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

62Command File Functions
63----------------------
64
65To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
66practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
67
68* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
69  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
70  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
71
72.. code-block:: console
73
74   ./dpdk-testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

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

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

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

642Configuration Functions
643-----------------------
644
645The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
646
647This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
648
649.. note::
650
651   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
652
653set default
654~~~~~~~~~~~
655
656Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
657
658   testpmd> set default
659
660set verbose
661~~~~~~~~~~~
662
663Set the debug verbosity level::
664
665   testpmd> set verbose (level)
666
667Available levels are as following:
668
669* ``0`` silent except for error.
670* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
671* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
672* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
673
674set log
675~~~~~~~
676
677Set the log level for a log type::
678
679	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
680
681Where:
682
683* ``type`` is the log name.
684
685* ``level`` is the log level.
686
687For example, to change the global log level::
688
689	testpmd> set log global (level)
690
691Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
692
693	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
694
695set nbport
696~~~~~~~~~~
697
698Set the number of ports used by the application:
699
700set nbport (num)
701
702This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
703
704set nbcore
705~~~~~~~~~~
706
707Set the number of cores used by the application::
708
709   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
710
711This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
712
713.. note::
714
715   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
716
717set coremask
718~~~~~~~~~~~~
719
720Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
721
722   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
723
724This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
725
726.. note::
727
728   The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
729
730set portmask
731~~~~~~~~~~~~
732
733Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
734
735   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
736
737This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
738
739set record-core-cycles
740~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741
742Set the recording of CPU cycles::
743
744   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
745
746Where:
747
748* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
749
750* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
751
752This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
753
754set record-burst-stats
755~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
756
757Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
758
759   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
760
761Where:
762
763* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
764
765* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
766
767This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
768
769set burst
770~~~~~~~~~
771
772Set number of packets per burst::
773
774   testpmd> set burst (num)
775
776This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
777
778When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
779
780   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
781
782set rxoffs
783~~~~~~~~~~
784
785Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
786if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
787offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
788
789   testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
790
791Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
792of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
793for the remaining segments.
794
795set rxpkts
796~~~~~~~~~~
797
798Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
799feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
800(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
801pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
802to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
803mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
804from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
805mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
806
807   testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
808
809Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
810means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
811
812set txpkts
813~~~~~~~~~~
814
815Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
816
817   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
818
819Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
820
821set txtimes
822~~~~~~~~~~~
823
824Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
825the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
826timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
827application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
828to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
829and between the packets within the burst::
830
831   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
832
833where:
834
835* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
836  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
837  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
838  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
839  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
840  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
841  on timestamps is disabled (default).
842
843* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
844  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
845  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
846  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
847
848As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
849delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
850the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
851and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
852and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
853rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
854
855set txsplit
856~~~~~~~~~~~
857
858Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
859
860   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
861
862Where:
863
864* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
865
866* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
867  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
868  (see above).
869
870* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
871
872set corelist
873~~~~~~~~~~~~
874
875Set the list of forwarding cores::
876
877   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
878
879For example, to change the forwarding cores:
880
881.. code-block:: console
882
883   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
884   testpmd> show config fwd
885
886   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
887   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
888   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
889   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
890   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
891
892.. note::

906
907   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
908   testpmd> show config fwd
909
910   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
911   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
912   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
913   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
914   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03

1182  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
1183
1184Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
1185
1186   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
1187

1192
1193csum parse-tunnel
1194~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1195
1196Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1197engine::
1198
1199   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1200
1201If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1202tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1203
1204If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1205header is handled as a packet payload).
1206
1207.. note::
1208
1209   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1210
1211Example:
1212
1213Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1214
1215   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1216
1217* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1218  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1219  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1220
1221* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1222   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1264~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1265
1266Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1267
1268   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1269
1270If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1271packets received from the given port.
1272
1273If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1274GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1275
1276.. note::
1277
1278   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1279   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1280   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1281   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1282   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1283   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1284   transmitted to.
1285
1286show port - gro
1287~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1288
1289Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1290
1291   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1292
1293set gro flush
1294~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1295
1296Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1297
1298   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1299
1300When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1301packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1302can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1303from the reassembly tables.
1304
1305The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1306engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1307operations.
1308
1309By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1310from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1311of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1312
1313Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1314stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1315stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1316
1317set port - gso
1318~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1319
1320Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1321
1322   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1323
1324If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1325packets, transmitted on the given port.
1326
1327If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1328By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1329
1330.. note::
1331
1332   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1333   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1334   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1335   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1336   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1337   GSO-enabled ports.
1338
1339   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1340   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1341
1342   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1343
1344   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1345
1346   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1347
1348   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1349   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1350   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1351   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1352   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1353   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1354
1355set gso segsz

1357
1358Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the

1937~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1938
1939Configure the raw data to be used when encapsulating a packet by
1940rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1941
1942 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1943
1944There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1945internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1946If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1947
1948 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1949
1950the default index ``0`` is used.

