
803set txpkts
804~~~~~~~~~~
805
806Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
807
808   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
809
810Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
811
812set txtimes
813~~~~~~~~~~~
814
815Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
816the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
817timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
818application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
819to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
820and between the packets within the burst::
821
822   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
823
824where:
825
826* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
827  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
828  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
829  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
830  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
831  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
832  on timestamps is disabled (default).
833
834* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
835  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
836  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
837  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
838
839As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
840delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
841the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
842and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
843and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
844rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
845
846set txsplit
847~~~~~~~~~~~
848
849Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
850
851   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
852
853Where:
854
855* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
856
857* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
858  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
859  (see above).
860
861* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
862
863set corelist
864~~~~~~~~~~~~
865
866Set the list of forwarding cores::
867
868   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
869
870For example, to change the forwarding cores:
871
872.. code-block:: console
873
874   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
875   testpmd> show config fwd
876
877   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
878   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
879   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
880   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
881   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
882
883.. note::

885   The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
886
887set portlist
888~~~~~~~~~~~~
889
890Set the list of forwarding ports::
891
892   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)

894For example, to change the port forwarding:
895
896.. code-block:: console
897
898   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
899   testpmd> show config fwd
900
901   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
902   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
903   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
904   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
905   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03

1098Disable hardware insertion of a VLAN header in packets sent on a port::
1099
1100   testpmd> tx_vlan reset (port_id)
1101
1102csum set
1103~~~~~~~~
1104
1105Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
1106transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1107
1108   testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip|outer-udp) (hw|sw) (port_id)
1109
1110Where:
1111
1112* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
1113
1114* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
1115  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gre, gtp, ipip, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1116  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1117
1118* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
1119  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gtp, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1120  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1121
1122.. note::
1123
1124   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
1125
1126csum parse-tunnel
1127~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1128
1129Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1130engine::
1131
1132   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1133
1134If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1135tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1136
1137If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1138header is handled as a packet payload).
1139
1140.. note::
1141
1142   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1143
1144Example:
1145
1146Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1147
1148   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1149
1150* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1151  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1152  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1153
1154* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1155   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1185Set tso segment size of tunneled packets for a port in csum engine::
1186
1187   testpmd> tunnel_tso set (tso_segsz) (port_id)
1188
1189tunnel tso show
1190~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1193
1194   testpmd> tunnel_tso show (port_id)
1195
1196set port - gro
1197~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1198
1199Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1200
1201   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1202
1203If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1204packets received from the given port.
1205
1206If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1207GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1208
1209.. note::
1210
1211   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1212   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1213   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1214   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1215   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1216   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1217   transmitted to.
1218
1219show port - gro
1220~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1221
1222Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1223
1224   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1225
1226set gro flush
1227~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1228
1229Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1230
1231   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1232
1233When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1234packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1235can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1236from the reassembly tables.
1237
1238The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1239engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1240operations.
1241
1242By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1243from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1244of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1245
1246Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1247stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1248stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1249
1250set port - gso
1251~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1252
1253Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1254
1255   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1256
1257If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1258packets, transmitted on the given port.
1259
1260If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1261By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1262
1263.. note::
1264
1265   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1266   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1267   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1268   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1269   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1270   GSO-enabled ports.
1271
1272   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1273   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1274
1275   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1276
1277   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1278
1279   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1280
1281   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1282   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1283   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1284   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1285   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1286   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1287
1288set gso segsz

1290
1291Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the

1804Config Raw Encapsulation
1805~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1806
1807Configure the raw data to be used when encapsulating a packet by
1808rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1809
1810 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1811
1812There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1813internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1814If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1815
1816 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1817
1818the default index ``0`` is used.

