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

64Command File Functions
65----------------------
66
67To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
68practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
69
70* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
71  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
72  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
73
74.. code-block:: console
75
76   ./dpdk-testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

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

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

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

641Configuration Functions
642-----------------------
643
644The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
645
646This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
647
648.. note::
649
650   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
651
652set default
653~~~~~~~~~~~
654
655Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
656
657   testpmd> set default
658
659set verbose
660~~~~~~~~~~~
661
662Set the debug verbosity level::
663
664   testpmd> set verbose (level)
665
666Available levels are as following:
667
668* ``0`` silent except for error.
669* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
670* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
671* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
672

674~~~~~~~
675
676Set the log level for a log type::
677
678	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
679
680Where:
681
682* ``type`` is the log name.
683
684* ``level`` is the log level.
685
686For example, to change the global log level::
687
688	testpmd> set log global (level)
689
690Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
691
692	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
693
694set nbport
695~~~~~~~~~~
696
697Set the number of ports used by the application:
698
699set nbport (num)
700
701This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
702
703set nbcore
704~~~~~~~~~~
705
706Set the number of cores used by the application::
707
708   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
709
710This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
711
712.. note::
713
714   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
715
716set coremask
717~~~~~~~~~~~~
718
719Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
720
721   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
722
723This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
724
725.. note::
726
727   The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
728
729set portmask
730~~~~~~~~~~~~
731
732Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
733
734   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
735
736This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
737
738set record-core-cycles
739~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
740
741Set the recording of CPU cycles::
742
743   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
744
745Where:
746
747* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
748
749* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
750
751This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
752
753set record-burst-stats
754~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
755
756Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
757
758   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
759
760Where:
761
762* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
763
764* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
765
766This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
767
768set burst
769~~~~~~~~~
770
771Set number of packets per burst::
772
773   testpmd> set burst (num)
774
775This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
776
777When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
778
779   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
780
781set rxoffs
782~~~~~~~~~~
783
784Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
785if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
786offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
787
788   testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
789
790Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
791of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
792for the remaining segments.
793
794set rxpkts
795~~~~~~~~~~
796
797Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
798feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
799(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
800pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
801to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
802mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
803from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
804mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
805
806   testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
807
808Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
809means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
810
811set rxhdrs
812~~~~~~~~~~
813
814Set the protocol headers of segments to scatter packets on receiving
815if split feature is engaged.
816Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
817(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
818
819   testpmd> set rxhdrs (eth[,ipv4]*)
820
821Where eth[,ipv4]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
822If the list of offsets is shorter than the list of segments,
823zero offsets will be used for the remaining segments.
824
825set txpkts
826~~~~~~~~~~
827
828Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
829
830   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
831
832Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
833
834set txtimes
835~~~~~~~~~~~
836
837Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
838the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
839timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
840application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
841to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
842and between the packets within the burst::
843
844   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
845
846where:
847
848* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
849  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
850  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
851  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
852  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
853  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
854  on timestamps is disabled (default).
855
856* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
857  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
858  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
859  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
860
861As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
862delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
863the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
864and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
865and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
866rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
867
868set txsplit
869~~~~~~~~~~~
870
871Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
872
873   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
874
875Where:
876
877* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
878
879* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
880  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
881  (see above).
882
883* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
884
885set corelist
886~~~~~~~~~~~~
887
888Set the list of forwarding cores::
889
890   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
891
892For example, to change the forwarding cores:
893
894.. code-block:: console
895
896   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
897   testpmd> show config fwd
898
899   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
900   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
901   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
902   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
903   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
904
905.. note::

