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

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.

310
311set fwd
312~~~~~~~

314Set the packet forwarding mode::
315
316   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
317                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap|shared-rxq) (""|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
360* ``shared-rxq``: Receive only for shared Rx queue.
361  Resolve packet source port from mbuf and update stream statistics accordingly.
362
363Example::
364
365   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
366
367   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
368
369
370show fwd
371~~~~~~~~
372
373When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.
374Example for the io forwarding engine, with some packet drops on the tx side::
375
376   testpmd> show fwd stats all
377

651Configuration Functions
652-----------------------
653
654The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
655
656This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
657
658.. note::
659
660   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
661
662set default
663~~~~~~~~~~~
664
665Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
666
667   testpmd> set default
668
669set verbose
670~~~~~~~~~~~
671
672Set the debug verbosity level::
673
674   testpmd> set verbose (level)
675
676Available levels are as following:
677
678* ``0`` silent except for error.
679* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
680* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
681* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
682
683set log
684~~~~~~~
685
686Set the log level for a log type::
687
688	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
689
690Where:
691
692* ``type`` is the log name.
693
694* ``level`` is the log level.
695
696For example, to change the global log level::
697
698	testpmd> set log global (level)
699
700Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
701
702	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
703
704set nbport
705~~~~~~~~~~
706
707Set the number of ports used by the application:
708
709set nbport (num)
710
711This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
712
713set nbcore
714~~~~~~~~~~
715
716Set the number of cores used by the application::
717
718   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
719
720This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
721
722.. note::
723
724   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
725
726set coremask
727~~~~~~~~~~~~
728
729Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
730
731   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
732
733This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
734
735.. note::
736
737   The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
738
739set portmask
740~~~~~~~~~~~~
741
742Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
743
744   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
745
746This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
747
748set record-core-cycles
749~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
750
751Set the recording of CPU cycles::
752
753   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
754
755Where:
756
757* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
758
759* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
760
761This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
762
763set record-burst-stats
764~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
765
766Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
767
768   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
769
770Where:
771
772* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
773
774* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
775
776This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
777
778set burst
779~~~~~~~~~
780
781Set number of packets per burst::
782
783   testpmd> set burst (num)
784
785This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
786
787When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
788
789   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
790
791set rxoffs
792~~~~~~~~~~
793
794Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
795if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
796offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
797
798   testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
799
800Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
801of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
802for the remaining segments.
803
804set rxpkts
805~~~~~~~~~~
806
807Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
808feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
809(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
810pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
811to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
812mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
813from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
814mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
815
816   testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
817
818Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
819means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
820
821set txpkts
822~~~~~~~~~~
823
824Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
825
826   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
827
828Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
829
830set txtimes
831~~~~~~~~~~~
832
833Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
834the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
835timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
836application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
837to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
838and between the packets within the burst::
839
840   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
841
842where:
843
844* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
845  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
846  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
847  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
848  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
849  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
850  on timestamps is disabled (default).
851
852* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
853  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
854  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
855  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
856
857As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
858delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
859the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
860and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
861and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
862rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
863
864set txsplit
865~~~~~~~~~~~
866
867Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
868
869   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
870
871Where:
872
873* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
874
875* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
876  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
877  (see above).
878
879* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
880
881set corelist
882~~~~~~~~~~~~
883
884Set the list of forwarding cores::
885
886   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
887
888For example, to change the forwarding cores:
889
890.. code-block:: console
891
892   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
893   testpmd> show config fwd
894
895   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
896   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
897   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
898   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
899   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
900

915
916   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
917   testpmd> show config fwd
918
919   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
920   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
921   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
922   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
923   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03

1202csum parse-tunnel
1203~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1204
1205Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1206engine::
1207
1208   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1209
1210If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1211tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1212
1213If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1214header is handled as a packet payload).
1215
1216.. note::
1217
1218   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1219
1220Example:
1221
1222Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1223
1224   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1225
1226* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1227  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1228  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1229
1230* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1231   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1259~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1260
1261Set tso segment size of tunneled packets for a port in csum engine::
1262
1263   testpmd> tunnel_tso set (tso_segsz) (port_id)
1264
1265tunnel tso show
1266~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1267

