Testpmd Runtime Functions
=========================

Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (-i|--interactive),
it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
configure the application, display statistics, set the Flow Director and other tasks.

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd>

The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
Common bash command- line functions such as Ctrl+a and Ctrl+e to go to the start and end of the prompt line are supported
as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.

There is also support for tab completion.
If you type a partial command and hit <TAB> you get a list of the available completions:

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> show port <TAB>

        info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap X
        info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap all
        stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap X
        stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap all
        ...

    These threshold options are also available from the command-line.

Flow Director Functions
-----------------------

The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.

Two types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match and Signature filters:

*   Perfect match filters.
    The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.

*   Signature filters.
    The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.

The Flow Director filters can match the following fields in a packet:

*   Source IP and destination IP addresses.

*   Source port and destination port numbers (for UDP and TCP packets).

*   IPv4/IPv6 and UDP/ TCP/SCTP protocol match.

*   VLAN header.

*   Flexible 2-byte tuple match anywhere in the first 64 bytes of the packet.

The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters are only applied to certain fields
or parts of the fields.
For example it is possible to mask out sub-nets of IP addresses or to ignore VLAN headers.

In the following sections, several common parameters are used in the Flow Director filters.
These are explained below:

*   src: A pair of source address values. The source IP, in IPv4 or IPv6 format, and the source port:

    src 192.168.0.1 1024

    src 2001:DB8:85A3:0:0:8A2E:370:7000 1024

*   dst: A pair of destination address values. The destination IP, in IPv4 or IPv6 format, and the destination port.

*   flexbytes: A 2-byte tuple to be matched within the first 64 bytes of a packet.

The offset where the match occurs is set by the --pkt-filter-flexbytes-offset command-line parameter
and is counted from the first byte of the destination Ethernet MAC address.
The default offset is 0xC bytes, which is the "Type" word in the MAC header.
Typically, the flexbyte value is set to 0x0800 to match the IPv4 MAC type or 0x86DD to match IPv6.
These values change when a VLAN tag is added.

*   vlan: The VLAN header to match in the packet.

*   queue: The index of the RX queue to route matched packets to.

*   soft: The 16-bit value in the MBUF flow director ID field for RX packets matching the filter.

Link Bonding Functions
----------------------

The Link Bonding functions make it possible to dynamically create and
manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.

create bonded device
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Create a new bonding device:

create bonded device (mode) (socket)

For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0.

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> create bonded 1 0
    created new bonded device (port X)

add bonding slave
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device:

add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)

For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10).

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10


remove bonding slave
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device:

remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)

For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10).

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10

set bonding mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device:

set bonding mode (value) (port id)

For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3).

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10

set bonding primary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device:

set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)

For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10).

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10

set bonding mac
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device:

set bonding mac (port id) (mac)

For example, to set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to 00:00:00:00:00:01

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> set bonding mac 10 00:00:00:00:00:01

set bonding xmit_balance_policy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set the transmission policy for a Link Bonding device when it is in Balance XOR mode:

set bonding xmit_balance_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)

For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports )

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy 10 l34


set bonding mon_period
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding devicie.

This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed.

set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)

For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> set bonding mon_period 5 150

        Bonding mode: 2
        Balance Xmit Policy: BALANCE_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER23
        Slaves (3): [1 3 4]
        Active Slaves (3): [1 3 4]
        Primary: [3]

Register Functions
------------------

The Register functions can be used to read from and write to registers on the network card referenced by a port number.
This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
Reference should be made to the appropriate datasheet for the network card for details on the register addresses
and fields that can be accessed.

read reg
~~~~~~~~

Display the value of a port register:

read reg (port_id) (address)

For example, to examine the Flow Director control register (FDIRCTL, 0x0000EE000) on an Intel® 82599 10 GbE Controller:

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> read reg 0 0xEE00
    port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x4A060029 (1241907241)

read regfield
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Display a port register bit field:

read regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y)

For example, reading the lowest two bits from the register in the example above:

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> read regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1
    port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bits[0, 1]=0x1 (1)

read regbit
~~~~~~~~~~~

Display a single port register bit:

read regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x)

For example, reading the lowest bit from the register in the example above:

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> read regbit 0 0xEE00 0
    port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bit 0=1

write reg
~~~~~~~~~

Set the value of a port register:

write reg (port_id) (address) (value)

For example, to clear a register:

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> write reg 0 0xEE00 0x0
    port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000000 (0)

write regfield
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set bit field of a port register:

write regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y) (value)

For example, writing to the register cleared in the example above:

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> write regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1 2
    port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000002 (2)

write regbit
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set single bit value of a port register:

write regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (value)

For example, to set the high bit in the register from the example above:
