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
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.

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   ./dpdk-testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

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

302
303   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
304   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
305   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
306   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
307   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
308   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
309   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
310
311set fwd
312~~~~~~~
313
314Set the packet forwarding mode::
315
316   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
317                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap) (""|retry)
318
319``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
320
321The available information categories are:
322
323* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
324  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
325  This is the default mode.
326
327* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
328  Default application behavior is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
329  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
330  'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
331
332* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
333  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
334
335* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
336  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
337
338* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
339
340* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
341
342* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
343
344* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
345
346* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX.
347
348* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
349  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
350  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
351
352* ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
353
354  L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
355
356  L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
357
358  L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
359
360Example::
361
362   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
363
364   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
365
366
367show fwd
368~~~~~~~~
369
370When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.

639Configuration Functions
640-----------------------
641
642The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
643
644This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
645
646.. note::
647
648   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
649
650set default
651~~~~~~~~~~~
652
653Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
654
655   testpmd> set default
656
657set verbose
658~~~~~~~~~~~
659
660Set the debug verbosity level::
661
662   testpmd> set verbose (level)
663
664Available levels are as following:
665
666* ``0`` silent except for error.
667* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
668* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
669* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
670
671set log
672~~~~~~~
673
674Set the log level for a log type::
675
676	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
677
678Where:
679
680* ``type`` is the log name.
681
682* ``level`` is the log level.
683
684For example, to change the global log level::
685
686	testpmd> set log global (level)
687
688Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
689
690	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
691
692set nbport
693~~~~~~~~~~
694
695Set the number of ports used by the application:
696
697set nbport (num)
698
699This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
700
701set nbcore
702~~~~~~~~~~
703
704Set the number of cores used by the application::
705
706   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
707
708This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
709
710.. note::
711
712   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
713
714set coremask
715~~~~~~~~~~~~
716
717Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
718
719   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
720
721This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
722
723.. note::
724
725   The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
726
727set portmask
728~~~~~~~~~~~~
729
730Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
731
732   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
733
734This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
735
736set record-core-cycles
737~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
738
739Set the recording of CPU cycles::
740
741   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
742
743Where:
744
745* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
746
747* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
748
749This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
750
751set record-burst-stats
752~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
753
754Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
755
756   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
757
758Where:
759
760* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
761
762* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
763
764This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
765
766set burst
767~~~~~~~~~
768
769Set number of packets per burst::
770
771   testpmd> set burst (num)
772
773This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
774
775When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
776
777   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
778
779set rxoffs
780~~~~~~~~~~
781
782Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
783if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
784offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
785
786   testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
787
788Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
789of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
790for the remaining segments.
791
792set rxpkts
793~~~~~~~~~~
794
795Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
796feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
797(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
798pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
799to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
800mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
801from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
802mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
803
804   testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
805
806Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
807means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
808
809set txpkts
810~~~~~~~~~~
811
812Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
813
814   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
815
816Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
817
818set txtimes
819~~~~~~~~~~~
820
821Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
822the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
823timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
824application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
825to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
826and between the packets within the burst::
827
828   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
829
830where:
831
832* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
833  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
834  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
835  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
836  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
837  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
838  on timestamps is disabled (default).
839
840* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
841  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
842  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
843  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
844
845As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
846delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
847the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
848and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
849and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
850rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
851
852set txsplit
853~~~~~~~~~~~
854
855Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
856
857   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
858
859Where:
860
861* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
862
863* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
864  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
865  (see above).
866
867* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
868
869set corelist
870~~~~~~~~~~~~
871
872Set the list of forwarding cores::
873
874   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
875
876For example, to change the forwarding cores:
877
878.. code-block:: console
879
880   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
881   testpmd> show config fwd
882
883   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
884   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
885   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
886   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
887   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
888
889.. note::

891   The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
892
893set portlist
894~~~~~~~~~~~~
895
896Set the list of forwarding ports::
897
898   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)

903
904   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
905   testpmd> show config fwd
906
907   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
908   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
909   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
910   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
911   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03

1135  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gre, gtp, ipip, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1136  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1137
1138* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
1139  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gtp, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1140  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1141
1142.. note::
1143
1144   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
1145