1820during the flow rule creation::
1821
1822 testpmd> flow create 0 egress pattern eth / ipv4 / end actions
1823        raw_encap index 2 / end
1824

1876Port Functions
1877--------------
1878
1879The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1880
1881.. note::
1882
1883   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1884
1885port attach
1886~~~~~~~~~~~
1887
1888Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1889
1890   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1891
1892To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1893Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1894Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1895
1896For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1897
1898.. code-block:: console
1899
1900   # Check the status of the available devices.
1901   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1902
1903   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1904   ============================================
1905   <none>
1906
1907   Network devices using kernel driver
1908   ===================================
1909   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1910
1911
1912   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1913   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1914
1915
1916   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1917   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1918   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1919   ============================================
1920   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1921
1922To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1923
1924For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1925
1926.. code-block:: console
1927
1928   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1929   Attaching a new port...
1930   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1931   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1932   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1933   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1934   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1935   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1936   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1937   Done
1938
1939For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1940
1941.. code-block:: console
1942
1943   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1944   Attaching a new port...
1945   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1946   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1947   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1948   Done
1949
1950In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1951This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1952
1953For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1954the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1955
1956.. code-block:: console
1957
1958   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1959   Attaching a new port...
1960   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1961   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1962   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1963   Done
1964
1965
1966port detach
1967~~~~~~~~~~~
1968
1969Detach a specific port::
1970
1971   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1972
1973Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1974
1975For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1976
1977.. code-block:: console
1978
1979   testpmd> port stop 0
1980   Stopping ports...
1981   Done
1982   testpmd> port close 0
1983   Closing ports...
1984   Done
1985
1986   testpmd> port detach 0
1987   Detaching a port...
1988   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1989   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1990   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1991   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1992   Done
1993
1994
1995For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1996
1997.. code-block:: console
1998
1999   testpmd> port stop 0
2000   Stopping ports...
2001   Done
2002   testpmd> port close 0
2003   Closing ports...
2004   Done
2005
2006   testpmd> port detach 0
2007   Detaching a port...
2008   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2009   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2010   Done
2011
2012To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2013Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2014Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2015
2016For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2017
2018.. code-block:: console
2019
2020   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2021
2022   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2023
2024   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver

2304The following sections show functions for device operations.
2305
2306device detach
2307~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2308
2309Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2310
2311   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2312
2313Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2314
2315For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2316
2317.. code-block:: console
2318
2319    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2320    Removing a device...
2321    Port 1 is now closed
2322    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2323    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2324    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2325    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2326    Now total ports is 1
2327
2328For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2329
2330.. code-block:: console
2331
2332    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2333    Removing a device...
2334    Port 0 is now closed
2335    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2336    Now total ports is 0
2337    Done
2338
2339In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2340This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.

2959Filter Functions
2960----------------
2961
2962This section details the available filter functions that are available.
2963
2964Note these functions interface the deprecated legacy filtering framework,
2965superseded by *rte_flow*. See `Flow rules management`_.
2966
2967.. _testpmd_flow_director:
2968
2969flow_director_mask
2970~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2971
2972Set flow director's input masks::
2973
2974   flow_director_mask (port_id) mode IP vlan (vlan_value) \
2975                      src_mask (ipv4_src) (ipv6_src) (src_port) \
2976                      dst_mask (ipv4_dst) (ipv6_dst) (dst_port)

2982                      tunnel-id (tunnel_id_value)
2983
2984Example, to set flow director mask on port 0::
2985

3007Flow rules management
3008---------------------
3009
3010Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3011``flow`` command (configuration, validation, creation, destruction, queries
3012and operation modes).
3013
3014Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3015features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3016not recommended.
3017
3018``flow`` syntax
3019~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3020
3021Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3022of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3023other commands, in particular:
3024
3025- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3026  token, not that of the entire command.
3027
3028- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3029  in the contextual help).
3030
3031The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3032their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3033following sections.