1269
1270   testpmd> tunnel_tso show (port_id)
1271
1272set port - gro
1273~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1274
1275Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1276
1277   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1278
1279If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1280packets received from the given port.
1281
1282If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1283GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1284
1285.. note::
1286
1287   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1288   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1289   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1290   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1291   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1292   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1293   transmitted to.
1294
1295show port - gro
1296~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1297
1298Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1299
1300   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1301
1302set gro flush
1303~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1304
1305Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1306
1307   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1308
1309When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1310packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1311can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1312from the reassembly tables.
1313
1314The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1315engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1316operations.
1317
1318By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1319from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1320of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1321
1322Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1323stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1324stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1325
1326set port - gso
1327~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1328
1329Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1330
1331   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1332
1333If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1334packets, transmitted on the given port.
1335
1336If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1337By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1338
1339.. note::
1340
1341   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1342   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1343   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1344   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1345   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1346   GSO-enabled ports.
1347
1348   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1349   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1350
1351   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1352
1353   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1354
1355   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1356
1357   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1358   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1359   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1360   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1361   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1362   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1363
1364set gso segsz
1365~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1366
1367Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the
1368packet header and the packet payload for GSO-enabled ports (global)::

1972rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1973
1974 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1975
1976There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1977internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1978If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1979
1980 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1981
1982the default index ``0`` is used.

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

2155   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2156   Done
2157
2158
2159For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2160
2161.. code-block:: console
2162
2163   testpmd> port stop 0
2164   Stopping ports...
2165   Done
2166   testpmd> port close 0
2167   Closing ports...
2168   Done
2169
2170   testpmd> port detach 0
2171   Detaching a port...
2172   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2173   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2174   Done
2175
2176To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2177Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2178Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2179
2180For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2181
2182.. code-block:: console
2183
2184   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2185

2261~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2262
2263Set the speed and duplex mode for all ports or a specific port::
2264
2265   testpmd> port config (port_id|all) speed (10|100|1000|10000|25000|40000|50000|100000|200000|auto) \
2266            duplex (half|full|auto)
2267
2268port config - queues/descriptors
2269~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2270
2271Set number of queues/descriptors for rxq, txq, rxd and txd::
2272
2273   testpmd> port config all (rxq|txq|rxd|txd) (value)
2274
2275This is equivalent to the ``--rxq``, ``--txq``, ``--rxd`` and ``--txd`` command-line options.
2276
2277port config - max-pkt-len
2278~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2279

2301
2302Packet dropping when no receive buffers available is off by default.
2303
2304The ``on`` option is equivalent to the ``--enable-drop-en`` command-line option.
2305
2306port config - RSS
2307~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2308
2309Set the RSS (Receive Side Scaling) mode on or off::

2312
2313RSS is on by default.
2314
2315The ``all`` option is equivalent to eth|vlan|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|l2tpv3|esp|ah|pfcp|l2tpv2.
2316
2317The ``default`` option enables all supported RSS types reported by device info.

2334
2335The traffic class should be 4 or 8.
2336
2337port config - Burst
2338~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2339
2340Set the number of packets per burst::
2341

2425
2426port config dynf
2427~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2428
2429Set/clear dynamic flag per port.
2430testpmd will register this flag in the mbuf (same registration
2431for both Tx and Rx). Then set/clear this flag for each Tx
2432packet sent from this port. The set bit only works for Tx packet::
2433
2434   testpmd> port config (port_id) dynf (name) (set|clear)

2465Device Functions
2466----------------
2467
2468The following sections show functions for device operations.
2469
2470device detach
2471~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2472
2473Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2474
2475   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2476
2477Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2478
2479For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2480
2481.. code-block:: console
2482
2483    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2484    Removing a device...
2485    Port 1 is now closed
2486    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2487    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2488    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2489    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2490    Now total ports is 1
2491
2492For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2493
2494.. code-block:: console
2495
2496    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2497    Removing a device...
2498    Port 0 is now closed
2499    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2500    Now total ports is 0
2501    Done
2502
2503In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2504This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2505
2506Link Bonding Functions
2507----------------------
2508
2509The Link Bonding functions make it possible to dynamically create and

2530
2531For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2532
2533   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2534
2535
2536remove bonding slave
2537~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2538
2539Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2540
2541   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2542
2543For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::

2586
2587For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2588
2589   testpmd> set bonding balance_xmit_policy 10 l34
2590
2591
2592set bonding mon_period
2593~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2596
2597This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2598When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2599link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2600
2601   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)

