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

94
95* At run-time additional commands can be loaded in bulk by invoking the ``load FILENAME``
96  command.
97
98.. code-block:: console
99
100   testpmd> load /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
101   Flow rule #0 created

108   testpmd>
109
110
111In all cases output from any included command will be displayed as standard output.
112Execution will continue until the end of the file is reached regardless of
113whether any errors occur.  The end user must examine the output to determine if
114any failures occurred.

250Display information for a given port's RX/TX queue::
251
252   testpmd> show (rxq|txq) info (port_id) (queue_id)
253
254show config
255~~~~~~~~~~~
256
257Displays the configuration of the application.
258The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
259
260   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|txpkts)
261
262The available information categories are:
263
264* ``rxtx``: RX/TX configuration items.
265
266* ``cores``: List of forwarding cores.
267
268* ``fwd``: Packet forwarding configuration.
269
270* ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
271
272For example:
273
274.. code-block:: console
275
276   testpmd> show config rxtx
277
278   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
279   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
280   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
281   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
282   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
283   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
284   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
285
286set fwd
287~~~~~~~
288
289Set the packet forwarding mode::
290
291   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
292                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho) (""|retry)
293
294``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
295
296The available information categories are:
297
298* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
299  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
300  This is the default mode.
301
302* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
303  Default application behaviour is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
304  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
305  'eth-peer-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
306
307* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
308  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
309
310* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
311  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
312
313* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
314
315* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
316
317* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
318
319* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
320
321* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
322
323* ``softnic``: Demonstrates the softnic forwarding operation. In this mode, packet forwarding is
324  similar to I/O mode except for the fact that packets are loopback to the softnic ports only. Therefore, portmask parameter should be set to softnic port only. The various software based custom NIC pipelines specified through the softnic firmware (DPDK packet framework script) can be tested in this mode. Furthermore, it allows to build 5-level hierarchical QoS scheduler as a default option that can be enabled through CLI once testpmd application is initialised. The user can modify the default scheduler hierarchy or can specify the new QoS Scheduler hierarchy through CLI. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SOFTNIC=y``.
325

327
328   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
329
330   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode

421Configuration Functions
422-----------------------
423
424The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
425
426This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
427
428.. note::
429
430   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
431
432set default
433~~~~~~~~~~~
434
435Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
436
437   testpmd> set default
438
439set verbose
440~~~~~~~~~~~
441
442Set the debug verbosity level::
443
444   testpmd> set verbose (level)
445
446Currently the only available levels are 0 (silent except for error) and 1 (fully verbose).
447
448set log
449~~~~~~~
450
451Set the log level for a log type::
452
453	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
454
455Where:
456
457* ``type`` is the log name.
458
459* ``level`` is the log level.
460
461For example, to change the global log level::
462	testpmd> set log global (level)
463
464Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
465	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
466
467set nbport
468~~~~~~~~~~
469
470Set the number of ports used by the application:
471
472set nbport (num)
473
474This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
475
476set nbcore
477~~~~~~~~~~
478
479Set the number of cores used by the application::
480
481   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
482
483This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
484
485.. note::
486
487   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
488
489set coremask
490~~~~~~~~~~~~
491
492Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
493
494   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
495
496This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
497
498.. note::
499
500   The master lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
501
502set portmask
503~~~~~~~~~~~~
504
505Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
506
507   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
508
509This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
510
511set burst
512~~~~~~~~~
513
514Set number of packets per burst::
515
516   testpmd> set burst (num)
517
518This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
519
520When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
521
522   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
523
524set txpkts
525~~~~~~~~~~
526
527Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
528
529   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
530
531Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
532
533set txsplit
534~~~~~~~~~~~
535
536Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
537
538   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
539
540Where:
541
542* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
543
544* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
545  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
546  (see above).
547
548* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
549
550set corelist
551~~~~~~~~~~~~
552
553Set the list of forwarding cores::
554
555   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
556
557For example, to change the forwarding cores:
558
559.. code-block:: console
560
561   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
562   testpmd> show config fwd
563
564   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
565   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
566   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
567   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
568   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00

572   The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
573
574set portlist
575~~~~~~~~~~~~
576
577Set the list of forwarding ports::
578
579   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)
580
581For example, to change the port forwarding:
582
583.. code-block:: console
584
585   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
586   testpmd> show config fwd

864* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
865
866* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
867  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
868  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
869
870.. note::
871
872   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.

