33Testpmd Runtime Functions
34=========================
35
36Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
37it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
38configure the application, display statistics (including the extended NIC
39statistics aka xstats) , set the Flow Director and other tasks::
40
41   testpmd>
42
43The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
44Common bash command-line functions such as ``Ctrl+a`` and ``Ctrl+e`` to go to the start and end of the prompt line are supported
45as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
46
47There is also support for tab completion.
48If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
49
50.. code-block:: console
51
52   testpmd> show port <TAB>
53
54       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
55       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
56       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
57       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
58       ...
59
60
61.. note::
62
63   Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
64
65      testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
66               (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
67
68In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
69
70Help Functions
71--------------
72
73The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
74These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
75
76.. code-block:: console
77
78   testpmd> help
79
80       help control    : Start and stop forwarding.
81       help display    : Displaying port, stats and config information.
82       help config     : Configuration information.
83       help ports      : Configuring ports.
84       help registers  : Reading and setting port registers.
85       help filters    : Filters configuration help.
86       help all        : All of the above sections.
87
88
89Command File Functions
90----------------------
91
92To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
93practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
94
95* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
96  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
97  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
98
99.. code-block:: console
100
101   ./testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

119   testpmd>
120
121
122* At run-time additional commands can be loaded in bulk by invoking the ``load FILENAME``
123  command.
124
125.. code-block:: console
126
127   testpmd> load /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
128   Flow rule #0 created
129   Flow rule #1 created

133   Flow rule #499 created
134   Read all CLI commands from /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
135   testpmd>
136
137
138In all cases output from any included command will be displayed as standard output.
139Execution will continue until the end of the file is reached regardless of
140whether any errors occur.  The end user must examine the output to determine if
141any failures occurred.

262
263clear port
264~~~~~~~~~~
265
266Clear the port statistics for a given port or for all ports::
267
268   testpmd> clear port (info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap) (port_id|all)
269
270For example::
271
272   testpmd> clear port stats all
273
274show (rxq|txq)
275~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
276
277Display information for a given port's RX/TX queue::
278
279   testpmd> show (rxq|txq) info (port_id) (queue_id)
280
281show config
282~~~~~~~~~~~
283
284Displays the configuration of the application.
285The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
286
287   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|txpkts)
288
289The available information categories are:
290
291* ``rxtx``: RX/TX configuration items.
292
293* ``cores``: List of forwarding cores.
294
295* ``fwd``: Packet forwarding configuration.
296
297* ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
298
299For example:
300
301.. code-block:: console
302
303   testpmd> show config rxtx
304
305   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
306   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
307   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
308   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
309   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
310   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
311   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
312
313set fwd
314~~~~~~~
315
316Set the packet forwarding mode::
317
318   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
319                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho) (""|retry)
320
321``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
322
323The available information categories are:
324
325* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
326  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
327  This is the default mode.
328
329* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
330  Default application behaviour is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
331  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
332  'eth-peer-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
333
334* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
335  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
336
337* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
338  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
339
340* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
341
342* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
343
344* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
345
346* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
347
348* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
349
350Note: TX timestamping is only available in the "Full Featured" TX path. To force ``testpmd`` into this mode set ``--txqflags=0``.
351
352Example::
353
354   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
355
356   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
357
358
359read rxd
360~~~~~~~~
361
362Display an RX descriptor for a port RX queue::
363
364   testpmd> read rxd (port_id) (queue_id) (rxd_id)
365
366For example::
367
368   testpmd> read rxd 0 0 4
369        0x0000000B - 0x001D0180 / 0x0000000B - 0x001D0180
370
371read txd
372~~~~~~~~
373
374Display a TX descriptor for a port TX queue::
375
376   testpmd> read txd (port_id) (queue_id) (txd_id)
377
378For example::
379
380   testpmd> read txd 0 0 4
381        0x00000001 - 0x24C3C440 / 0x000F0000 - 0x2330003C
382
383ddp get list
384~~~~~~~~~~~~
385
386Get loaded dynamic device personalization (DDP) package info list::
387
388   testpmd> ddp get list (port_id)
389
390show vf stats
391~~~~~~~~~~~~~
392
393Display VF statistics::
394
395   testpmd> show vf stats (port_id) (vf_id)
396
397clear vf stats
398~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
399

402   testpmd> clear vf stats (port_id) (vf_id)
403
404Configuration Functions
405-----------------------
406
407The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
408
409This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
410
411.. note::
412
413   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
414
415set default
416~~~~~~~~~~~
417
418Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
419
420   testpmd> set default
421
422set verbose
423~~~~~~~~~~~
424
425Set the debug verbosity level::
426
427   testpmd> set verbose (level)
428
429Currently the only available levels are 0 (silent except for error) and 1 (fully verbose).
430
431set nbport
432~~~~~~~~~~
433
434Set the number of ports used by the application:
435
436set nbport (num)
437
438This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
439
440set nbcore
441~~~~~~~~~~
442
443Set the number of cores used by the application::
444
445   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
446
447This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
448
449.. note::
450
451   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
452
453set coremask
454~~~~~~~~~~~~
455
456Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
457
458   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
459
460This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
461
462.. note::
463
464   The master lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
465
466set portmask
467~~~~~~~~~~~~
468
469Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
470
471   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
472
473This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
474
475set burst
476~~~~~~~~~
477
478Set number of packets per burst::
479
480   testpmd> set burst (num)
481
482This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
483
484When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
485
486   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
487
488set txpkts
489~~~~~~~~~~
490
491Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
492
493   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
494
495Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
496
497set txsplit
498~~~~~~~~~~~
499
500Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
501
502   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
503
504Where:
505
506* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
507
508* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
509  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
510  (see above).
511
512* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
513
514set corelist
515~~~~~~~~~~~~
516
517Set the list of forwarding cores::
518
519   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
520
521For example, to change the forwarding cores:
522
523.. code-block:: console
524
525   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
526   testpmd> show config fwd
527
528   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
529   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
530   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
531   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
532   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00

820
821Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
822transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
823
824   testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip) (hw|sw) (port_id)
825
826Where:
827
828* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
829
830* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
831  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
832  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
833
834.. note::
835
836   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
837
838csum parse-tunnel
839~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
840
841Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
842engine::
843
844   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
845
846If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
847tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
848
849If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
850header is handled as a packet payload).
851
852.. note::
853
854   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
855
856Example:
857
858Consider a packet in packet like the following::
859
860   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
861
862* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
863  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
864  ``outer-ip parameter`` relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out``).
865
866* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
867   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1265Port Functions
1266--------------
1267
1268The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1269
1270.. note::
1271
1272   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1273
1274port attach
1275~~~~~~~~~~~
1276
1277Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1278
1279   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1280
1281To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1282Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1283Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1284
1285For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1286
1287.. code-block:: console
1288
1289   # Check the status of the available devices.
1290   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1291
1292   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1293   ============================================
1294   <none>
1295
1296   Network devices using kernel driver
1297   ===================================
1298   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1299
1300
1301   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1302   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1303
1304
1305   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1306   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1307   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1308   ============================================
1309   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1310
1311To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1312
1313For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1314
1315.. code-block:: console
1316
1317   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1318   Attaching a new port...
1319   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1320   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1321   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1322   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1323   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1324   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1325   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1326   Done
1327
1328For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1329
1330.. code-block:: console
1331
1332   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1333   Attaching a new port...
1334   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1335   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1336   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1337   Done
1338
1339In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1340This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1341
1342For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1343the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1344
1345.. code-block:: console
1346
1347   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1348   Attaching a new port...
1349   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1350   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1351   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1352   Done
1353
1354
1355port detach
1356~~~~~~~~~~~
1357
1358Detach a specific port::
1359
1360   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1361
1362Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1363
1364For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1365
1366.. code-block:: console
1367
1368   testpmd> port stop 0
1369   Stopping ports...
1370   Done
1371   testpmd> port close 0
1372   Closing ports...
1373   Done
1374
1375   testpmd> port detach 0
1376   Detaching a port...
1377   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1378   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1379   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1380   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1381   Done
1382
1383
1384For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1385
1386.. code-block:: console
1387
1388   testpmd> port stop 0
1389   Stopping ports...
1390   Done
1391   testpmd> port close 0
1392   Closing ports...
1393   Done
1394
1395   testpmd> port detach 0
1396   Detaching a port...
1397   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1398   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1399   Done
1400
1401To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1402Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1403Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1404
1405For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1406
1407.. code-block:: console
1408
1409   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1410
1411   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