3296
3297   flow_director_flex_payload (port_id) (raw|l2|l3|l4) (config)
3298
3299For example, to select the first 16 bytes from the offset 4 (bytes) of packet's payload as flexible payload::
3300
3301   testpmd> flow_director_flex_payload 0 l4 \

3307Flow rules management
3308---------------------
3309
3310Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3311``flow`` command (configuration, validation, creation, destruction, queries
3312and operation modes).
3313
3314Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3315features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3316not recommended.
3317
3318``flow`` syntax
3319~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3320
3321Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3322of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3323other commands, in particular:
3324
3325- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3326  token, not that of the entire command.
3327
3328- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3329  in the contextual help).
3330
3331The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3332their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3333following sections.
3334
3335- Get info about flow engine::
3336
3337   flow info {port_id}

3420
3421   flow dump {port_id} rule {rule_id} {output_file}
3422
3423- List and destroy aged flow rules::
3424

3668   testpmd>
3669
3670Creating flow rules
3671~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3672
3673``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3674to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3675
3676   flow create {port_id}
3677      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3678      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3679      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3680      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3681
3682If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3683
3684   Flow rule #[...] created
3685
3686Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3687
3688   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3689
3690Parameters describe in the following order:
3691
3692- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3693- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3694- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3695  *end* pattern item.
3696- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3697  action.
3698
3699These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3700underlying functions.
3701
3702The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3703
3704   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3705
3706Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3707one.
3708
3709**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3710
3711Attributes
3712^^^^^^^^^^
3713
3714These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3715specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3716
3717- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3718- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3719- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3720- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3721- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3722
3723Please note that use of ``transfer`` attribute requires that the flow and
3724its indirect components be managed via so-called ``transfer`` proxy port.
3725See `show flow transfer proxy port ID for the given port`_ for details.
3726
3727Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3728value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3729
3730   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3731
3732Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3733
3734While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3735simultaneously.
3736
3737Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3738
3739   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3740
3741Tunnel offload
3742^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3743
3744Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3745
3746- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3747- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunnel offload match type.
3748
3749Matching pattern
3750^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3751
3752A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3753items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3754
3755Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3756rte_flow_item_type``).
3757
3758The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3759below::
3760
3761   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3762
3763Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3764layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3765unlikely to match any packet::
3766
3767   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3768
3769More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3770documentation.
3771
3772Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3773``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3774
3775   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3776      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3777
3778This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3779
3780In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3781``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3782in a similar fashion.
3783
3784The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3785and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3786accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3787
3788- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3789- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3790- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3791- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3792- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3793
3794These yield identical results::
3795
3796   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3797
3798::
3799
3800   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3801
3802::
3803
3804   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3805
3806::
3807
3808   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3809
3810::
3811
3812   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3813
3814Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3815
3816   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3817
3818Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3819
3820   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3821      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3822
3823Properties can be modified multiple times::
3824
3825   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3826
3827::
3828
3829   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3830

3833
3834This section lists supported pattern items and their attributes, if any.
3835
3836- ``end``: end list of pattern items.
3837
3838- ``void``: no-op pattern item.
3839
3840- ``invert``: perform actions when pattern does not match.
3841
3842- ``any``: match any protocol for the current layer.
3843