874RSS queue region
875~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
876
877Set RSS queue region span on a port::
878
879   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) \
880		queue_start_index (value) queue_num (value)
881
882Set flowtype mapping on a RSS queue region on a port::
883
884   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region region_id (value) flowtype (value)
885
886where:
887
888* For the flowtype(pctype) of packet,the specific index for each type has

896
897   testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region flush (on|off)
898
899where:
900
901* "on"is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
902  it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
903  at first will only keep in DPDK softwarestored in driver,
904  only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.
905  "off" is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
906  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
907
908Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
909
910   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
911
912.. note::
913
914  Queue region only support on PF by now, so these command is
915  only for configuration of queue region on PF port.
916
917csum parse-tunnel
918~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
919
920Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
921engine::
922
923   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
924
925If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
926tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
927
928If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
929header is handled as a packet payload).
930
931.. note::
932
933   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
934
935Example:
936
937Consider a packet in packet like the following::
938
939   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
940
941* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
942  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
943  ``outer-ip parameter`` relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out``).
944
945* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
946   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.
947
948csum show
949~~~~~~~~~
950
951Display tx checksum offload configuration::
952
953   testpmd> csum show (port_id)
954
955tso set
956~~~~~~~
957
958Enable TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) in the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
959
960   testpmd> tso set (segsize) (port_id)
961
962.. note::
963
964   Check the NIC datasheet for hardware limits.
965
966tso show
967~~~~~~~~
968
969Display the status of TCP Segmentation Offload::
970
971   testpmd> tso show (port_id)
972
973set port - gro
974~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
975
976Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
977
978   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
979
980If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
981packets received from the given port.
982
983If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
984GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
985
986.. note::
987
988   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
989   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
990   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
991   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
992   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
993   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
994   transmitted to.
995
996show port - gro
997~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
998
999Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1000
1001   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1002
1003set gro flush
1004~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1005
1006Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1007
1008   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1009
1010When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1011packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1012can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1013from the reassembly tables.
1014
1015The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1016engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1017operations.
1018
1019By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1020from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1021of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1022
1023Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1024stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1025stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1026
1027set port - gso
1028~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1029
1030Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1031
1032   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1033
1034If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1035packets, transmitted on the given port.
1036
1037If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1038By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1039
1040.. note::
1041
1042   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1043   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1044   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1045   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1046   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1047   GSO-enabled ports.
1048
1049   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1050   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1051
1052   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1053
1054   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1055
1056   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1057
1058   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1059   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1060   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1061   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1062   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1063   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1064
1065set gso segsz
1066~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1067
1068Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the
1069packet header and the packet payload for GSO-enabled ports (global)::
1070

1573Port Functions
1574--------------
1575
1576The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1577
1578.. note::
1579
1580   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1581
1582port attach
1583~~~~~~~~~~~
1584
1585Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1586
1587   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1588
1589To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1590Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1591Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1592
1593For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1594
1595.. code-block:: console
1596
1597   # Check the status of the available devices.
1598   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1599
1600   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1601   ============================================
1602   <none>
1603
1604   Network devices using kernel driver
1605   ===================================
1606   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1607
1608
1609   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1610   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1611
1612
1613   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1614   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1615   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1616   ============================================
1617   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1618
1619To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1620
1621For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1622
1623.. code-block:: console
1624
1625   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0

1632   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1633   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1634   Done
1635
1636For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1637
1638.. code-block:: console
1639
1640   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1641   Attaching a new port...
1642   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1643   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1644   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1645   Done
1646
1647In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1648This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1649
1650For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1651the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1652
1653.. code-block:: console
1654
1655   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1656   Attaching a new port...
1657   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1658   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.

1663port detach
1664~~~~~~~~~~~
1665
1666Detach a specific port::
1667
1668   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1669
1670Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1671
1672For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1673
1674.. code-block:: console
1675
1676   testpmd> port stop 0
1677   Stopping ports...