1169   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region flush (on|off)
1170
1171where:
1172
1173* ``on``: is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
1174  it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
1175  at first will only keep in DPDK software stored in driver,
1176  only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.
1177
1178* ``"off``: is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
1179  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
1180
1181Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
1182
1183   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
1184
1185.. note::
1186
1187  Queue region only support on PF by now, so these command is
1188  only for configuration of queue region on PF port.
1189
1190csum parse-tunnel
1191~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1192
1193Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1194engine::
1195
1196   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1197
1198If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1199tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1200
1201If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1202header is handled as a packet payload).
1203
1204.. note::
1205
1206   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1207
1208Example:
1209
1210Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1211
1212   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1213
1214* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1215  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1216  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1217
1218* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1219   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1260set port - gro
1261~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1262
1263Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1264
1265   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1266
1267If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1268packets received from the given port.
1269
1270If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1271GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1272
1273.. note::
1274
1275   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1276   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1277   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1278   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1279   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1280   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1281   transmitted to.
1282
1283show port - gro
1284~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1285
1286Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1287
1288   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1289
1290set gro flush
1291~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1292
1293Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1294
1295   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1296
1297When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1298packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1299can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1300from the reassembly tables.
1301
1302The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1303engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1304operations.
1305
1306By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1307from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1308of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1309
1310Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1311stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1312stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1313
1314set port - gso
1315~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1316
1317Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1318
1319   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1320
1321If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1322packets, transmitted on the given port.
1323
1324If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1325By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1326
1327.. note::
1328
1329   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1330   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1331   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1332   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1333   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1334   GSO-enabled ports.
1335
1336   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1337   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1338
1339   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1340
1341   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1342
1343   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1344
1345   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1346   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1347   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1348   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1349   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1350   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1351
1352set gso segsz

1955rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1956
1957 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1958
1959There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1960internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1961If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1962
1963 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1964
1965the default index ``0`` is used.

2023Port Functions
2024--------------
2025
2026The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
2027
2028.. note::
2029
2030   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
2031
2032port attach
2033~~~~~~~~~~~
2034
2035Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2036
2037   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
2038
2039To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
2040Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
2041Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
2042
2043For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
2044
2045.. code-block:: console
2046
2047   # Check the status of the available devices.
2048   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2049
2050   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2051   ============================================
2052   <none>
2053
2054   Network devices using kernel driver
2055   ===================================
2056   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
2057
2058
2059   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
2060   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
2061
2062
2063   # Recheck the status of the devices.
2064   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2065   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2066   ============================================
2067   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
2068
2069To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2070
2071For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
2072
2073.. code-block:: console
2074
2075   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
2076   Attaching a new port...
2077   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2078   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2079   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2080   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2081   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
2082   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
2083   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2084   Done
2085
2086For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
2087
2088.. code-block:: console
2089
2090   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
2091   Attaching a new port...
2092   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
2093   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
2094   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2095   Done
2096
2097In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2098This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2099
2100For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
2101the mode and slave parameters must be given.
2102
2103.. code-block:: console
2104
2105   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
2106   Attaching a new port...
2107   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
2108   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
2109   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2110   Done
2111
2112
2113port detach
2114~~~~~~~~~~~
2115
2116Detach a specific port::
2117
2118   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
2119
2120Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
2121
2122For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
2123
2124.. code-block:: console
2125
2126   testpmd> port stop 0
2127   Stopping ports...
2128   Done
2129   testpmd> port close 0
2130   Closing ports...
2131   Done
2132
2133   testpmd> port detach 0
2134   Detaching a port...
2135   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2136   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2137   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2138   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2139   Done
2140
2141
2142For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2143
2144.. code-block:: console
2145
2146   testpmd> port stop 0
2147   Stopping ports...
2148   Done
2149   testpmd> port close 0
2150   Closing ports...
2151   Done
2152
2153   testpmd> port detach 0
2154   Detaching a port...
2155   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2156   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2157   Done
2158
2159To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2160Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2161Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2162
2163For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2164
2165.. code-block:: console
2166
2167   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2168
2169   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