4085Actions list
4086^^^^^^^^^^^^
4087
4088A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
4089`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
4090terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
4091
4092Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
4093rte_flow_action_type``).
4094
4095Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
4096
4097   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4098      actions drop / end
4099
4100Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
4101there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
4102queue index.
4103
4104This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
4105
4106   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4107      actions queue index 6 / end
4108
4109While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
4110
4111   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4112      actions queue / end
4113
4114As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
4115rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
4116
4117   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
4118
4119::
4120
4121   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
4122
4123All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
4124action of a given type is taken into account::
4125
4126   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
4127
4128::
4129
4130   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
4131
4132::
4133
4134   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
4135
4136Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
4137actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
4138
4139   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
4140
4141::
4142
4143   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
4144
4145::
4146
4147   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
4148
4149Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4368  - ``ethdev_port_id {unsigned}``: ethdev port ID
4369
4370Destroying flow rules
4371~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4372
4373``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4374by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4375times as necessary::
4376
4377   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4378
4379If successful, it will show::
4380
4381   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4382
4383It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4384message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4385
4386   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4387
4388``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4389arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4390
4391   flow flush {port_id}
4392
4393Any errors are reported as above.
4394
4395Creating several rules and destroying them::
4396
4397   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4398      actions queue index 2 / end
4399   Flow rule #0 created
4400   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4401      actions queue index 3 / end
4402   Flow rule #1 created
4403   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4404   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4405   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4406   testpmd>
4407
4408The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4409
4410   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4411      actions queue index 2 / end
4412   Flow rule #0 created
4413   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4414      actions queue index 3 / end
4415   Flow rule #1 created
4416   testpmd> flow flush 0
4417   testpmd>
4418
4419Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4420
4421   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4422      actions queue index 2 / end
4423   Flow rule #0 created
4424   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4425      actions queue index 3 / end
4426   Flow rule #1 created
4427   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4428   testpmd>
4429   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4430   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4431   testpmd>
4432
4433Querying flow rules
4434~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4435
4436``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4437ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4438command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4439
4440   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4441
4442If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4443or the following message::
4444
4445   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4446
4447Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4448error occurred::
4449
4450   Flow rule #[...] not found
4451
4452::
4453
4454   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4455
4456Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4457number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4458output has the following format::
4459
4460   count:
4461    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4462    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4463    hits: [...] # number of packets
4464    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4465
4466Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4467
4468   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4469      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4470   Flow rule #4 created
4471   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4472   count:
4473    hits_set: 1
4474    bytes_set: 0
4475    hits: 386446
4476    bytes: 0
4477   testpmd>
4478
4479Listing flow rules
4480~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4481
4482``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4483filtered by group identifiers::
4484
4485   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4486
4487This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4488exist::
4489
4490   Invalid port [...]
4491
4492Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4493flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4494configured on the device::
4495
4496   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4497   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4498
4499``Attr`` column flags:
4500
4501- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4502- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4503
4504Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4505
4506   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4507      actions queue index 6 / end
4508   Flow rule #0 created
4509   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4510      actions queue index 2 / end
4511   Flow rule #1 created
4512   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4513      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4514   Flow rule #2 created
4515   testpmd> flow list 0
4516   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4517   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4518   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4519   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4520   testpmd>
4521
4522Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4523
4524   testpmd> flow list 1
4525   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4526   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4527   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4528   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4529   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4530   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4531   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4532   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4533   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4534   testpmd>
4535
4536Output can be limited to specific groups::
4537
4538   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4539   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4540   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4541   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4542   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4543   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4544   testpmd>
4545
4546Toggling isolated mode
4547~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4548
4549``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4550must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4551is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4552resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4553