1705   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1706   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1707   Done
1708
1709To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1710Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1711Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1712
1713For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1714
1715.. code-block:: console
1716
1717   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1718
1719   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

2769* ``mask_value``: Participates in the match or not by bit for field above, 1b means participate
2770
2771* ``tcp_flags_value``: TCP control bits. The non-zero value is invalid, when the protocol_value is not set to 0x06 (TCP).
2772
2773* ``prio_value``: The priority of this filter.
2774
2775* ``queue_id``: The receive queue associated with this 5-tuple filter.
2776
2777Example, to add/remove an 5tuple filter rule::
2778
2779   testpmd> 5tuple_filter 0 add dst_ip 2.2.2.5 src_ip 2.2.2.4 \
2780            dst_port 64 src_port 32 protocol 0x06 mask 0x1F \
2781            flags 0x0 priority 3 queue 3
2782
2783   testpmd> 5tuple_filter 0 del dst_ip 2.2.2.5 src_ip 2.2.2.4 \
2784            dst_port 64 src_port 32 protocol 0x06 mask 0x1F \

2786
2787syn_filter
2788~~~~~~~~~~
2789
2790Using the  SYN filter, TCP packets whose *SYN* flag is set can be forwarded to a separate queue::
2791
2792   syn_filter (port_id) (add|del) priority (high|low) queue (queue_id)
2793
2794The available information parameters are:
2795
2796* ``port_id``: The port which the SYN filter assigned on.
2797
2798* ``high``: This SYN filter has higher priority than other filters.
2799
2800* ``low``: This SYN filter has lower priority than other filters.
2801
2802* ``queue_id``: The receive queue associated with this SYN filter
2803
2804Example::
2805
2806   testpmd> syn_filter 0 add priority high queue 3
2807
2808flex_filter
2809~~~~~~~~~~~
2810
2811With flex filter, packets can be recognized by any arbitrary pattern within the first 128 bytes of the packet
2812and routed into one of the receive queues::
2813
2814   flex_filter (port_id) (add|del) len (len_value) bytes (bytes_value) \
2815               mask (mask_value) priority (prio_value) queue (queue_id)
2816
2817The available information parameters are:
2818
2819* ``port_id``: The port which the Flex filter is assigned on.
2820
2821* ``len_value``: Filter length in bytes, no greater than 128.
2822
2823* ``bytes_value``: A string in hexadecimal, means the value the flex filter needs to match.
2824
2825* ``mask_value``: A string in hexadecimal, bit 1 means corresponding byte participates in the match.
2826
2827* ``prio_value``: The priority of this filter.
2828
2829* ``queue_id``: The receive queue associated with this Flex filter.
2830
2831Example::
2832
2833   testpmd> flex_filter 0 add len 16 bytes 0x00000000000000000000000008060000 \

2840.. _testpmd_flow_director:
2841
2842flow_director_filter
2843~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2844
2845The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
2846
2847Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
2848Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
2849
2850* Perfect match filters.
2851  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2852  The masked fields are for IP flow.
2853
2854* Signature filters.
2855  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
2856
2857* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
2858  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2859  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
2860
2861* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
2862  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2863  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
2864
2865* Perfect-raw-flow-type match filters.
2866  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and pre-loaded raw (template) packet.
2867  The masked fields are specified by input sets.
2868
2869The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
2870per flow type and the flexible payload.
2871
2872The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
2873are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
2874
2875Note that for raw flow type mode the source and destination fields in the
2876raw packet buffer need to be presented in a reversed order with respect
2877to the expected received packets.
2878For example: IP source and destination addresses or TCP/UDP/SCTP
2879source and destination ports
2880
2881Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

3101
3102Flow rules management
3103---------------------
3104
3105Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3106``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3107modes).
3108
3109Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3110features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3111not recommended.
3112
3113``flow`` syntax
3114~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3115
3116Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3117of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3118other commands, in particular:
3119
3120- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3121  token, not that of the entire command.
3122
3123- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3124  in the contextual help).
3125
3126The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3127their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3128following sections.
3129
3130- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3131
3132   flow validate {port_id}
3133       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3134       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3135       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3136
3137- Create a flow rule::
3138
3139   flow create {port_id}
3140       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3141       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3142       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3143
3144- Destroy specific flow rules::
3145
3146   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3147
3148- Destroy all flow rules::
3149
3150   flow flush {port_id}
3151
3152- Query an existing flow rule::
3153
3154   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3155
3156- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3157  identifiers::
3158
3159   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3160
3161- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3162
3163   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3164
3165Validating flow rules
3166~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3167
3168``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3169underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3170bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3171