2008Port Functions
2009--------------
2010
2011The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
2012
2013.. note::
2014
2015   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
2016
2017port attach
2018~~~~~~~~~~~
2019
2020Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2021
2022   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
2023
2024To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
2025Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
2026Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
2027
2028For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
2029
2030.. code-block:: console
2031
2032   # Check the status of the available devices.
2033   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2034
2035   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2036   ============================================
2037   <none>
2038
2039   Network devices using kernel driver
2040   ===================================
2041   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
2042
2043
2044   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
2045   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
2046
2047
2048   # Recheck the status of the devices.
2049   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2050   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2051   ============================================
2052   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
2053
2054To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2055
2056For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
2057
2058.. code-block:: console
2059
2060   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
2061   Attaching a new port...
2062   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2063   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2064   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2065   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2066   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
2067   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
2068   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2069   Done
2070
2071For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
2072
2073.. code-block:: console
2074
2075   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
2076   Attaching a new port...
2077   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
2078   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
2079   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2080   Done
2081
2082In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2083This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2084
2085For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
2086the mode and slave parameters must be given.
2087
2088.. code-block:: console
2089
2090   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
2091   Attaching a new port...
2092   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
2093   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
2094   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2095   Done
2096
2097
2098port detach
2099~~~~~~~~~~~
2100
2101Detach a specific port::
2102
2103   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
2104
2105Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
2106
2107For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
2108
2109.. code-block:: console
2110
2111   testpmd> port stop 0
2112   Stopping ports...
2113   Done
2114   testpmd> port close 0
2115   Closing ports...
2116   Done
2117
2118   testpmd> port detach 0
2119   Detaching a port...
2120   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2121   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2122   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2123   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2124   Done
2125
2126
2127For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2128
2129.. code-block:: console
2130
2131   testpmd> port stop 0
2132   Stopping ports...
2133   Done
2134   testpmd> port close 0
2135   Closing ports...
2136   Done
2137
2138   testpmd> port detach 0
2139   Detaching a port...
2140   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2141   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2142   Done
2143
2144To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2145Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2146Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2147
2148For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2149
2150.. code-block:: console
2151
2152   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2153
2154   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2155

2260
2261This is equivalent to the ``--max-lro-pkt-size`` command-line option.
2262
2263port config - Drop Packets
2264~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2265
2266Enable or disable packet drop on all RX queues of all ports when no receive buffers available::
2267
2268   testpmd> port config all drop-en (on|off)
2269
2270Packet dropping when no receive buffers available is off by default.
2271
2272The ``on`` option is equivalent to the ``--enable-drop-en`` command-line option.
2273
2274port config - RSS
2275~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2276
2277Set the RSS (Receive Side Scaling) mode on or off::

2279   testpmd> port config all rss (all|default|eth|vlan|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|port|vxlan|geneve|nvgre|vxlan-gpe|l2tpv3|esp|ah|pfcp|ecpri|mpls|none)
2280
2281RSS is on by default.
2282
2283The ``all`` option is equivalent to eth|vlan|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|l2tpv3|esp|ah|pfcp.
2284
2285The ``default`` option enables all supported RSS types reported by device info.
2286
2287The ``none`` option is equivalent to the ``--disable-rss`` command-line option.

2302
2303The traffic class should be 4 or 8.
2304
2305port config - Burst
2306~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2307
2308Set the number of packets per burst::
2309
2310   testpmd> port config all burst (value)
2311
2312This is equivalent to the ``--burst`` command-line option.
2313
2314port config - Threshold
2315~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2316
2317Set thresholds for TX/RX queues::
2318
2319   testpmd> port config all (threshold) (value)
2320
2321Where the threshold type can be:
2322
2323* ``txpt:`` Set the prefetch threshold register of the TX rings, 0 <= value <= 255.
2324
2325* ``txht:`` Set the host threshold register of the TX rings, 0 <= value <= 255.