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

1082
1083   testpmd> tx_vlan reset (port_id)
1084
1085csum set
1086~~~~~~~~
1087
1088Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
1089transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1090
1091   testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip|outer-udp) (hw|sw) (port_id)
1092
1093Where:
1094
1095* ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to  the inner layer.
1096
1097* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
1098  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gre, gtp, ipip, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1099  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1100
1101* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
1102  as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gtp, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1103  supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1104
1105.. note::
1106
1107   Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
1108
1109csum parse-tunnel
1110~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1111
1112Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1113engine::
1114
1115   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1116
1117If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1118tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1119
1120If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1121header is handled as a packet payload).
1122
1123.. note::
1124
1125   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1126
1127Example:
1128
1129Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1130
1131   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1132
1133* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1134  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1135  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1136
1137* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1138   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1185
1186If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1187packets received from the given port.
1188
1189If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1190GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1191
1192.. note::
1193
1194   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1195   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1196   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1197   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1198   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1199   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1200   transmitted to.
1201
1202show port - gro
1203~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1204
1205Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1206
1207   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1208
1209set gro flush
1210~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1211
1212Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1213
1214   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1215
1216When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1217packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1218can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1219from the reassembly tables.
1220
1221The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1222engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1223operations.
1224
1225By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1226from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1227of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1228
1229Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1230stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1231stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1232
1233set port - gso
1234~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1235
1236Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1237
1238   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1239
1240If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1241packets, transmitted on the given port.
1242
1243If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1244By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1245
1246.. note::
1247
1248   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1249   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1250   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1251   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1252   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1253   GSO-enabled ports.
1254
1255   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1256   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1257
1258   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1259
1260   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1261
1262   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1263
1264   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1265   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1266   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1267   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1268   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1269   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1270
1271set gso segsz
1272~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1273
1274Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the

1749To have a different decapsulation header, one of those commands must be called
1750before the flow rule creation.
1751
1752Config Raw Encapsulation
1753~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1754
1755Configure the raw data to be used when encapsulating a packet by
1756rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1757
1758 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1759
1760There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1761internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1762If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1763
1764 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1765
1766the default index ``0`` is used.
1767In order to use different encapsulating header, ``index`` must be specified
1768during the flow rule creation::
1769
1770 testpmd> flow create 0 egress pattern eth / ipv4 / end actions
1771        raw_encap index 2 / end
1772
1773Otherwise the default index ``0`` is used.
1774
1775Config Raw Decapsulation

1777
1778Configure the raw data to be used when decapsulating a packet by
1779rte_flow_action_raw_decap::
1780
1781 set raw_decap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1782
1783There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_decap``, this command will set

1824Port Functions
1825--------------
1826
1827The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1828
1829.. note::
1830
1831   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1832
1833.. _port_attach:
1834
1835port attach
1836~~~~~~~~~~~
1837
1838Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1839
1840   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1841
1842To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1843Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1844Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1845
1846For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1847
1848.. code-block:: console
1849
1850   # Check the status of the available devices.
1851   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1852
1853   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1854   ============================================
1855   <none>
1856
1857   Network devices using kernel driver
1858   ===================================
1859   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1860
1861
1862   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1863   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1864
1865
1866   # Recheck the status of the devices.
1867   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1868   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1869   ============================================
1870   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1871
1872To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1873
1874For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1875
1876.. code-block:: console
1877
1878   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1879   Attaching a new port...
1880   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1881   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1882   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1883   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1884   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1885   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1886   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1887   Done
1888
1889For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1890
1891.. code-block:: console
1892
1893   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1894   Attaching a new port...
1895   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1896   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1897   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1898   Done
1899
1900In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1901This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1902
1903For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1904the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1905
1906.. code-block:: console
1907
1908   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1909   Attaching a new port...
1910   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1911   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1912   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1913   Done
1914
1915
1916port detach
1917~~~~~~~~~~~
1918
1919Detach a specific port::
1920
1921   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1922
1923Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1924
1925For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1926
1927.. code-block:: console
1928
1929   testpmd> port stop 0
1930   Stopping ports...
1931   Done
1932   testpmd> port close 0
1933   Closing ports...
1934   Done
1935
1936   testpmd> port detach 0
1937   Detaching a port...
1938   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1939   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1940   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1941   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1942   Done
1943
1944
1945For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1946
1947.. code-block:: console
1948
1949   testpmd> port stop 0
1950   Stopping ports...
1951   Done
1952   testpmd> port close 0
1953   Closing ports...
1954   Done
1955
1956   testpmd> port detach 0
1957   Detaching a port...
1958   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1959   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1960   Done
1961
1962To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1963Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1964Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1965
1966For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1967
1968.. code-block:: console
1969
1970   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1971