3203Creating flow rules
3204~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3205
3206``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3207to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3208
3209   flow create {port_id}
3210      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3211      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3212      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3213
3214If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3215
3216   Flow rule #[...] created
3217
3218Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3219
3220   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3221
3222Parameters describe in the following order:
3223
3224- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3225- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3226  *end* pattern item.
3227- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3228  action.
3229
3230These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3231underlying functions.
3232
3233The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3234
3235   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3236
3237Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3238one.
3239
3240**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3241
3242Attributes
3243^^^^^^^^^^
3244
3245These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3246specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3247
3248- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3249- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3250- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3251- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3252- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3253
3254Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3255value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3256
3257   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3258
3259Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3260
3261While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3262simultaneously.
3263
3264Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3265
3266   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3267
3268Matching pattern
3269^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3270
3271A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3272items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3273
3274Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3275rte_flow_item_type``).
3276
3277The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3278below::
3279
3280   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3281
3282Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3283layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3284unlikely to match any packet::
3285
3286   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3287
3288More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3289documentation.
3290
3291Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3292``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3293
3294   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3295      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3296
3297This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3298
3299In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3300``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3301in a similar fashion.
3302
3303The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3304and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3305accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3306
3307- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3308- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3309- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3310- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3311- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask from a prefix length.
3312
3313These yield identical results::
3314
3315   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3316
3317::
3318
3319   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3320
3321::
3322
3323   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3324
3325::
3326
3327   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3328
3329::
3330
3331   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3332
3333Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3334
3335   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3336
3337Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3338
3339   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3340      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3341
3342Properties can be modified multiple times::
3343
3344   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3345
3346::
3347
3348   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3349

3518
3519Actions list
3520^^^^^^^^^^^^
3521
3522A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3523`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3524terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3525
3526Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3527rte_flow_action_type``).
3528
3529Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3530
3531   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3532      actions drop / end
3533
3534Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3535there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3536queue index.
3537
3538This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3539
3540   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3541      actions queue index 6 / end
3542
3543While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3544
3545   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3546      actions queue / end
3547
3548As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3549rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3550
3551   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3552
3553::
3554
3555   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3556
3557All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3558action of a given type is taken into account::
3559
3560   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3561
3562::
3563
3564   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3565
3566::
3567
3568   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3569
3570Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3571actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3572
3573   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3574
3575::
3576
3577   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3578
3579::
3580
3581   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3582
3583Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