2393
2394port config dynf
2395~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2396
2397Set/clear dynamic flag per port.
2398testpmd will register this flag in the mbuf (same registration
2399for both Tx and Rx). Then set/clear this flag for each Tx
2400packet sent from this port. The set bit only works for Tx packet::
2401
2402   testpmd> port config (port_id) dynf (name) (set|clear)
2403
2404port config mtu
2405~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2427To cleanup txq mbufs currently cached by driver::
2428
2429   testpmd> port cleanup (port_id) txq (queue_id) (free_cnt)
2430
2431If the value of ``free_cnt`` is 0, driver should free all cached mbufs.
2432
2433Device Functions
2434----------------
2435
2436The following sections show functions for device operations.
2437
2438device detach
2439~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2440
2441Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2442
2443   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2444
2445Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2446
2447For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2448
2449.. code-block:: console
2450
2451    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2452    Removing a device...
2453    Port 1 is now closed
2454    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2455    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2456    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2457    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2458    Now total ports is 1
2459
2460For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2461
2462.. code-block:: console
2463
2464    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2465    Removing a device...
2466    Port 0 is now closed
2467    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2468    Now total ports is 0
2469    Done
2470
2471In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2472This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2473
2474Link Bonding Functions
2475----------------------

2497   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2498
2499For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2500
2501   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2502
2503
2504remove bonding slave
2505~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2506
2507Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2508
2509   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2510
2511For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2512

2554
2555For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2556
2557   testpmd> set bonding balance_xmit_policy 10 l34
2558
2559
2560set bonding mon_period
2561~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2564
2565This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2566When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2567link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2568
2569   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
2570

3227Filter Functions
3228----------------
3229
3230This section details the available filter functions that are available.
3231
3232Note these functions interface the deprecated legacy filtering framework,
3233superseded by *rte_flow*. See `Flow rules management`_.
3234
3235.. _testpmd_flow_director:
3236
3237flow_director_mask
3238~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3239
3240Set flow director's input masks::
3241
3242   flow_director_mask (port_id) mode IP vlan (vlan_value) \
3243                      src_mask (ipv4_src) (ipv6_src) (src_port) \
3244                      dst_mask (ipv4_dst) (ipv6_dst) (dst_port)
3245
3246   flow_director_mask (port_id) mode MAC-VLAN vlan (vlan_value)
3247
3248   flow_director_mask (port_id) mode Tunnel vlan (vlan_value) \

3258                FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF 0xFFFF
3259
3260flow_director_flex_payload
3261~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3262
3263Configure flexible payload selection::
3264
3265   flow_director_flex_payload (port_id) (raw|l2|l3|l4) (config)