3158
3159   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3160
3161Retrieving info about flow management engine
3162~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3163
3164``flow info`` retrieves info on pre-configurable resources in the underlying
3165device to give a hint of possible values for flow engine configuration.
3166
3167``rte_flow_info_get()``::
3168
3169   flow info {port_id}
3170
3171If successful, it will show::
3172
3173   Flow engine resources on port #[...]:
3174   Number of queues: #[...]
3175   Size of queues: #[...]
3176   Number of counters: #[...]
3177   Number of aging objects: #[...]
3178   Number of meters: #[...]
3179
3180Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3181
3182   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3183
3184Configuring flow management engine
3185~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3186
3187``flow configure`` pre-allocates all the needed resources in the underlying
3188device to be used later at the flow creation. Flow queues are allocated as well
3189for asynchronous flow creation/destruction operations. It is bound to
3190``rte_flow_configure()``::
3191
3192   flow configure {port_id}
3193       [queues_number {number}] [queues_size {size}]
3194       [counters_number {number}]
3195       [aging_counters_number {number}]
3196       [meters_number {number}]
3197
3198If successful, it will show::
3199
3200   Configure flows on port #[...]: number of queues #[...] with #[...] elements
3201
3202Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3203
3204   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3205
3206Creating pattern templates
3207~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3208
3209``flow pattern_template create`` creates the specified pattern template.
3210It is bound to ``rte_flow_pattern_template_create()``::
3211
3212   flow pattern_template {port_id} create [pattern_template_id {id}]
3213       [relaxed {boolean}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3214	   template {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3215
3216If successful, it will show::
3217
3218   Pattern template #[...] created
3219
3220Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3221
3222   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3223
3224This command uses the same pattern items as ``flow create``,
3225their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3226
3227Destroying pattern templates
3228~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3229
3230``flow pattern_template destroy`` destroys one or more pattern templates
3231from their template ID (as returned by ``flow pattern_template create``),
3232this command calls ``rte_flow_pattern_template_destroy()`` as many
3233times as necessary::
3234
3235   flow pattern_template {port_id} destroy pattern_template {id} [...]
3236
3237If successful, it will show::
3238
3239   Pattern template #[...] destroyed
3240
3241It does not report anything for pattern template IDs that do not exist.
3242The usual error message is shown when a pattern template cannot be destroyed::
3243
3244   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3245
3246Creating actions templates
3247~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3248
3249``flow actions_template create`` creates the specified actions template.
3250It is bound to ``rte_flow_actions_template_create()``::
3251
3252   flow actions_template {port_id} create [actions_template_id {id}]
3253       [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3254	   template {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3255       mask {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3256
3257If successful, it will show::
3258
3259   Actions template #[...] created
3260
3261Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3262
3263   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]

3428
3429``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3430to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3431
3432   flow create {port_id}

3445
3446Parameters describe in the following order:
3447
3448- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3449- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3450- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3451  *end* pattern item.
3452- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3453  action.
3454
3455These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3456underlying functions.
3457
3458The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3459
3460   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3461
3462Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3463one.
3464
3465**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3466
3467Enqueueing creation of flow rules
3468~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3469
3470``flow queue create`` adds creation operation of a flow rule to a queue.
3471It is bound to ``rte_flow_async_create()``::
3472
3473   flow queue {port_id} create {queue_id}
3474       [postpone {boolean}] template_table {table_id}
3475       pattern_template {pattern_template_index}
3476       actions_template {actions_template_index}
3477       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3478       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3479
3480If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3481
3482   Flow rule #[...] creaion enqueued
3483
3484Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3485
3486   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3487
3488This command uses the same pattern items and actions as ``flow create``,
3489their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3490
3491``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
3492
3493Attributes
3494^^^^^^^^^^
3495
3496These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3497specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3498
3499- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3500- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3501- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3502- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3503- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3504
3505Please note that use of ``transfer`` attribute requires that the flow and
3506its indirect components be managed via so-called ``transfer`` proxy port.
3507See `show flow transfer proxy port ID for the given port`_ for details.
3508
3509Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3510value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3511
3512   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3513
3514Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3515
3516While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3517simultaneously.
3518
3519Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3520
3521   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3522
3523Tunnel offload
3524^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3525
3526Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3527
3528- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3529- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunnel offload match type.
3530
3531Matching pattern
3532^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3533
3534A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3535items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3536
3537Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3538rte_flow_item_type``).
3539
3540The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3541below::
3542
3543   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3544
3545Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3546layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3547unlikely to match any packet::
3548
3549   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3550
3551More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3552documentation.
3553
3554Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3555``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3556
3557   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3558      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3559
3560This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3561
3562In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3563``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3564in a similar fashion.
3565
3566The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3567and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3568accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3569
3570- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3571- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3572- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3573- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3574- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3575
3576These yield identical results::
3577
3578   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3579
3580::
3581
3582   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3583
3584::
3585
3586   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3587
3588::
3589
3590   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3591
3592::
3593
3594   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3595
3596Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3597
3598   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3599
3600Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3601
3602   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3603      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3604
3605Properties can be modified multiple times::
3606
3607   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3608
3609::
3610
3611   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3612