1657manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.
1658
1659create bonded device
1660~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1661
1662Create a new bonding device::
1663
1664   testpmd> create bonded device (mode) (socket)
1665
1666For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0::
1667
1668   testpmd> create bonded 1 0
1669   created new bonded device (port X)
1670
1671add bonding slave
1672~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1673
1674Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
1675
1676   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1677
1678For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1679
1680   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
1681
1682
1683remove bonding slave
1684~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1685
1686Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
1687
1688   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1689
1690For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1691
1692   testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
1693
1694set bonding mode
1695~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1696
1697Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device::
1698
1699   testpmd> set bonding mode (value) (port id)
1700
1701For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3)::
1702
1703   testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
1704
1705set bonding primary
1706~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1707
1708Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device::
1709
1710   testpmd> set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
1711
1712For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1713
1714   testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10
1715
1716set bonding mac
1717~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1718

1736   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy 10 l34
1737
1738
1739set bonding mon_period
1740~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1741
1742Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding device.
1743
1744This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
1745When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
1746link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
1747
1748   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
1749
1750For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::

1774Register Functions
1775------------------
1776
1777The Register Functions can be used to read from and write to registers on the network card referenced by a port number.
1778This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
1779Reference should be made to the appropriate datasheet for the network card for details on the register addresses
1780and fields that can be accessed.
1781
1782read reg
1783~~~~~~~~
1784
1785Display the value of a port register::
1786
1787   testpmd> read reg (port_id) (address)
1788
1789For example, to examine the Flow Director control register (FDIRCTL, 0x0000EE000) on an Intel 82599 10 GbE Controller::
1790
1791   testpmd> read reg 0 0xEE00
1792   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x4A060029 (1241907241)
1793
1794read regfield
1795~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1796
1797Display a port register bit field::
1798
1799   testpmd> read regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y)
1800
1801For example, reading the lowest two bits from the register in the example above::
1802
1803   testpmd> read regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1
1804   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bits[0, 1]=0x1 (1)
1805
1806read regbit
1807~~~~~~~~~~~
1808
1809Display a single port register bit::
1810
1811   testpmd> read regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x)
1812
1813For example, reading the lowest bit from the register in the example above::
1814
1815   testpmd> read regbit 0 0xEE00 0
1816   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bit 0=1
1817
1818write reg
1819~~~~~~~~~
1820
1821Set the value of a port register::
1822
1823   testpmd> write reg (port_id) (address) (value)
1824
1825For example, to clear a register::
1826
1827   testpmd> write reg 0 0xEE00 0x0
1828   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000000 (0)
1829
1830write regfield
1831~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1832
1833Set bit field of a port register::
1834
1835   testpmd> write regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y) (value)
1836
1837For example, writing to the register cleared in the example above::
1838
1839   testpmd> write regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1 2
1840   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000002 (2)
1841
1842write regbit
1843~~~~~~~~~~~~
1844
1845Set single bit value of a port register::
1846
1847   testpmd> write regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (value)
1848
1849For example, to set the high bit in the register from the example above::
1850
1851   testpmd> write regbit 0 0xEE00 31 1
1852   port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x8000000A (2147483658)

