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|stat_qmap|dcb_tc X
28       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc all
29       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc X
30       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc 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.

61
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

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.

274
275show config
276~~~~~~~~~~~
277
278Displays the configuration of the application.
279The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
280
281   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|rxoffs|rxpkts|txpkts|txtimes)

294
295* ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
296
297* ``txtimes``: Burst time pattern for Tx only mode.
298
299For example:
300
301.. code-block:: console
302
303   testpmd> show config rxtx
304
305   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
306   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
307   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
308   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
309   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
310   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
311   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
312
313set fwd
314~~~~~~~
315
316Set the packet forwarding mode::
317
318   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
319                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap) (""|retry)
320
321``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
322
323The available information categories are:
324
325* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
326  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
327  This is the default mode.
328
329* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
330  Default application behavior is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
331  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
332  'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
333
334* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
335  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
336
337* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
338  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
339
340* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
341
342* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
343
344* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
345
346* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
347
348* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX.
349
350* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
351  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
352  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
353
354* ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
355
356  L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
357
358  L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
359
360  L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
361
362Example::
363
364   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
365
366   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
367
368
369show fwd
370~~~~~~~~
371
372When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.
373Example for the io forwarding engine, with some packet drops on the tx side::
374
375   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
673set log
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 txpkts
812~~~~~~~~~~
813
814Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
815
816   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
817
818Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
819
820set txtimes
821~~~~~~~~~~~
822
823Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
824the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
825timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
826application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
827to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
828and between the packets within the burst::
829
830   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
831
832where:
833
834* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
835  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
836  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
837  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
838  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
839  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
840  on timestamps is disabled (default).
841
842* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
843  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
844  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
845  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
846
847As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
848delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
849the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
850and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
851and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
852rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
853
854set txsplit
855~~~~~~~~~~~
856
857Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
858
859   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
860
861Where:
862
863* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
864
865* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
866  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
867  (see above).
868
869* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
870
871set corelist
872~~~~~~~~~~~~
873
874Set the list of forwarding cores::
875
876   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
877
878For example, to change the forwarding cores:
879
880.. code-block:: console
881
882   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
883   testpmd> show config fwd
884
885   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
886   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
887   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
888   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
889   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
890
891.. note::

895set portlist
896~~~~~~~~~~~~
897
898Set the list of forwarding ports::
899
900   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)

905
906   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
907   testpmd> show config fwd
908
909   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
910   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
911   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
912   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
913   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03

1174
1175* ``on``: is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
1176  it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
1177  at first will only keep in DPDK software stored in driver,
1178  only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.

1181  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
1182
1183Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
1184
1185   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
1186

1191
1192csum parse-tunnel
1193~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1194
1195Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1196engine::
1197
1198   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1199
1200If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1201tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1202
1203If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1204header is handled as a packet payload).
1205
1206.. note::
1207
1208   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1209
1210Example:
1211
1212Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1213
1214   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1215
1216* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1217  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1218  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1219
1220* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1221   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1262set port - gro
1263~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1264
1265Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1266
1267   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1268
1269If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1270packets received from the given port.
1271
1272If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1273GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1274
1275.. note::
1276
1277   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1278   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1279   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1280   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1281   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1282   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1283   transmitted to.
1284
1285show port - gro
1286~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1287
1288Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1289
1290   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1291
1292set gro flush
1293~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1294
1295Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1296
1297   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1298
1299When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1300packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1301can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1302from the reassembly tables.
1303
1304The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1305engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1306operations.
1307
1308By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1309from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1310of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1311
1312Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1313stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1314stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1315
1316set port - gso
1317~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1318
1319Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1320
1321   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1322
1323If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1324packets, transmitted on the given port.
1325
1326If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1327By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1328
1329.. note::
1330
1331   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1332   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1333   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1334   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1335   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1336   GSO-enabled ports.
1337
1338   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1339   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1340
1341   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1342
1343   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1344
1345   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1346
1347   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1348   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1349   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1350   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1351   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1352   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1353
1354set gso segsz