2260
2261The following sections show functions for device operations.
2262
2263device detach
2264~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2265
2266Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2267
2268   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2269
2270Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2271
2272For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2273
2274.. code-block:: console
2275
2276    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2277    Removing a device...
2278    Port 1 is now closed
2279    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2280    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2281    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2282    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2283    Now total ports is 1
2284
2285For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2286
2287.. code-block:: console
2288
2289    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2290    Removing a device...
2291    Port 0 is now closed
2292    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2293    Now total ports is 0
2294    Done
2295
2296In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2297This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.

2867Congestion Management
2868---------------------
2869

2895
2896Filter Functions
2897----------------
2898
2899This section details the available filter functions that are available.
2900
2901Note these functions interface the deprecated legacy filtering framework,
2902superseded by *rte_flow*. See `Flow rules management`_.
2903
2904.. _testpmd_rte_flow:
2905
2906Flow rules management
2907---------------------
2908
2909Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
2910``flow`` command (configuration, validation, creation, destruction, queries
2911and operation modes).
2912
2913Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
2914features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
2915not recommended.
2916
2917``flow`` syntax
2918~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2919
2920Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
2921of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
2922other commands, in particular:
2923
2924- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
2925  token, not that of the entire command.
2926
2927- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
2928  in the contextual help).
2929
2930The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
2931their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the

3263
3264The usual error message is shown when operations results cannot be pulled::
3265
3266   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3267
3268Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3269~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3270
3271``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3272
3273   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3274
3275If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3276
3277   port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3278
3279Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3280
3281Destroying tunnel offload stub
3282~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3283
3284``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3285
3286   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3287
3288Listing tunnel offload stubs
3289~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3290
3291``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3292
3293   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3294
3295Validating flow rules
3296~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3297
3298``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3299underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3300bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3301
3302   flow validate {port_id}
3303      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3304      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3305      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3306
3307If successful, it will show::
3308
3309   Flow rule validated
3310
3311Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3312
3313   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3314
3315This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3316described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3317
3318Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3319index 6 is supported::
3320
3321   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3322      actions queue index 6 / end
3323   Flow rule validated
3324   testpmd>
3325
3326Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3327
3328   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3329      actions drop / end
3330   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3331   testpmd>
3332
3333Creating flow rules
3334~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3335
3336``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3337to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3338
3339   flow create {port_id}
3340      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3341      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3342      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3343      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3344
3345If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3346
3347   Flow rule #[...] created
3348
3349Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3350
3351   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3352
3353Parameters describe in the following order:
3354
3355- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3356- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3357- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3358  *end* pattern item.
3359- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3360  action.
3361
3362These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3363underlying functions.
3364
3365The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3366
3367   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3368
3369Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3370one.
3371
3372**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3373
3374Enqueueing creation of flow rules
3375~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3376
3377``flow queue create`` adds creation operation of a flow rule to a queue.
3378It is bound to ``rte_flow_async_create()``::
3379
3380   flow queue {port_id} create {queue_id}
3381       [postpone {boolean}] template_table {table_id}
3382       pattern_template {pattern_template_index}
3383       actions_template {actions_template_index}
3384       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3385       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3386
3387If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3388
3389   Flow rule #[...] creaion enqueued
3390
3391Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3392
3393   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3394
3395This command uses the same pattern items and actions as ``flow create``,
3396their format is described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3397
3398``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
3399
3400Attributes
3401^^^^^^^^^^
3402
3403These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3404specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3405
3406- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3407- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3408- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3409- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3410- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3411
3412Please note that use of ``transfer`` attribute requires that the flow and
3413its indirect components be managed via so-called ``transfer`` proxy port.
3414See `show flow transfer proxy port ID for the given port`_ for details.
3415
3416Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3417value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3418
3419   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3420
3421Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3422
3423While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3424simultaneously.
3425
3426Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3427
3428   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3429
3430Tunnel offload
3431^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3432
3433Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3434
3435- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3436- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunnel offload match type.
3437
3438Matching pattern
3439^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3440
3441A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3442items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3443
3444Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3445rte_flow_item_type``).
3446
3447The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3448below::
3449
3450   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3451
3452Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3453layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3454unlikely to match any packet::
3455
3456   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3457
3458More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3459documentation.
3460
3461Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3462``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3463
3464   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3465      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3466
3467This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3468
3469In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3470``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3471in a similar fashion.
3472
3473The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3474and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3475accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3476
3477- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3478- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3479- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3480- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3481- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3482
3483These yield identical results::
3484
3485   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3486
3487::
3488
3489   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3490
3491::
3492
3493   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3494
3495::
3496
3497   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3498
3499::
3500
3501   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3502
3503Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3504
3505   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3506
3507Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3508
3509   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3510      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3511
3512Properties can be modified multiple times::
3513
3514   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3515
3516::
3517
3518   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3519

3790terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3791
3792Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3793rte_flow_action_type``).
3794
3795Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3796
3797   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3798      actions drop / end
3799
3800Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3801there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3802queue index.
3803
3804This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3805
3806   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3807      actions queue index 6 / end
3808
3809While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3810
3811   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3812      actions queue / end
3813
3814As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3815rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3816
3817   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3818
3819::
3820
3821   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3822
3823All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3824action of a given type is taken into account::
3825
3826   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3827
3828::
3829
3830   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3831
3832::
3833
3834   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3835
3836Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3837actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3838
3839   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3840
3841::
3842
3843   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3844
3845::
3846
3847   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3848
3849Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4073Destroying flow rules
4074~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4075
4076``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4077by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4078times as necessary::
4079
4080   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4081
4082If successful, it will show::
4083
4084   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4085
4086It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4087message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4088
4089   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4090
4091``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4092arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4093
4094   flow flush {port_id}
4095
4096Any errors are reported as above.
4097
4098Creating several rules and destroying them::
4099
4100   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4101      actions queue index 2 / end
4102   Flow rule #0 created
4103   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4104      actions queue index 3 / end
4105   Flow rule #1 created
4106   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4107   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4108   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4109   testpmd>
4110
4111The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4112
4113   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4114      actions queue index 2 / end
4115   Flow rule #0 created
4116   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4117      actions queue index 3 / end
4118   Flow rule #1 created
4119   testpmd> flow flush 0
4120   testpmd>
4121
4122Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4123
4124   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4125      actions queue index 2 / end
4126   Flow rule #0 created
4127   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4128      actions queue index 3 / end
4129   Flow rule #1 created
4130   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4131   testpmd>
4132   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4133   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4134   testpmd>
4135
4136Enqueueing destruction of flow rules
4137~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4138
4139``flow queue destroy`` adds destruction operations to destroy one or more rules
4140from their rule ID (as returned by ``flow queue create``) to a queue,
4141this command calls ``rte_flow_async_destroy()`` as many times as necessary::
4142
4143   flow queue {port_id} destroy {queue_id}
4144        [postpone {boolean}] rule {rule_id} [...]
4145
4146If successful, it will show::
4147
4148   Flow rule #[...] destruction enqueued
4149
4150It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4151message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4152
4153   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4154
4155``flow queue pull`` must be called to retrieve the operation status.
4156
4157Querying flow rules
4158~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4159
4160``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4161ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4162command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4163
4164   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4165
4166If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4167or the following message::
4168
4169   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4170
4171Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4172error occurred::
4173
4174   Flow rule #[...] not found
4175
4176::
4177
4178   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4179
4180Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4181number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4182output has the following format::
4183
4184   count:
4185    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4186    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4187    hits: [...] # number of packets
4188    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4189
4190Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4191
4192   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4193      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4194   Flow rule #4 created
4195   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4196   count:
4197    hits_set: 1
4198    bytes_set: 0
4199    hits: 386446
4200    bytes: 0
4201   testpmd>
4202
4203Listing flow rules
4204~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4205
4206``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4207filtered by group identifiers::
4208
4209   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4210
4211This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4212exist::
4213
4214   Invalid port [...]
4215
4216Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4217flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4218configured on the device::
4219
4220   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4221   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4222
4223``Attr`` column flags:
4224
4225- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4226- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4227
4228Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4229
4230   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4231      actions queue index 6 / end
4232   Flow rule #0 created
4233   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4234      actions queue index 2 / end
4235   Flow rule #1 created
4236   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4237      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4238   Flow rule #2 created
4239   testpmd> flow list 0
4240   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4241   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4242   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4243   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4244   testpmd>
4245
4246Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4247
4248   testpmd> flow list 1
4249   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4250   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4251   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4252   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4253   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4254   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4255   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4256   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4257   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4258   testpmd>
4259
4260Output can be limited to specific groups::
4261
4262   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4263   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4264   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4265   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4266   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4267   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4268   testpmd>
4269
4270Toggling isolated mode
4271~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4272
4273``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4274must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4275is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4276resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4277
4278 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4279
4280If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4281
4282 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4283    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4284
4285Or::
4286
4287 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4288    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4289
4290Otherwise, in case of error::
4291
4292   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4293
4294Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4295ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4296first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4297
4298Enabling isolated mode::
4299
4300 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4301 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4302 testpmd>
4303
4304Disabling isolated mode::
4305
4306 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4307 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4308 testpmd>