4554 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4555
4556If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4557
4558 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4559    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4560
4561Or::
4562
4563 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4564    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4565
4566Otherwise, in case of error::
4567
4568   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4569
4570Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4571ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4572first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4573
4574Enabling isolated mode::
4575
4576 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4577 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4578 testpmd>
4579
4580Disabling isolated mode::
4581
4582 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4583 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4584 testpmd>
4585
4586Dumping HW internal information
4587~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4588
4589``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4590all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4591
4592   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4593
4594If successful, it will show::
4595
4596   Flow dump finished
4597
4598Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4599
4600   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4601
4602Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4603~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4604
4605``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4606and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4607
4608   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4609
4610Listing current aged flow rules::
4611
4612   testpmd> flow aged 0
4613   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4614   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4615      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4616   Flow rule #0 created
4617   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4618      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4619   Flow rule #1 created
4620   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4621      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4622   Flow rule #2 created
4623   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4624      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4625   Flow rule #3 created
4626
4627
4628Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4629information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4630those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4631will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4632
4633   testpmd> flow aged 0
4634   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4635   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4636   2       0       0       i--
4637   3       0       0       i--
4638   1       0       0       i--
4639   0       0       0       i--
4640
4641If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.
4642
4643   testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
4644   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4645   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4646   2       0       0       i--
4647   3       0       0       i--
4648   1       0       0       i--
4649   0       0       0       i--
4650
4651   Flow rule #2 destroyed
4652   Flow rule #3 destroyed
4653   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4654   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4655   4 flows be destroyed
4656   testpmd> flow aged 0
4657   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4658
4659Creating indirect actions
4660~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4661
4662``flow indirect_action {port_id} create`` creates indirect action with optional
4663indirect action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_create()``::
4664
4665   flow indirect_action {port_id} create [action_id {indirect_action_id}]
4666      [ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
4667
4668If successful, it will show::
4669
4670   Indirect action #[...] created
4671
4672Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action already exists or that
4673some error occurred::
4674
4675   Indirect action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4676
4677::
4678
4679   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4680
4681Create indirect rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4682
4683   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id 100 \
4684      ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
4685
4686Create indirect rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
4687port 0::
4688
4689	testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id \
4690		ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4691
4692Updating indirect actions
4693~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4694
4695``flow indirect_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the indirect
4696action from its indirect action ID (as returned by
4697``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4698``rte_flow_action_handle_update()``::
4699
4700   flow indirect_action {port_id} update {indirect_action_id}
4701      action {action} / end
4702
4703If successful, it will show::
4704
4705   Indirect action #[...] updated
4706
4707Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4708error occurred::
4709
4710   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4711
4712::
4713
4714   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4715
4716Update indirect rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4717(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4718
4719   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4720
4721Destroying indirect actions
4722~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4723
4724``flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy`` destroys one or more indirect actions
4725from their indirect action IDs (as returned by
4726``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4727``rte_flow_action_handle_destroy()``::
4728
4729   flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy action_id {indirect_action_id} [...]
4730
4731If successful, it will show::
4732
4733   Indirect action #[...] destroyed
4734
4735It does not report anything for indirect action IDs that do not exist.
4736The usual error message is shown when a indirect action cannot be destroyed::
4737
4738   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4739
4740Destroy indirect actions having id 100 & 101::
4741
4742   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4743
4744Query indirect actions
4745~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4746
4747``flow indirect_action {port_id} query`` queries the indirect action from its
4748indirect action ID (as returned by ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``).
4749It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_query()``::
4750
4751  flow indirect_action {port_id} query {indirect_action_id}
4752
4753Currently only rss indirect action supported. If successful, it will show::
4754
4755   Indirect RSS action:
4756      refs:[...]
4757
4758Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4759error occurred::
4760
4761   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4762
4763::
4764
4765   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4766
4767Query indirect action having id 100::
4768
4769   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 query 100
4770
4771Sample QinQ flow rules
4772~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4773
4774Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4775
4776   testpmd> port stop 0
4777   testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4778
4779The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4780
4781To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4782
4783   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4784   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4785   testpmd> port start 0
4786
4787Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4788
4789::
4790
4791   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4792       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4793   Flow rule #0 validated
4794
4795   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /

4801   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
4802
4803Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
4804
4805::
4806
4807   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4808        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end
4809   Flow rule #1 validated
4810
4811   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /

4819
4820Sample VXLAN flow rules
4821~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4822
4823Before creating VXLAN rule(s), the UDP port should be added for VXLAN packet
4824filter on a port::
4825
4826  testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0
4827
4828Create VXLAN rules on port 0 to steer traffic to PF queues.
4829
4830::
4831
4832  testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / vxlan /
4833         eth dst is 00:11:22:33:44:55 / end actions pf / queue index 1 / end
4834  Flow rule #0 created
4835
4836  testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / vxlan vni is 3 /
4837         eth dst is 00:11:22:33:44:55 / end actions pf / queue index 2 / end
4838  Flow rule #1 created
4839
4840  testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / vxlan /
4841         eth dst is 00:11:22:33:44:55 / vlan tci is 10 / end actions pf /

4843  Flow rule #2 created
4844
4845  testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / vxlan vni is 5 /
4846         eth dst is 00:11:22:33:44:55 / vlan tci is 20 / end actions pf /
4847         queue index 4 / end
4848  Flow rule #3 created

5236
5237Sample integrity rules
5238~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5239
5240Integrity rules can be created by the following commands:
5241
5242Integrity rule that forwards valid TCP packets to group 1.
5243TCP packet integrity is matched with the ``l4_ok`` bit 3.
5244
5245::
5246
5247 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress
5248            pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / integrity value mask 8 value spec 8 / end
5249            actions jump group 1 / end
5250
5251Integrity rule that forwards invalid packets to application.
5252General packet integrity is matched with the ``packet_ok`` bit 0.
5253
5254::
5255
5256 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern integrity value mask 1 value spec 0 / end actions queue index 0 / end
5257
5258Sample conntrack rules
5259~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5260
5261Conntrack rules can be set by the following commands
5262
5263Need to construct the connection context with provided information.
5264In the first table, create a flow rule by using conntrack action and jump to
5265the next table. In the next table, create a rule to check the state.
5266
5267::
5268
5269 testpmd> set conntrack com peer 1 is_orig 1 enable 1 live 1 sack 1 cack 0
5270        last_dir 0 liberal 0 state 1 max_ack_win 7 r_lim 5 last_win 510
5271        last_seq 2632987379 last_ack 2532480967 last_end 2632987379
5272        last_index 0x8
5273 testpmd> set conntrack orig scale 7 fin 0 acked 1 unack_data 0
5274        sent_end 2632987379 reply_end 2633016339 max_win 28960
5275        max_ack 2632987379
5276 testpmd> set conntrack rply scale 7 fin 0 acked 1 unack_data 0
5277        sent_end 2532480967 reply_end 2532546247 max_win 65280
5278        max_ack 2532480967
5279 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create ingress action conntrack / end
5280 testpmd> flow create 0 group 3 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / end actions indirect 0 / jump group 5 / end
5281 testpmd> flow create 0 group 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / conntrack is 1 / end actions queue index 5 / end
5282
5283Construct the conntrack again with only "is_orig" set to 0 (other fields are
5284ignored), then use "update" interface to update the direction. Create flow
5285rules like above for the peer port.
5286
5287::
5288
5289 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 0 action conntrack_update dir / end
5290

5294Meter with policy rules can be created by the following commands:
5295
5296Need to create policy first and actions are set for green/yellow/red colors.
5297Create meter with policy id. Create flow with meter id.
5298
5299Example for policy with meter color action. The purpose is to color the packet
5300to reflect the meter color result.
5301The meter policy action list: ``green -> green, yellow -> yellow, red -> red``.
5302

5363BPF Functions
5364--------------
5365
5366The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5367
5368bpf-load
5369~~~~~~~~
5370
5371Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5372
5373   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5374
5375The available load-flags are:
5376
5377* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5378
5379* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5380
5381* ``-``: none.
5382
5383.. note::
5384
5385   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5386
5387For example:
5388
5389.. code-block:: console
5390
5391   cd examples/bpf
5392   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5393
5394Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5395
5396.. code-block:: console
5397
5398   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5399
5400To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5401
5402.. code-block:: console
5403
5404   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5405
5406bpf-unload
5407~~~~~~~~~~
5408
5409Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5410
5411   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5412
5413For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5414
5415.. code-block:: console
5416
5417   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5418
5419Flex Item Functions
5420-------------------
5421
5422The following sections show functions that configure and create flex item object,
5423create flex pattern and use it in a flow rule.
5424The commands will use 20 bytes IPv4 header for examples:
5425
5426::
5427
5428   0                   1                   2                   3

5443Create flex item
5444~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5445
5446Flex item object is created by PMD according to a new header configuration. The
5447header configuration is compiled by the testpmd and stored in
5448``rte_flow_item_flex_conf`` type variable.
5449
5450::
5451
5452   # flow flex_item create <port> <flex id> <configuration file>
5453   testpmd> flow flex_item init 0 3 ipv4_flex_config.json
5454   port-0: created flex item #3
5455
5456Flex item configuration is kept in external JSON file.
5457It describes the following header elements:
5458
5459**New header length.**
5460
5461Specify whether the new header has fixed or variable length and the basic/minimal
5462header length value.
5463
5464If header length is not fixed, header location with a value that completes header
5465length calculation and scale/offset function must be added.
5466
5467Scale function depends on port hardware.
5468
5469**Next protocol.**
5470
5471Describes location in the new header that specify following network header type.
5472
5473**Flow match samples.**
5474
5475Describes locations in the new header that will be used in flow rules.
5476
5477Number of flow samples and sample maximal length depend of port hardware.
5478
5479**Input trigger.**
5480
5481Describes preceding network header configuration.
5482
5483**Output trigger.**
5484
5485Describes conditions that trigger transfer to following network header
5486

5510Flex pattern and flow rules
5511~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5512
5513Flex pattern describe parts of network header that will trigger flex flow item hit in a flow rule.
5514Flex pattern directly related to flex item samples configuration.
5515Flex pattern can be shared between ports.
5516
5517**Flex pattern and flow rule to match IPv4 version and 20 bytes length**
5518