2254Set number of queues/descriptors for rxq, txq, rxd and txd::
2255
2256   testpmd> port config all (rxq|txq|rxd|txd) (value)
2257
2258This is equivalent to the ``--rxq``, ``--txq``, ``--rxd`` and ``--txd`` command-line options.
2259
2260port config - max-pkt-len
2261~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2262

2284
2285Packet dropping when no receive buffers available is off by default.
2286
2287The ``on`` option is equivalent to the ``--enable-drop-en`` command-line option.
2288
2289port config - RSS
2290~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2291
2292Set the RSS (Receive Side Scaling) mode on or off::

2295
2296RSS is on by default.
2297
2298The ``all`` option is equivalent to eth|vlan|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|l2tpv3|esp|ah|pfcp.
2299
2300The ``default`` option enables all supported RSS types reported by device info.

2318The traffic class should be 4 or 8.
2319
2320port config - Burst
2321~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2322
2323Set the number of packets per burst::
2324

2408
2409port config dynf
2410~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2411
2412Set/clear dynamic flag per port.
2413testpmd will register this flag in the mbuf (same registration
2414for both Tx and Rx). Then set/clear this flag for each Tx
2415packet sent from this port. The set bit only works for Tx packet::
2416
2417   testpmd> port config (port_id) dynf (name) (set|clear)

2448Device Functions
2449----------------
2450
2451The following sections show functions for device operations.
2452
2453device detach
2454~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2455
2456Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2457
2458   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2459
2460Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2461
2462For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2463
2464.. code-block:: console
2465
2466    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2467    Removing a device...
2468    Port 1 is now closed
2469    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2470    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2471    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2472    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2473    Now total ports is 1
2474
2475For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2476
2477.. code-block:: console
2478
2479    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2480    Removing a device...
2481    Port 0 is now closed
2482    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2483    Now total ports is 0
2484    Done
2485
2486In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2487This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2488
2489Link Bonding Functions
2490----------------------
2491
2492The Link Bonding functions make it possible to dynamically create and
2493manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.

2512   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2513
2514For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2515
2516   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2517
2518
2519remove bonding slave
2520~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2521
2522Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2523

2569
2570For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2571
2572   testpmd> set bonding balance_xmit_policy 10 l34
2573
2574
2575set bonding mon_period
2576~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2579
2580This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2581When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2582link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2583
2584   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
2585
2586For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::

2612
2613   testpmd> show bonding config (port id)
2614
2615For example,
2616to show the configuration a Link Bonding device (port 9) with 3 slave devices (1, 3, 4)
2617in balance mode with a transmission policy of layer 2+3::
2618
2619   testpmd> show bonding config 9
2620        Bonding mode: 2
2621        Balance Xmit Policy: BALANCE_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER23