4310Dumping HW internal information
4311~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4312
4313``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4314all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4315
4316   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4317
4318If successful, it will show::
4319
4320   Flow dump finished
4321
4322Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4323
4324   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]

4326Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4327~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4328
4329``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4330and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD::
4331
4332   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4333
4334Listing current aged flow rules::
4335
4336   testpmd> flow aged 0
4337   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4338   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4339      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4340   Flow rule #0 created
4341   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4342      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end

4349   Flow rule #3 created
4350
4351
4352Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4353information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4354those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4355will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4356
4357   testpmd> flow aged 0
4358   Port 0 total aged flows: 4

5072Match packets coming from a VM which is referred to by means of
5073its representor ethdev (port 1), mirror 50% of them to the
5074said representor (for bookkeeping) as well as encapsulate
5075all the packets and steer them to the physical port:
5076
5077::
5078
5079   testpmd> set sample_actions 0 port_representor ethdev_port_id 1 / end
5080

5092
5093Integrity rules can be created by the following commands:
5094
5095Integrity rule that forwards valid TCP packets to group 1.
5096TCP packet integrity is matched with the ``l4_ok`` bit 3.
5097
5098::
5099
5100 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress
5101            pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / integrity value mask 8 value spec 8 / end
5102            actions jump group 1 / end
5103
5104Integrity rule that forwards invalid packets to application.
5105General packet integrity is matched with the ``packet_ok`` bit 0.
5106

5113
5114Conntrack rules can be set by the following commands
5115
5116Need to construct the connection context with provided information.
5117In the first table, create a flow rule by using conntrack action and jump to
5118the next table. In the next table, create a rule to check the state.
5119
5120::
5121
5122 testpmd> set conntrack com peer 1 is_orig 1 enable 1 live 1 sack 1 cack 0
5123        last_dir 0 liberal 0 state 1 max_ack_win 7 r_lim 5 last_win 510