3867Actions list
3868^^^^^^^^^^^^
3869
3870A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3871`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3872terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3873
3874Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3875rte_flow_action_type``).
3876
3877Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3878
3879   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3880      actions drop / end
3881
3882Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3883there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3884queue index.
3885
3886This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3887
3888   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3889      actions queue index 6 / end
3890
3891While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3892
3893   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3894      actions queue / end
3895
3896As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3897rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3898
3899   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3900
3901::
3902
3903   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3904
3905All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3906action of a given type is taken into account::
3907
3908   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3909
3910::
3911
3912   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3913
3914::
3915
3916   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3917
3918Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3919actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3920
3921   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3922
3923::
3924
3925   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3926
3927::
3928
3929   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3930
3931Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4152Destroying flow rules
4153~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4154
4155``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4156by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4157times as necessary::
4158
4159   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4160
4161If successful, it will show::
4162
4163   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4164
4165It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4166message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4167
4168   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4169
4170``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4171arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4172
4173   flow flush {port_id}
4174
4175Any errors are reported as above.
4176
4177Creating several rules and destroying them::
4178
4179   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4180      actions queue index 2 / end
4181   Flow rule #0 created
4182   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4183      actions queue index 3 / end
4184   Flow rule #1 created
4185   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4186   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4187   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4188   testpmd>
4189
4190The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4191
4192   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4193      actions queue index 2 / end
4194   Flow rule #0 created
4195   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4196      actions queue index 3 / end
4197   Flow rule #1 created
4198   testpmd> flow flush 0
4199   testpmd>
4200
4201Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4202
4203   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4204      actions queue index 2 / end
4205   Flow rule #0 created
4206   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4207      actions queue index 3 / end
4208   Flow rule #1 created
4209   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4210   testpmd>
4211   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4212   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4213   testpmd>
4214
4215Enqueueing destruction of flow rules
4216~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4217
4218``flow queue destroy`` adds destruction operations to destroy one or more rules
4219from their rule ID (as returned by ``flow queue create``) to a queue,
4220this command calls ``rte_flow_async_destroy()`` as many times as necessary::
4221
4222   flow queue {port_id} destroy {queue_id}
4223        [postpone {boolean}] rule {rule_id} [...]
4224
4225If successful, it will show::
4226
4227   Flow rule #[...] destruction enqueued
4228
4229It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4230message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4231
4232   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4233
4234``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
4235
4236Querying flow rules
4237~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4238
4239``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4240ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4241command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4242
4243   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4244
4245If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4246or the following message::
4247
4248   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4249
4250Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4251error occurred::
4252
4253   Flow rule #[...] not found
4254
4255::
4256
4257   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4258
4259Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4260number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4261output has the following format::
4262
4263   count:
4264    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4265    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4266    hits: [...] # number of packets
4267    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4268
4269Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4270
4271   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4272      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4273   Flow rule #4 created
4274   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4275   count:
4276    hits_set: 1
4277    bytes_set: 0
4278    hits: 386446
4279    bytes: 0
4280   testpmd>
4281
4282Listing flow rules
4283~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4284
4285``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4286filtered by group identifiers::
4287
4288   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4289
4290This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4291exist::
4292
4293   Invalid port [...]
4294
4295Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4296flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4297configured on the device::
4298
4299   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4300   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4301
4302``Attr`` column flags:
4303
4304- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4305- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4306
4307Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4308
4309   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4310      actions queue index 6 / end
4311   Flow rule #0 created
4312   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4313      actions queue index 2 / end
4314   Flow rule #1 created
4315   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4316      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4317   Flow rule #2 created
4318   testpmd> flow list 0
4319   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4320   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4321   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4322   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4323   testpmd>
4324
4325Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4326
4327   testpmd> flow list 1