2029.. _testpmd_flow_director:
2030
2031flow_director_filter
2032~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2033
2034The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
2035
2036Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
2037Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
2038
2039* Perfect match filters.
2040  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2041  The masked fields are for IP flow.
2042
2043* Signature filters.
2044  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
2045
2046* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
2047  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2048  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
2049
2050* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
2051  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
2052  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
2053
2054The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
2055per flow type and the flexible payload.
2056
2057The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
2058are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
2059
2060Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

2197
2198For example, to set symmetric hash enable configuration of port 1 to enable::
2199
2200   testpmd> set_sym_hash_ena_per_port 1 enable
2201

2206
2207   get_hash_global_config (port_id)
2208
2209For example, to get the global configurations of hash filters of port 1::
2210
2211   testpmd> get_hash_global_config 1
2212
2213set_hash_global_config
2214~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2215
2216Set the global configurations of hash filters::
2217
2218   set_hash_global_config (port_id) (toeplitz|simple_xor|default) \
2219   (ipv4|ipv4-frag|ipv4-tcp|ipv4-udp|ipv4-sctp|ipv4-other|ipv6|ipv6-frag| \
2220   ipv6-tcp|ipv6-udp|ipv6-sctp|ipv6-other|l2_payload) \
2221   (enable|disable)
2222
2223For example, to enable simple_xor for flow type of ipv6 on port 2::

2246
2247The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet, i.e. specific input set
2248on per flow type and the flexible payload. This command can be used to change input set for each flow type.
2249
2250Set the input set for flow director::
2251
2252   set_fdir_input_set (port_id) (ipv4-frag|ipv4-tcp|ipv4-udp|ipv4-sctp| \

2276
2277Flow rules management
2278---------------------
2279
2280Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
2281``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
2282modes).
2283
2284Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
2285features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
2286not recommended.
2287
2288``flow`` syntax
2289~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2290
2291Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
2292of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
2293other commands, in particular:
2294
2295- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
2296  token, not that of the entire command.
2297
2298- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
2299  in the contextual help).
2300
2301The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
2302their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
2303following sections.
2304
2305- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
2306
2307   flow validate {port_id}
2308       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2309       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2310       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2311
2312- Create a flow rule::
2313
2314   flow create {port_id}
2315       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2316       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2317       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2318
2319- Destroy specific flow rules::
2320
2321   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
2322
2323- Destroy all flow rules::
2324
2325   flow flush {port_id}
2326
2327- Query an existing flow rule::
2328
2329   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
2330
2331- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
2332  identifiers::
2333
2334   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
2335
2336- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
2337
2338   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
2339
2340Validating flow rules
2341~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2342
2343``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
2344underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
2345bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
2346
2347   flow validate {port_id}
2348      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2349      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2350      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2351
2352If successful, it will show::
2353
2354   Flow rule validated
2355
2356Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
2357
2358   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2359
2360This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
2361described in `Creating flow rules`_.
2362
2363Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
2364index 6 is supported::
2365
2366   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
2367      actions queue index 6 / end
2368   Flow rule validated
2369   testpmd>
2370
2371Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
2372
2373   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
2374      actions drop / end
2375   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
2376   testpmd>
2377
2378Creating flow rules
2379~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2380
2381``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
2382to ``rte_flow_create()``::
2383
2384   flow create {port_id}
2385      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress]
2386      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
2387      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
2388
2389If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
2390
2391   Flow rule #[...] created
2392
2393Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
2394
2395   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2396
2397Parameters describe in the following order:
2398
2399- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress* tokens).
2400- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
2401  *end* pattern item.
2402- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
2403  action.
2404
2405These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
2406underlying functions.
2407
2408The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
2409
2410   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
2411
2412Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
2413one.
2414
2415**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
2416
2417Attributes
2418^^^^^^^^^^
2419
2420These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
2421specified before the ``pattern`` token.
2422
2423- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
2424- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
2425- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
2426- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
2427
2428Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
2429value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
2430
2431   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
2432
2433Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
2434
2435While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
2436simultaneously.
2437
2438Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
2439
2440   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
2441
2442Matching pattern
2443^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2444
2445A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
2446items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
2447
2448Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
2449rte_flow_item_type``).
2450
2451The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
2452below::
2453
2454   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
2455
2456Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
2457layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
2458unlikely to match any packet::
2459
2460   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
2461
2462More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
2463documentation.
2464
2465Several items support additional specification structures, for example
2466``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
2467
2468   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
2469      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
2470
2471This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
2472
2473In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
2474``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
2475in a similar fashion.
2476
2477The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
2478and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
2479accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
2480
2481- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
2482- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
2483- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
2484- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
2485- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask from a prefix length.
2486
2487These yield identical results::
2488
2489   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
2490
2491::
2492
2493   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
2494
2495::
2496
2497   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
2498
2499::
2500
2501   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
2502
2503::
2504
2505   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
2506
2507Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
2508
2509   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
2510
2511Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
2512
2513   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
2514      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
2515
2516Properties can be modified multiple times::
2517
2518   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
2519
2520::
2521
2522   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
2523