5134 testpmd> flow create 0 group 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / conntrack is 1 / end actions queue index 5 / end
5135
5136Construct the conntrack again with only "is_orig" set to 0 (other fields are
5137ignored), then use "update" interface to update the direction. Create flow
5138rules like above for the peer port.
5139
5140::
5141
5142 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 0 action conntrack_update dir / end
5143

5215
5216BPF Functions
5217--------------
5218
5219The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5220
5221bpf-load
5222~~~~~~~~
5223
5224Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5225
5226   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5227
5228The available load-flags are:
5229
5230* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5231
5232* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5233
5234* ``-``: none.
5235
5236.. note::
5237
5238   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5239
5240For example:
5241
5242.. code-block:: console
5243
5244   cd examples/bpf
5245   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5246
5247Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5248
5249.. code-block:: console
5250
5251   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5252
5253To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5254
5255.. code-block:: console
5256
5257   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5258
5259bpf-unload
5260~~~~~~~~~~
5261
5262Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5263
5264   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5265
5266For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5267
5268.. code-block:: console
5269
5270   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5271
5272Flex Item Functions
5273-------------------
5274
5275The following sections show functions that configure and create flex item object,
5276create flex pattern and use it in a flow rule.
5277The commands will use 20 bytes IPv4 header for examples:
5278
5279::
5280
5281   0                   1                   2                   3

5296Create flex item
5297~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5298
5299Flex item object is created by PMD according to a new header configuration. The
5300header configuration is compiled by the testpmd and stored in
5301``rte_flow_item_flex_conf`` type variable.
5302
5303::
5304
5305   # flow flex_item create <port> <flex id> <configuration file>
5306   testpmd> flow flex_item init 0 3 ipv4_flex_config.json
5307   port-0: created flex item #3
5308
5309Flex item configuration is kept in external JSON file.
5310It describes the following header elements:
5311
5312**New header length.**
5313
5314Specify whether the new header has fixed or variable length and the basic/minimal
5315header length value.
5316
5317If header length is not fixed, header location with a value that completes header
5318length calculation and scale/offset function must be added.
5319
5320Scale function depends on port hardware.
5321
5322**Next protocol.**
5323
5324Describes location in the new header that specify following network header type.
5325
5326**Flow match samples.**
5327
5328Describes locations in the new header that will be used in flow rules.
5329
5330Number of flow samples and sample maximal length depend of port hardware.
5331
5332**Input trigger.**
5333
5334Describes preceding network header configuration.
5335
5336**Output trigger.**
5337
5338Describes conditions that trigger transfer to following network header
5339
5340.. code-block:: json
5341
5342   {
5343      "next_header": { "field_mode": "FIELD_MODE_FIXED", "field_size": 20},

5362
5363Flex pattern and flow rules
5364~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5365
5366Flex pattern describe parts of network header that will trigger flex flow item hit in a flow rule.
5367Flex pattern directly related to flex item samples configuration.
5368Flex pattern can be shared between ports.
5369
5370**Flex pattern and flow rule to match IPv4 version and 20 bytes length**
5371
5372::
5373
5374   # set flex_pattern <pattern_id> is <hex bytes sequence>
5375   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 5 is 45FF
5376   created pattern #5
5377
5378   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / flex item is 3 pattern is 5 / end actions mark id 1 / queue index 0 / end
5379   Flow rule #0 created
5380
5381**Flex pattern and flow rule to match packets with source address 1.2.3.4**
5382
5383::
5384
5385   testpmd> flow flex_item pattern 2 spec 45000000000000000000000001020304 mask FF0000000000000000000000FFFFFFFF
5386   created pattern #2
5387
5388   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / flex item is 3 pattern is 2 / end actions mark id 1 / queue index 0 / end
5389   Flow rule #0 created