1356
1357Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the

2007Port Functions
2008--------------
2009
2010The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
2011
2012.. note::
2013
2014   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
2015
2016port attach
2017~~~~~~~~~~~
2018
2019Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2020
2021   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
2022
2023To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
2024Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
2025Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
2026
2027For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
2028
2029.. code-block:: console
2030
2031   # Check the status of the available devices.
2032   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2033
2034   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2035   ============================================
2036   <none>
2037
2038   Network devices using kernel driver
2039   ===================================
2040   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
2041
2042
2043   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
2044   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
2045
2046
2047   # Recheck the status of the devices.
2048   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2049   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2050   ============================================
2051   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
2052
2053To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2054
2055For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
2056
2057.. code-block:: console
2058
2059   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
2060   Attaching a new port...
2061   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2062   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2063   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2064   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2065   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
2066   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
2067   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2068   Done
2069
2070For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
2071
2072.. code-block:: console
2073
2074   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
2075   Attaching a new port...
2076   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
2077   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
2078   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2079   Done
2080
2081In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2082This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2083
2084For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
2085the mode and slave parameters must be given.
2086
2087.. code-block:: console
2088
2089   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
2090   Attaching a new port...
2091   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
2092   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
2093   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2094   Done
2095
2096
2097port detach
2098~~~~~~~~~~~
2099
2100Detach a specific port::
2101
2102   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
2103
2104Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
2105
2106For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
2107
2108.. code-block:: console
2109
2110   testpmd> port stop 0
2111   Stopping ports...
2112   Done
2113   testpmd> port close 0
2114   Closing ports...
2115   Done
2116
2117   testpmd> port detach 0
2118   Detaching a port...
2119   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2120   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd

2122   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2123   Done
2124
2125
2126For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2127
2128.. code-block:: console
2129
2130   testpmd> port stop 0
2131   Stopping ports...
2132   Done
2133   testpmd> port close 0
2134   Closing ports...
2135   Done
2136
2137   testpmd> port detach 0
2138   Detaching a port...
2139   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2140   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2141   Done
2142
2143To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2144Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2145Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2146
2147For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2148
2149.. code-block:: console
2150
2151   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2152
2153   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

2253port config - max-lro-pkt-size
2254~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2255
2256Set the maximum LRO aggregated packet size::
2257
2258   testpmd> port config all max-lro-pkt-size (value)
2259
2260This is equivalent to the ``--max-lro-pkt-size`` command-line option.
2261
2262port config - Drop Packets
2263~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2264
2265Enable or disable packet drop on all RX queues of all ports when no receive buffers available::
2266
2267   testpmd> port config all drop-en (on|off)
2268
2269Packet dropping when no receive buffers available is off by default.
2270
2271The ``on`` option is equivalent to the ``--enable-drop-en`` command-line option.
2272
2273port config - RSS
2274~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2275
2276Set the RSS (Receive Side Scaling) mode on or off::

2279
2280RSS is on by default.
2281
2282The ``all`` option is equivalent to eth|vlan|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|l2tpv3|esp|ah|pfcp.
2283
2284The ``default`` option enables all supported RSS types reported by device info.
2285

2301
2302The traffic class should be 4 or 8.
2303
2304port config - Burst
2305~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2306
2307Set the number of packets per burst::
2308
2309   testpmd> port config all burst (value)
2310
2311This is equivalent to the ``--burst`` command-line option.
2312
2313port config - Threshold
2314~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2315
2316Set thresholds for TX/RX queues::
2317

2392
2393port config dynf
2394~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2395
2396Set/clear dynamic flag per port.
2397testpmd will register this flag in the mbuf (same registration
2398for both Tx and Rx). Then set/clear this flag for each Tx

2423Device Functions
2424----------------
2425
2426The following sections show functions for device operations.
2427
2428device detach
2429~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2430
2431Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2432
2433   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2434
2435Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2436
2437For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2438
2439.. code-block:: console
2440
2441    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2442    Removing a device...
2443    Port 1 is now closed
2444    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2445    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2446    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2447    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2448    Now total ports is 1
2449
2450For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2451
2452.. code-block:: console
2453
2454    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2455    Removing a device...
2456    Port 0 is now closed
2457    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2458    Now total ports is 0
2459    Done
2460
2461In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2462This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2463
2464Link Bonding Functions

2487   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2488
2489For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2490
2491   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2492
2493
2494remove bonding slave
2495~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2496
2497Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2498
2499   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2500
2501For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::

2545For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2546
2547   testpmd> set bonding balance_xmit_policy 10 l34
2548
2549
2550set bonding mon_period
2551~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2554
2555This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2556When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2557link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2558
2559   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
2560
2561For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::

2587
2588   testpmd> show bonding config (port id)
2589
2590For example,
2591to show the configuration a Link Bonding device (port 9) with 3 slave devices (1, 3, 4)
2592in balance mode with a transmission policy of layer 2+3::
2593
2594   testpmd> show bonding config 9
2595        Bonding mode: 2
2596        Balance Xmit Policy: BALANCE_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER23