2633
2634Actions list
2635^^^^^^^^^^^^
2636
2637A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
2638`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
2639terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
2640
2641Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
2642rte_flow_action_type``).
2643
2644Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
2645
2646   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2647      actions drop / end
2648
2649Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
2650there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
2651queue index.
2652
2653This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
2654
2655   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2656      actions queue index 6 / end
2657
2658While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
2659
2660   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2661      actions queue / end
2662
2663As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
2664rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
2665
2666   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
2667
2668::
2669
2670   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
2671
2672All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
2673action of a given type is taken into account::
2674
2675   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
2676
2677::
2678
2679   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
2680
2681::
2682
2683   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
2684
2685Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
2686actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
2687
2688   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
2689
2690::
2691
2692   drop / dup index 6 / end # same as above
2693
2694::
2695
2696   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
2697
2698::
2699
2700   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
2701
2702Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
2703
2704Actions
2705^^^^^^^
2706
2707This section lists supported actions and their attributes, if any.
2708
2709- ``end``: end list of actions.
2710
2711- ``void``: no-op action.
2712
2713- ``passthru``: let subsequent rule process matched packets.
2714
2715- ``mark``: attach 32 bit value to packets.
2716
2717  - ``id {unsigned}``: 32 bit value to return with packets.
2718
2719- ``flag``: flag packets.
2720
2721- ``queue``: assign packets to a given queue index.
2722
2723  - ``index {unsigned}``: queue index to use.
2724
2725- ``drop``: drop packets (note: passthru has priority).
2726
2727- ``count``: enable counters for this rule.
2728
2729- ``dup``: duplicate packets to a given queue index.
2730
2731  - ``index {unsigned}``: queue index to duplicate packets to.
2732
2733- ``rss``: spread packets among several queues.
2734
2735  - ``queues [{unsigned} [...]] end``: queue indices to use.
2736