3289modes).
3290
3291Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3292features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3293not recommended.
3294
3295``flow`` syntax
3296~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3297
3298Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3299of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3300other commands, in particular:
3301
3302- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3303  token, not that of the entire command.
3304
3305- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3306  in the contextual help).
3307
3308The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3309their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3310following sections.
3311
3312- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3313
3314   flow validate {port_id}
3315       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3316       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3317       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3318
3319- Create a flow rule::
3320
3321   flow create {port_id}
3322       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3323       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3324       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3325
3326- Destroy specific flow rules::
3327
3328   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3329
3330- Destroy all flow rules::
3331
3332   flow flush {port_id}
3333
3334- Query an existing flow rule::
3335
3336   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3337
3338- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3339  identifiers::
3340
3341   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3342
3343- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3344
3345   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3346
3347- Dump internal representation information of all flows in hardware::
3348
3349   flow dump {port_id} all {output_file}
3350
3351  for one flow::
3352
3353   flow dump {port_id} rule {rule_id} {output_file}
3354
3355- List and destroy aged flow rules::
3356
3357   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
3358
3359- Tunnel offload - create a tunnel stub::
3360
3361   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3362
3363- Tunnel offload - destroy a tunnel stub::
3364
3365   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3366
3367- Tunnel offload - list port tunnel stubs::
3368
3369   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3370
3371Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3372~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3373
3374``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3375
3376   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3377
3378If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3379
3380   port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3381
3382Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3383
3384Destroying tunnel offload stub
3385~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3386
3387``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3388
3389   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3390
3391Listing tunnel offload stubs
3392~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3393
3394``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3395
3396   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3397
3398Validating flow rules
3399~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3400
3401``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3402underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3403bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3404
3405   flow validate {port_id}
3406      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3407      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3408      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3409
3410If successful, it will show::
3411
3412   Flow rule validated
3413
3414Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3415
3416   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3417
3418This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3419described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3420
3421Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3422index 6 is supported::
3423
3424   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3425      actions queue index 6 / end
3426   Flow rule validated
3427   testpmd>
3428
3429Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3430
3431   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3432      actions drop / end
3433   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3434   testpmd>
3435
3436Creating flow rules
3437~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3438
3439``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3440to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3441
3442   flow create {port_id}
3443      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3444      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3445      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3446      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3447
3448If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3449
3450   Flow rule #[...] created
3451
3452Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3453
3454   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3455
3456Parameters describe in the following order:
3457
3458- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3459- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3460- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3461  *end* pattern item.
3462- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3463  action.
3464
3465These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3466underlying functions.
3467
3468The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3469
3470   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3471
3472Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3473one.
3474
3475**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3476
3477Attributes
3478^^^^^^^^^^
3479
3480These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3481specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3482
3483- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3484- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3485- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3486- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3487- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3488
3489Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3490value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3491
3492   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3493
3494Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3495
3496While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3497simultaneously.
3498
3499Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3500
3501   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3502
3503Tunnel offload
3504^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3505
3506Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3507
3508- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3509- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunel offload match type.
3510
3511Matching pattern
3512^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3513
3514A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3515items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3516
3517Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3518rte_flow_item_type``).
3519
3520The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3521below::
3522
3523   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3524
3525Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3526layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3527unlikely to match any packet::
3528
3529   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3530
3531More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3532documentation.
3533
3534Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3535``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3536
3537   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3538      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3539
3540This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3541
3542In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3543``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3544in a similar fashion.
3545
3546The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3547and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3548accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3549
3550- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3551- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3552- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3553- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3554- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3555
3556These yield identical results::
3557
3558   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3559
3560::
3561
3562   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3563
3564::
3565
3566   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3567
3568::
3569
3570   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3571
3572::
3573
3574   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3575
3576Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3577
3578   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3579
3580Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3581
3582   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3583      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3584
3585Properties can be modified multiple times::
3586
3587   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3588
3589::
3590
3591   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3592