3274
3275Flow rules management
3276---------------------
3277
3278Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3279``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3280modes).
3281
3282Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3283features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3284not recommended.
3285
3286``flow`` syntax
3287~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3288
3289Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3290of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3291other commands, in particular:
3292
3293- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3294  token, not that of the entire command.
3295
3296- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3297  in the contextual help).
3298
3299The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3300their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3301following sections.
3302
3303- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3304
3305   flow validate {port_id}
3306       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3307       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3308       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3309
3310- Create a flow rule::
3311
3312   flow create {port_id}
3313       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3314       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3315       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3316
3317- Destroy specific flow rules::
3318
3319   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3320
3321- Destroy all flow rules::
3322
3323   flow flush {port_id}
3324
3325- Query an existing flow rule::
3326
3327   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3328
3329- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3330  identifiers::
3331
3332   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3333
3334- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3335
3336   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3337
3338- Dump internal representation information of all flows in hardware::
3339
3340   flow dump {port_id} all {output_file}
3341
3342  for one flow::
3343
3344   flow dump {port_id} rule {rule_id} {output_file}
3345
3346- List and destroy aged flow rules::
3347
3348   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
3349
3350- Tunnel offload - create a tunnel stub::
3351
3352   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3353
3354- Tunnel offload - destroy a tunnel stub::
3355
3356   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3357
3358- Tunnel offload - list port tunnel stubs::
3359
3360   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3361
3362Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3363~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3364
3365``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3366
3367   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3368
3369If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3370
3371   port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3372
3373Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3374
3375Destroying tunnel offload stub
3376~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3377
3378``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3379
3380   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3381
3382Listing tunnel offload stubs
3383~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3384
3385``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3386
3387   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3388
3389Validating flow rules
3390~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3391
3392``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3393underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3394bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3395
3396   flow validate {port_id}
3397      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3398      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3399      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3400
3401If successful, it will show::
3402
3403   Flow rule validated
3404
3405Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3406
3407   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3408
3409This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3410described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3411
3412Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3413index 6 is supported::
3414
3415   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3416      actions queue index 6 / end
3417   Flow rule validated
3418   testpmd>
3419
3420Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3421
3422   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3423      actions drop / end
3424   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3425   testpmd>
3426
3427Creating flow rules
3428~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3429
3430``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3431to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3432
3433   flow create {port_id}
3434      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3435      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3436      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3437      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3438
3439If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3440
3441   Flow rule #[...] created
3442
3443Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3444
3445   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3446
3447Parameters describe in the following order:
3448
3449- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3450- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3451- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3452  *end* pattern item.
3453- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3454  action.
3455
3456These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3457underlying functions.
3458
3459The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3460
3461   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3462
3463Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3464one.
3465
3466**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3467
3468Attributes
3469^^^^^^^^^^
3470
3471These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3472specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3473
3474- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3475- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3476- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3477- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3478- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3479
3480Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3481value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3482
3483   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3484
3485Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3486
3487While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3488simultaneously.
3489
3490Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3491
3492   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3493
3494Tunnel offload
3495^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3496
3497Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3498
3499- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3500- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunel offload match type.
3501
3502Matching pattern
3503^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3504
3505A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3506items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3507
3508Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3509rte_flow_item_type``).
3510
3511The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3512below::
3513
3514   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3515
3516Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3517layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3518unlikely to match any packet::
3519
3520   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3521
3522More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3523documentation.
3524
3525Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3526``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3527
3528   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3529      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3530
3531This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3532
3533In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3534``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3535in a similar fashion.
3536
3537The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3538and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3539accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3540
3541- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3542- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3543- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3544- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3545- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3546
3547These yield identical results::
3548
3549   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3550
3551::
3552
3553   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3554
3555::
3556
3557   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3558
3559::
3560
3561   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3562
3563::
3564
3565   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3566
3567Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3568
3569   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3570
3571Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3572
3573   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3574      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3575
3576Properties can be modified multiple times::
3577
3578   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3579
3580::
3581
3582   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