4349Toggling isolated mode
4350~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4351
4352``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4353must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4354is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4355resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4356
4357 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4358
4359If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4360
4361 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4362    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4363
4364Or::
4365
4366 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4367    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4368
4369Otherwise, in case of error::
4370
4371   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4372
4373Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4374ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4375first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4376
4377Enabling isolated mode::
4378
4379 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4380 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4381 testpmd>
4382
4383Disabling isolated mode::
4384
4385 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4386 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4387 testpmd>
4388
4389Dumping HW internal information
4390~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4391
4392``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4393all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4394
4395   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4396
4397If successful, it will show::
4398
4399   Flow dump finished
4400
4401Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4402
4403   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4404
4405Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4406~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4407
4408``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4409and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4410
4411   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4412
4413Listing current aged flow rules::
4414
4415   testpmd> flow aged 0
4416   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4417   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4418      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4419   Flow rule #0 created
4420   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4421      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4422   Flow rule #1 created
4423   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4424      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4425   Flow rule #2 created
4426   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4427      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4428   Flow rule #3 created
4429
4430
4431Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4432information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4433those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4434will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4435
4436   testpmd> flow aged 0
4437   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4438   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4439   2       0       0       i--
4440   3       0       0       i--
4441   1       0       0       i--
4442   0       0       0       i--
4443
4444If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.
4445
4446   testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
4447   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4448   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4449   2       0       0       i--
4450   3       0       0       i--
4451   1       0       0       i--
4452   0       0       0       i--
4453
4454   Flow rule #2 destroyed
4455   Flow rule #3 destroyed
4456   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4457   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4458   4 flows be destroyed
4459   testpmd> flow aged 0
4460   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4461

5231BPF Functions
5232--------------
5233
5234The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5235
5236bpf-load
5237~~~~~~~~
5238
5239Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5240
5241   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5242
5243The available load-flags are:
5244
5245* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5246
5247* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5248
5249* ``-``: none.
5250
5251.. note::
5252
5253   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5254
5255For example:
5256
5257.. code-block:: console
5258
5259   cd examples/bpf
5260   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5261
5262Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5263
5264.. code-block:: console
5265
5266   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5267
5268To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5269
5270.. code-block:: console
5271
5272   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5273
5274bpf-unload
5275~~~~~~~~~~
5276
5277Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5278
5279   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5280
5281For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5282
5283.. code-block:: console
5284
5285   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5286
5287Flex Item Functions
5288-------------------
5289
5290The following sections show functions that configure and create flex item object,
5291create flex pattern and use it in a flow rule.
5292The commands will use 20 bytes IPv4 header for examples:
5293
5294::
5295
5296   0                   1                   2                   3

5311Create flex item
5312~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5313
5314Flex item object is created by PMD according to a new header configuration. The
5315header configuration is compiled by the testpmd and stored in
5316``rte_flow_item_flex_conf`` type variable.
5317
5318::
5319
5320   # flow flex_item create <port> <flex id> <configuration file>
5321   testpmd> flow flex_item init 0 3 ipv4_flex_config.json
5322   port-0: created flex item #3
5323
5324Flex item configuration is kept in external JSON file.
5325It describes the following header elements:
5326
5327**New header length.**
5328
5329Specify whether the new header has fixed or variable length and the basic/minimal
5330header length value.
5331
5332If header length is not fixed, header location with a value that completes header
5333length calculation and scale/offset function must be added.
5334
5335Scale function depends on port hardware.
5336
5337**Next protocol.**
5338
5339Describes location in the new header that specify following network header type.
5340
5341**Flow match samples.**
5342
5343Describes locations in the new header that will be used in flow rules.
5344
5345Number of flow samples and sample maximal length depend of port hardware.
5346
5347**Input trigger.**
5348
5349Describes preceding network header configuration.
5350
5351**Output trigger.**
5352
5353Describes conditions that trigger transfer to following network header
5354
5355.. code-block:: json
5356
5357   {
5358      "next_header": { "field_mode": "FIELD_MODE_FIXED", "field_size": 20},

5377
5378Flex pattern and flow rules
5379~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5380
5381Flex pattern describe parts of network header that will trigger flex flow item hit in a flow rule.
5382Flex pattern directly related to flex item samples configuration.
5383Flex pattern can be shared between ports.
5384
5385**Flex pattern and flow rule to match IPv4 version and 20 bytes length**
5386
5387::
5388
5389   # set flex_pattern <pattern_id> is <hex bytes sequence>
5390   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 5 is 45FF
5391   created pattern #5
5392
5393   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / flex item is 3 pattern is 5 / end actions mark id 1 / queue index 0 / end
5394   Flow rule #0 created
5395
5396**Flex pattern and flow rule to match packets with source address 1.2.3.4**
5397
5398::
5399
5400   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 2 spec 45000000000000000000000001020304 mask FF0000000000000000000000FFFFFFFF
5401   created pattern #2
5402
5403   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / flex item is 3 pattern is 2 / end actions mark id 1 / queue index 0 / end
5404   Flow rule #0 created