3813
3814Actions list
3815^^^^^^^^^^^^
3816
3817A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3818`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3819terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3820
3821Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3822rte_flow_action_type``).
3823
3824Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3825
3826   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3827      actions drop / end
3828
3829Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3830there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3831queue index.
3832
3833This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3834
3835   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3836      actions queue index 6 / end
3837
3838While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3839
3840   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3841      actions queue / end
3842
3843As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3844rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3845
3846   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3847
3848::
3849
3850   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3851
3852All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3853action of a given type is taken into account::
3854
3855   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3856
3857::
3858
3859   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3860
3861::
3862
3863   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3864
3865Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3866actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3867
3868   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3869
3870::
3871
3872   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3873
3874::
3875
3876   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3877
3878Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4085Destroying flow rules
4086~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4087
4088``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4089by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4090times as necessary::
4091
4092   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4093
4094If successful, it will show::
4095
4096   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4097
4098It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4099message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4100
4101   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4102
4103``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4104arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4105
4106   flow flush {port_id}
4107
4108Any errors are reported as above.
4109
4110Creating several rules and destroying them::
4111
4112   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4113      actions queue index 2 / end
4114   Flow rule #0 created
4115   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4116      actions queue index 3 / end
4117   Flow rule #1 created
4118   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4119   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4120   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4121   testpmd>
4122
4123The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4124
4125   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4126      actions queue index 2 / end
4127   Flow rule #0 created
4128   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4129      actions queue index 3 / end
4130   Flow rule #1 created
4131   testpmd> flow flush 0
4132   testpmd>
4133
4134Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4135
4136   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4137      actions queue index 2 / end
4138   Flow rule #0 created
4139   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4140      actions queue index 3 / end
4141   Flow rule #1 created
4142   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4143   testpmd>
4144   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4145   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4146   testpmd>
4147
4148Querying flow rules
4149~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4150
4151``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4152ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4153command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4154
4155   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4156
4157If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4158or the following message::
4159
4160   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4161
4162Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4163error occurred::
4164
4165   Flow rule #[...] not found
4166
4167::
4168
4169   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4170
4171Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4172number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4173output has the following format::
4174
4175   count:
4176    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4177    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4178    hits: [...] # number of packets
4179    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4180
4181Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4182
4183   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4184      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4185   Flow rule #4 created
4186   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4187   count:
4188    hits_set: 1
4189    bytes_set: 0
4190    hits: 386446
4191    bytes: 0
4192   testpmd>
4193
4194Listing flow rules
4195~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4196
4197``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4198filtered by group identifiers::
4199
4200   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4201
4202This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4203exist::
4204
4205   Invalid port [...]
4206
4207Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4208flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4209configured on the device::
4210
4211   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4212   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4213
4214``Attr`` column flags:
4215
4216- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4217- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4218
4219Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4220
4221   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4222      actions queue index 6 / end
4223   Flow rule #0 created
4224   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4225      actions queue index 2 / end
4226   Flow rule #1 created
4227   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4228      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4229   Flow rule #2 created
4230   testpmd> flow list 0
4231   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4232   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4233   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4234   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4235   testpmd>
4236
4237Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4238
4239   testpmd> flow list 1
4240   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4241   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4242   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4243   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4244   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4245   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4246   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4247   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4248   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4249   testpmd>
4250
4251Output can be limited to specific groups::
4252
4253   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4254   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4255   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4256   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4257   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4258   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4259   testpmd>
4260
4261Toggling isolated mode
4262~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4263
4264``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4265must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4266is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4267resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4268
4269 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4270
4271If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4272
4273 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4274    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4275
4276Or::
4277
4278 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4279    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4280
4281Otherwise, in case of error::
4282
4283   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4284
4285Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4286ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4287first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4288
4289Enabling isolated mode::
4290
4291 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4292 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4293 testpmd>
4294
4295Disabling isolated mode::
4296
4297 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4298 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4299 testpmd>
4300
4301Dumping HW internal information
4302~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4303
4304``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4305all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4306
4307   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4308
4309If successful, it will show::
4310
4311   Flow dump finished
4312
4313Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4314
4315   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4316
4317Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4318~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4319
4320``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4321and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4322
4323   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4324
4325Listing current aged flow rules::
4326
4327   testpmd> flow aged 0
4328   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4329   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4330      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4331   Flow rule #0 created
4332   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4333      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4334   Flow rule #1 created
4335   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end

4343Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4344information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4345those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4346will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4347
4348   testpmd> flow aged 0
4349   Port 0 total aged flows: 4

4374Creating indirect actions
4375~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4376
4377``flow indirect_action {port_id} create`` creates indirect action with optional
4378indirect action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_create()``::
4379
4380   flow indirect_action {port_id} create [action_id {indirect_action_id}]
4381      [ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
4382
4383If successful, it will show::
4384
4385   Indirect action #[...] created
4386
4387Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action already exists or that
4388some error occurred::
4389
4390   Indirect action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4391
4392::
4393
4394   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4395
4396Create indirect rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4397
4398   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id 100 \
4399      ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
4400
4401Create indirect rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
4402port 0::
4403
4404	testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id \
4405		ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4406
4407Updating indirect actions
4408~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4409
4410``flow indirect_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the indirect
4411action from its indirect action ID (as returned by
4412``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4413``rte_flow_action_handle_update()``::
4414
4415   flow indirect_action {port_id} update {indirect_action_id}
4416      action {action} / end
4417
4418If successful, it will show::
4419
4420   Indirect action #[...] updated
4421
4422Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4423error occurred::
4424
4425   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4426
4427::
4428
4429   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4430
4431Update indirect rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4432(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4433
4434   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4435
4436Destroying indirect actions
4437~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4438
4439``flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy`` destroys one or more indirect actions
4440from their indirect action IDs (as returned by
4441``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4442``rte_flow_action_handle_destroy()``::
4443
4444   flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy action_id {indirect_action_id} [...]
4445
4446If successful, it will show::
4447
4448   Indirect action #[...] destroyed
4449
4450It does not report anything for indirect action IDs that do not exist.
4451The usual error message is shown when a indirect action cannot be destroyed::
4452
4453   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4454
4455Destroy indirect actions having id 100 & 101::
4456
4457   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4458
4459Query indirect actions
4460~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4461
4462``flow indirect_action {port_id} query`` queries the indirect action from its
4463indirect action ID (as returned by ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``).
4464It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_query()``::
4465
4466  flow indirect_action {port_id} query {indirect_action_id}
4467
4468Currently only rss indirect action supported. If successful, it will show::
4469
4470   Indirect RSS action:
4471      refs:[...]
4472
4473Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4474error occurred::
4475
4476   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4477
4478::
4479
4480   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4481
4482Query indirect action having id 100::
4483
4484   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 query 100
4485
4486Sample QinQ flow rules
4487~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4488
4489Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4490
4491   testpmd> port stop 0
4492   testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4493
4494The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4495
4496To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4497
4498   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4499   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4500   testpmd> port start 0
4501
4502Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4503
4504::
4505
4506   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4507       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4508   Flow rule #0 validated