2738
2739- ``vf``: redirect packets to virtual device function.
2740
2741  - ``original {boolean}``: use original VF ID if possible.
2742  - ``id {unsigned}``: VF ID to redirect packets to.
2743
2744Destroying flow rules
2745~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2746
2747``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
2748by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
2749times as necessary::
2750
2751   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
2752
2753If successful, it will show::
2754
2755   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
2756
2757It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
2758message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
2759
2760   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2761
2762``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
2763arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
2764
2765   flow flush {port_id}
2766
2767Any errors are reported as above.
2768
2769Creating several rules and destroying them::
2770
2771   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2772      actions queue index 2 / end
2773   Flow rule #0 created
2774   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2775      actions queue index 3 / end
2776   Flow rule #1 created
2777   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
2778   Flow rule #1 destroyed
2779   Flow rule #0 destroyed
2780   testpmd>
2781
2782The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
2783
2784   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2785      actions queue index 2 / end
2786   Flow rule #0 created
2787   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2788      actions queue index 3 / end
2789   Flow rule #1 created
2790   testpmd> flow flush 0
2791   testpmd>
2792
2793Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
2794
2795   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2796      actions queue index 2 / end
2797   Flow rule #0 created
2798   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2799      actions queue index 3 / end
2800   Flow rule #1 created
2801   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
2802   testpmd>
2803   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
2804   Flow rule #0 destroyed
2805   testpmd>
2806
2807Querying flow rules
2808~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2809
2810``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
2811ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
2812command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
2813
2814   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
2815
2816If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
2817or the following message::
2818
2819   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
2820
2821Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
2822error occurred::
2823
2824   Flow rule #[...] not found
2825
2826::
2827
2828   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2829
2830Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
2831number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
2832output has the following format::
2833
2834   count:
2835    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
2836    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
2837    hits: [...] # number of packets
2838    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
2839
2840Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
2841
2842   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
2843      actions queue index 6 / count / end
2844   Flow rule #4 created
2845   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
2846   count:
2847    hits_set: 1
2848    bytes_set: 0
2849    hits: 386446
2850    bytes: 0
2851   testpmd>
2852
2853Listing flow rules
2854~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2855
2856``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
2857filtered by group identifiers::
2858
2859   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
2860
2861This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
2862exist::
2863
2864   Invalid port [...]
2865
2866Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
2867flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
2868configured on the device::
2869
2870   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2871   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
2872
2873``Attr`` column flags:
2874
2875- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
2876- ``e`` for ``egress``.
2877
2878Creating several flow rules and listing them::
2879
2880   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
2881      actions queue index 6 / end
2882   Flow rule #0 created
2883   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
2884      actions queue index 2 / end
2885   Flow rule #1 created
2886   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
2887      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
2888   Flow rule #2 created
2889   testpmd> flow list 0
2890   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2891   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
2892   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
2893   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
2894   testpmd>
2895
2896Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
2897
2898   testpmd> flow list 1
2899   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2900   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
2901   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
2902   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
2903   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
2904   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
2905   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
2906   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
2907   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
2908   testpmd>
2909
2910Output can be limited to specific groups::
2911
2912   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
2913   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2914   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
2915   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
2916   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
2917   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
2918   testpmd>
2919
2920Toggling isolated mode
2921~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2922
2923``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
2924must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
2925is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
2926resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
2927
2928 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
2929
2930If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
2931
2932 Ingress traffic on port [...]
2933    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
2934
2935Or::
2936
2937 Ingress traffic on port [...]
2938    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
2939
2940Otherwise, in case of error::
2941
2942   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
2943
2944Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
2945ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
2946first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
2947
2948Enabling isolated mode::
2949
2950 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
2951 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
2952 testpmd>
2953
2954Disabling isolated mode::
2955
2956 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
2957 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
2958 testpmd>
2959
2960Sample QinQ flow rules
2961~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2962
2963Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
2964
2965   testpmd> port stop 0
2966   testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
2967
2968The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
2969
2970To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
2971
2972   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
2973   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
2974   testpmd> port start 0
2975
2976Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
2977
2978::
2979
2980   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
2981       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
2982   Flow rule #0 validated
2983
2984   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 4 /
2985       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 123 / queue index 0 / end
2986   Flow rule #0 created
2987
2988   testpmd> flow list 0
2989   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
2990   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
2991
2992Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
2993
2994::
2995
2996   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
2997        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end
2998   Flow rule #1 validated
2999
3000   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
3001        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 1 / end
3002   Flow rule #1 created
3003
3004   testpmd> flow list 0
3005   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
3006   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
3007   1       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>PF QUEUE
3008