3701~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3702
3703``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
3704by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
3705times as necessary::
3706
3707   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3708
3709If successful, it will show::
3710
3711   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
3712
3713It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
3714message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
3715
3716   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3717
3718``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
3719arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
3720
3721   flow flush {port_id}
3722
3723Any errors are reported as above.
3724
3725Creating several rules and destroying them::
3726
3727   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3728      actions queue index 2 / end
3729   Flow rule #0 created
3730   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3731      actions queue index 3 / end
3732   Flow rule #1 created
3733   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
3734   Flow rule #1 destroyed
3735   Flow rule #0 destroyed
3736   testpmd>
3737
3738The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
3739
3740   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3741      actions queue index 2 / end
3742   Flow rule #0 created
3743   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3744      actions queue index 3 / end
3745   Flow rule #1 created
3746   testpmd> flow flush 0
3747   testpmd>
3748
3749Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
3750
3751   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3752      actions queue index 2 / end
3753   Flow rule #0 created
3754   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3755      actions queue index 3 / end
3756   Flow rule #1 created
3757   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
3758   testpmd>
3759   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
3760   Flow rule #0 destroyed
3761   testpmd>
3762
3763Querying flow rules
3764~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3765
3766``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
3767ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
3768command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
3769
3770   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3771
3772If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
3773or the following message::
3774
3775   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
3776
3777Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
3778error occurred::
3779
3780   Flow rule #[...] not found
3781
3782::
3783
3784   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3785
3786Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
3787number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
3788output has the following format::
3789
3790   count:
3791    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
3792    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
3793    hits: [...] # number of packets
3794    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
3795
3796Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
3797
3798   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3799      actions queue index 6 / count / end
3800   Flow rule #4 created
3801   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
3802   count:
3803    hits_set: 1
3804    bytes_set: 0
3805    hits: 386446
3806    bytes: 0
3807   testpmd>
3808
3809Listing flow rules
3810~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3811
3812``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
3813filtered by group identifiers::
3814
3815   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3816
3817This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
3818exist::
3819
3820   Invalid port [...]
3821
3822Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
3823flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
3824configured on the device::
3825
3826   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3827   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
3828
3829``Attr`` column flags:
3830
3831- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
3832- ``e`` for ``egress``.
3833
3834Creating several flow rules and listing them::
3835
3836   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
3837      actions queue index 6 / end
3838   Flow rule #0 created
3839   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
3840      actions queue index 2 / end
3841   Flow rule #1 created
3842   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3843      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
3844   Flow rule #2 created
3845   testpmd> flow list 0
3846   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3847   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
3848   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
3849   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
3850   testpmd>
3851
3852Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
3853
3854   testpmd> flow list 1
3855   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3856   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
3857   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
3858   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
3859   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
3860   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
3861   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
3862   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
3863   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
3864   testpmd>
3865
3866Output can be limited to specific groups::
3867
3868   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
3869   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3870   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
3871   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
3872   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
3873   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
3874   testpmd>
3875
3876Toggling isolated mode
3877~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3878
3879``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
3880must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
3881is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
3882resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
3883
3884 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3885
3886If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
3887
3888 Ingress traffic on port [...]
3889    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
3890
3891Or::
3892
3893 Ingress traffic on port [...]
3894    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
3895
3896Otherwise, in case of error::
3897
3898   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3899
3900Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
3901ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
3902first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
3903
3904Enabling isolated mode::
3905
3906 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
3907 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
3908 testpmd>
3909
3910Disabling isolated mode::
3911
3912 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
3913 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
3914 testpmd>
3915
3916Sample QinQ flow rules
3917~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3918
3919Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
3920
3921   testpmd> port stop 0
3922   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
3923
3924The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
3925
3926To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
3927
3928   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
3929   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
3930   testpmd> port start 0
3931
3932Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
3933
3934::
3935
3936   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
3937       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
3938   Flow rule #0 validated
3939
3940   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
3941       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 123 / queue index 0 / end
3942   Flow rule #0 created
3943
3944   testpmd> flow list 0
3945   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3946   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
3947
3948Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
3949
3950::
3951
3952   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
3953        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end
3954   Flow rule #1 validated
3955
3956   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
3957        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 1 / end
3958   Flow rule #1 created
3959
3960   testpmd> flow list 0
3961   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3962   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
3963   1       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>PF QUEUE
3964
3965Sample VXLAN encapsulation rule
3966~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3967
3968VXLAN encapsulation outer layer has default value pre-configured in testpmd
3969source code, those can be changed by using the following commands
3970
3971IPv4 VXLAN outer header::
3972
3973 testpmd> set vxlan ip-version ipv4 vni 4 udp-src 4 udp-dst 4 ip-src 127.0.0.1
3974        ip-dst 128.0.0.1 eth-src 11:11:11:11:11:11 eth-dst 22:22:22:22:22:22

3980         eth-dst 22:22:22:22:22:22
3981 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions vxlan_encap /
3982         queue index 0 / end
3983
3984IPv6 VXLAN outer header::
3985

3989         queue index 0 / end
3990
3991 testpmd> set vxlan-with-vlan ip-version ipv6 vni 4 udp-src 4 udp-dst 4
3992         ip-src ::1 ip-dst ::2222 vlan-tci 34 eth-src 11:11:11:11:11:11
3993         eth-dst 22:22:22:22:22:22
3994 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions vxlan_encap /
3995         queue index 0 / end
3996
3997Sample NVGRE encapsulation rule
3998~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3999
4000NVGRE encapsulation outer layer has default value pre-configured in testpmd
4001source code, those can be changed by using the following commands
4002
4003IPv4 NVGRE outer header::
4004
4005 testpmd> set nvgre ip-version ipv4 tni 4 ip-src 127.0.0.1 ip-dst 128.0.0.1
4006        eth-src 11:11:11:11:11:11 eth-dst 22:22:22:22:22:22
4007 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions nvgre_encap /

4026        queue index 0 / end
4027
4028BPF Functions
4029--------------
4030
4031The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
4032
4033bpf-load
4034~~~~~~~~
4035
4036Load an eBPF program as a callback for partciular RX/TX queue::
4037
4038   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
4039
4040The available load-flags are:
4041
4042* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
4043
4044* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
4045
4046* ``-``: none.
4047
4048.. note::
4049
4050   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
4051
4052For example:
4053
4054.. code-block:: console
4055
4056   cd test/bpf
4057   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
4058
4059Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1::
4060
4061.. code-block:: console
4062
4063   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4064
4065To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0::
4066
4067.. code-block:: console
4068
4069   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4070
4071bpf-unload
4072~~~~~~~~~~
4073
4074Unload previously loaded eBPF program for partciular RX/TX queue::
4075
4076   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
4077
4078For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
4079
4080.. code-block:: console
4081
4082   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
4083