4517
4518Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
4519
4520::
4521
4522   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4523        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end
4524   Flow rule #1 validated

4534
4535Sample VXLAN flow rules
4536~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4537
4538Before creating VXLAN rule(s), the UDP port should be added for VXLAN packet
4539filter on a port::
4540
4541  testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0
4542
4543Create VXLAN rules on port 0 to steer traffic to PF queues.

4961
4962 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress
4963            pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / integrity value mask 8 value spec 8 / end
4964            actions jump group 1 / end
4965
4966Integrity rule that forwards invalid packets to application.
4967General packet integrity is matched with the ``packet_ok`` bit 0.
4968
4969::
4970
4971 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern integrity value mask 1 value spec 0 / end actions queue index 0 / end
4972
4973Sample conntrack rules
4974~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4975
4976Conntrack rules can be set by the following commands
4977
4978Need to construct the connection context with provided information.
4979In the first table, create a flow rule by using conntrack action and jump to
4980the next table. In the next table, create a rule to check the state.
4981
4982::
4983
4984 testpmd> set conntrack com peer 1 is_orig 1 enable 1 live 1 sack 1 cack 0
4985        last_dir 0 liberal 0 state 1 max_ack_win 7 r_lim 5 last_win 510
4986        last_seq 2632987379 last_ack 2532480967 last_end 2632987379
4987        last_index 0x8
4988 testpmd> set conntrack orig scale 7 fin 0 acked 1 unack_data 0
4989        sent_end 2632987379 reply_end 2633016339 max_win 28960
4990        max_ack 2632987379
4991 testpmd> set conntrack rply scale 7 fin 0 acked 1 unack_data 0
4992        sent_end 2532480967 reply_end 2532546247 max_win 65280
4993        max_ack 2532480967
4994 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create ingress action conntrack / end
4995 testpmd> flow create 0 group 3 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / end actions indirect 0 / jump group 5 / end
4996 testpmd> flow create 0 group 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / conntrack is 1 / end actions queue index 5 / end
4997
4998Construct the conntrack again with only "is_orig" set to 0 (other fields are
4999ignored), then use "update" interface to update the direction. Create flow
5000rules like above for the peer port.
5001
5002::
5003
5004 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 0 action conntrack_update dir / end
5005
5006BPF Functions
5007--------------
5008
5009The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5010
5011bpf-load
5012~~~~~~~~
5013
5014Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5015
5016   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5017
5018The available load-flags are:
5019
5020* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5021
5022* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5023
5024* ``-``: none.
5025
5026.. note::
5027
5028   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5029
5030For example:
5031
5032.. code-block:: console
5033
5034   cd examples/bpf
5035   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5036
5037Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5038
5039.. code-block:: console
5040
5041   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5042
5043To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5044
5045.. code-block:: console
5046
5047   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5048
5049bpf-unload
5050~~~~~~~~~~
5051
5052Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5053
5054   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5055
5056For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5057
5058.. code-block:: console
5059
5060   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5061