3833A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3834`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3835terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3836
3837Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3838rte_flow_action_type``).
3839
3840Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3841
3842   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3843      actions drop / end
3844
3845Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3846there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3847queue index.
3848
3849This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3850
3851   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3852      actions queue index 6 / end
3853
3854While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3855
3856   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3857      actions queue / end
3858
3859As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3860rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3861
3862   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3863
3864::
3865
3866   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3867
3868All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3869action of a given type is taken into account::
3870
3871   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3872
3873::
3874
3875   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3876
3877::
3878
3879   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3880
3881Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3882actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3883
3884   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3885
3886::
3887
3888   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3889
3890::
3891
3892   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3893
3894Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4115Destroying flow rules
4116~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4117
4118``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4119by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4120times as necessary::
4121
4122   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4123
4124If successful, it will show::
4125
4126   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4127
4128It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4129message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4130
4131   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4132
4133``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4134arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4135
4136   flow flush {port_id}
4137
4138Any errors are reported as above.
4139
4140Creating several rules and destroying them::
4141
4142   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4143      actions queue index 2 / end
4144   Flow rule #0 created
4145   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4146      actions queue index 3 / end
4147   Flow rule #1 created
4148   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4149   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4150   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4151   testpmd>
4152
4153The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4154
4155   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4156      actions queue index 2 / end
4157   Flow rule #0 created
4158   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4159      actions queue index 3 / end
4160   Flow rule #1 created
4161   testpmd> flow flush 0
4162   testpmd>
4163
4164Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4165
4166   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4167      actions queue index 2 / end
4168   Flow rule #0 created
4169   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4170      actions queue index 3 / end
4171   Flow rule #1 created
4172   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4173   testpmd>
4174   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4175   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4176   testpmd>
4177
4178Querying flow rules
4179~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4180
4181``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4182ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4183command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4184
4185   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4186
4187If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4188or the following message::
4189
4190   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4191
4192Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4193error occurred::
4194
4195   Flow rule #[...] not found
4196
4197::
4198
4199   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4200
4201Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4202number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4203output has the following format::
4204
4205   count:
4206    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4207    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4208    hits: [...] # number of packets
4209    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4210
4211Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4212
4213   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4214      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4215   Flow rule #4 created
4216   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4217   count:
4218    hits_set: 1
4219    bytes_set: 0
4220    hits: 386446
4221    bytes: 0
4222   testpmd>
4223
4224Listing flow rules
4225~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4226
4227``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4228filtered by group identifiers::
4229
4230   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4231
4232This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4233exist::
4234
4235   Invalid port [...]
4236
4237Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4238flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4239configured on the device::
4240
4241   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4242   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4243
4244``Attr`` column flags:
4245
4246- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4247- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4248
4249Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4250
4251   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4252      actions queue index 6 / end
4253   Flow rule #0 created
4254   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4255      actions queue index 2 / end
4256   Flow rule #1 created
4257   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4258      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4259   Flow rule #2 created
4260   testpmd> flow list 0
4261   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4262   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4263   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4264   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4265   testpmd>
4266
4267Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4268
4269   testpmd> flow list 1
4270   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4271   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4272   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4273   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4274   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4275   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4276   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4277   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4278   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4279   testpmd>
4280
4281Output can be limited to specific groups::
4282
4283   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4284   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4285   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4286   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4287   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4288   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4289   testpmd>
4290
4291Toggling isolated mode
4292~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4293
4294``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4295must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4296is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4297resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4298
4299 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4300
4301If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4302
4303 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4304    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4305
4306Or::
4307
4308 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4309    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4310
4311Otherwise, in case of error::
4312
4313   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4314
4315Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4316ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4317first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4318
4319Enabling isolated mode::
4320
4321 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4322 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4323 testpmd>
4324
4325Disabling isolated mode::
4326
4327 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4328 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4329 testpmd>
4330
4331Dumping HW internal information
4332~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4333
4334``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4335all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4336
4337   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4338
4339If successful, it will show::
4340
4341   Flow dump finished
4342

4347Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4348~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4349
4350``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4351and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4352
4353   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4354
4355Listing current aged flow rules::
4356
4357   testpmd> flow aged 0
4358   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4359   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4360      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4361   Flow rule #0 created
4362   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4363      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4364   Flow rule #1 created
4365   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4366      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4367   Flow rule #2 created
4368   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4369      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4370   Flow rule #3 created
4371
4372
4373Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4374information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4375those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4376will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4377
4378   testpmd> flow aged 0
4379   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4380   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4381   2       0       0       i--
4382   3       0       0       i--
4383   1       0       0       i--
4384   0       0       0       i--
4385
4386If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.
4387
4388   testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
4389   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4390   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4391   2       0       0       i--
4392   3       0       0       i--

4394   0       0       0       i--
4395
4396   Flow rule #2 destroyed
4397   Flow rule #3 destroyed
4398   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4399   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4400   4 flows be destroyed
4401   testpmd> flow aged 0

4403
4404Creating indirect actions
4405~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4406
4407``flow indirect_action {port_id} create`` creates indirect action with optional
4408indirect action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_create()``::
4409
4410   flow indirect_action {port_id} create [action_id {indirect_action_id}]
4411      [ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
4412
4413If successful, it will show::
4414
4415   Indirect action #[...] created
4416
4417Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action already exists or that
4418some error occurred::
4419
4420   Indirect action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4421
4422::
4423
4424   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4425
4426Create indirect rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4427
4428   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id 100 \
4429      ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
4430
4431Create indirect rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
4432port 0::
4433
4434	testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id \
4435		ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4436
4437Updating indirect actions
4438~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4439
4440``flow indirect_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the indirect
4441action from its indirect action ID (as returned by
4442``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4443``rte_flow_action_handle_update()``::
4444
4445   flow indirect_action {port_id} update {indirect_action_id}
4446      action {action} / end
4447
4448If successful, it will show::
4449
4450   Indirect action #[...] updated
4451
4452Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4453error occurred::
4454
4455   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4456
4457::
4458
4459   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4460
4461Update indirect rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4462(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4463
4464   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4465
4466Destroying indirect actions
4467~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4468
4469``flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy`` destroys one or more indirect actions
4470from their indirect action IDs (as returned by
4471``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4472``rte_flow_action_handle_destroy()``::
4473
4474   flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy action_id {indirect_action_id} [...]
4475
4476If successful, it will show::
4477
4478   Indirect action #[...] destroyed
4479
4480It does not report anything for indirect action IDs that do not exist.
4481The usual error message is shown when a indirect action cannot be destroyed::
4482
4483   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4484
4485Destroy indirect actions having id 100 & 101::
4486
4487   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4488
4489Query indirect actions
4490~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4491
4492``flow indirect_action {port_id} query`` queries the indirect action from its
4493indirect action ID (as returned by ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``).
4494It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_query()``::
4495
4496  flow indirect_action {port_id} query {indirect_action_id}
4497
4498Currently only rss indirect action supported. If successful, it will show::
4499
4500   Indirect RSS action:
4501      refs:[...]
4502
4503Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4504error occurred::
4505
4506   Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4507
4508::
4509
4510   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4511
4512Query indirect action having id 100::
4513
4514   testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 query 100
4515
4516Sample QinQ flow rules
4517~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4518
4519Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4520
4521   testpmd> port stop 0
4522   testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4523
4524The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4525
4526To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4527
4528   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4529   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4530   testpmd> port start 0
4531
4532Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4533
4534::
4535
4536   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4537       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4538   Flow rule #0 validated

4546   0       0       0       i-      ETH VLAN VLAN=>VF QUEUE
4547
4548Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
4549
4550::
4551
4552   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4553        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end

4564
4565Sample VXLAN flow rules
4566~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4567
4568Before creating VXLAN rule(s), the UDP port should be added for VXLAN packet
4569filter on a port::
4570
4571  testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0
4572
4573Create VXLAN rules on port 0 to steer traffic to PF queues.

5070BPF Functions
5071--------------
5072
5073The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5074
5075bpf-load
5076~~~~~~~~
5077
5078Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5079
5080   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5081
5082The available load-flags are:
5083
5084* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5085
5086* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5087
5088* ``-``: none.
5089
5090.. note::
5091
5092   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5093
5094For example:
5095
5096.. code-block:: console
5097
5098   cd examples/bpf
5099   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5100
5101Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5102
5103.. code-block:: console
5104
5105   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5106
5107To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5108
5109.. code-block:: console
5110
5111   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5112
5113bpf-unload
5114~~~~~~~~~~
5115
5116Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5117
5118   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5119
5120For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5121
5122.. code-block:: console
5123
5124   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5125
5126Flex Item Functions
5127-------------------
5128
5129The following sections show functions that configure and create flex item object,
5130create flex pattern and use it in a flow rule.
5131The commands will use 20 bytes IPv4 header for examples:
5132
5133::
5134
5135   0                   1                   2                   3

5150Create flex item
5151~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5152
5153Flex item object is created by PMD according to a new header configuration. The
5154header configuration is compiled by the testpmd and stored in
5155``rte_flow_item_flex_conf`` type variable.
5156
5157::
5158
5159   # flow flex_item create <port> <flex id> <configuration file>
5160   testpmd> flow flex_item init 0 3 ipv4_flex_config.json
5161   port-0: created flex item #3
5162
5163Flex item configuration is kept in external JSON file.
5164It describes the following header elements:
5165
5166**New header length.**
5167
5168Specify whether the new header has fixed or variable length and the basic/minimal
5169header length value.
5170
5171If header length is not fixed, header location with a value that completes header
5172length calculation and scale/offset function must be added.
5173
5174Scale function depends on port hardware.
5175
5176**Next protocol.**
5177
5178Describes location in the new header that specify following network header type.
5179
5180**Flow match samples.**
5181
5182Describes locations in the new header that will be used in flow rules.
5183
5184Number of flow samples and sample maximal length depend of port hardware.
5185
5186**Input trigger.**
5187
5188Describes preceding network header configuration.
5189

5217Flex pattern and flow rules
5218~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5219
5220Flex pattern describe parts of network header that will trigger flex flow item hit in a flow rule.
5221Flex pattern directly related to flex item samples configuration.
5222Flex pattern can be shared between ports.