3204Filter Functions
3205----------------
3206
3207This section details the available filter functions that are available.
3208
3209Note these functions interface the deprecated legacy filtering framework,
3210superseded by *rte_flow*. See `Flow rules management`_.
3211
3212.. _testpmd_flow_director:
3213
3214flow_director_mask
3215~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3216
3217Set flow director's input masks::
3218
3219   flow_director_mask (port_id) mode IP vlan (vlan_value) \
3220                      src_mask (ipv4_src) (ipv6_src) (src_port) \
3221                      dst_mask (ipv4_dst) (ipv6_dst) (dst_port)
3222
3223   flow_director_mask (port_id) mode MAC-VLAN vlan (vlan_value)
3224

3251
3252Flow rules management
3253---------------------
3254
3255Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3256``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3257modes).
3258
3259Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3260features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3261not recommended.
3262
3263``flow`` syntax
3264~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3265
3266Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3267of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3268other commands, in particular:
3269
3270- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3271  token, not that of the entire command.
3272
3273- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3274  in the contextual help).
3275
3276The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3277their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3278following sections.
3279
3280- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3281

3290       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3291       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3292       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end

3297
3298- Destroy all flow rules::
3299

3322
3323- Tunnel offload - create a tunnel stub::
3324
3325   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3326
3327- Tunnel offload - destroy a tunnel stub::
3328
3329   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3330
3331- Tunnel offload - list port tunnel stubs::
3332
3333   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3334
3335Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3336~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3337
3338``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3339
3340   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3341
3342If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3343
3344   port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3345
3346Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3347
3348Destroying tunnel offload stub
3349~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3350
3351``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3352
3353   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3354
3355Listing tunnel offload stubs
3356~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3357
3358``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3359
3360   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3361
3362Validating flow rules
3363~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3364
3365``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3366underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3367bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3368
3369   flow validate {port_id}
3370      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3371      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3372      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3373
3374If successful, it will show::
3375
3376   Flow rule validated
3377
3378Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3379
3380   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3381
3382This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3383described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3384
3385Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3386index 6 is supported::
3387
3388   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3389      actions queue index 6 / end
3390   Flow rule validated
3391   testpmd>
3392
3393Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3394
3395   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3396      actions drop / end
3397   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3398   testpmd>
3399
3400Creating flow rules
3401~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3402
3403``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3404to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3405
3406   flow create {port_id}
3407      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3408      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3409      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3410      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3411
3412If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3413
3414   Flow rule #[...] created
3415
3416Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3417
3418   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3419
3420Parameters describe in the following order:
3421
3422- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3423- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3424- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3425  *end* pattern item.
3426- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3427  action.
3428
3429These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3430underlying functions.
3431
3432The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3433
3434   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3435
3436Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3437one.
3438
3439**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3440
3441Attributes
3442^^^^^^^^^^
3443
3444These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3445specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3446
3447- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3448- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3449- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3450- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3451- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3452
3453Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3454value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3455
3456   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3457
3458Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3459
3460While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3461simultaneously.
3462
3463Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3464
3465   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3466
3467Tunnel offload
3468^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3469
3470Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3471
3472- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3473- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunel offload match type.
3474
3475Matching pattern
3476^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3477
3478A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3479items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3480
3481Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3482rte_flow_item_type``).
3483
3484The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3485below::
3486
3487   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3488
3489Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3490layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3491unlikely to match any packet::
3492
3493   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3494
3495More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3496documentation.
3497
3498Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3499``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3500
3501   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3502      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3503
3504This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3505
3506In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3507``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3508in a similar fashion.
3509
3510The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3511and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3512accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3513
3514- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3515- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3516- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3517- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3518- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3519
3520These yield identical results::
3521
3522   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3523
3524::
3525
3526   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3527
3528::
3529
3530   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3531
3532::
3533
3534   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3535
3536::
3537
3538   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3539
3540Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3541
3542   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3543
3544Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3545
3546   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3547      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3548
3549Properties can be modified multiple times::
3550
3551   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3552
3553::
3554
3555   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3556

3767
3768Actions list
3769^^^^^^^^^^^^
3770
3771A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3772`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3773terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3774
3775Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3776rte_flow_action_type``).
3777
3778Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3779
3780   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3781      actions drop / end
3782
3783Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3784there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3785queue index.
3786
3787This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3788
3789   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3790      actions queue index 6 / end
3791
3792While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3793
3794   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3795      actions queue / end
3796
3797As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3798rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3799
3800   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3801
3802::
3803
3804   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3805
3806All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3807action of a given type is taken into account::
3808
3809   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3810
3811::
3812
3813   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3814
3815::
3816
3817   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3818
3819Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3820actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3821
3822   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3823

4039Destroying flow rules
4040~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4041
4042``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4043by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4044times as necessary::
4045
4046   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4047
4048If successful, it will show::
4049
4050   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4051
4052It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4053message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4054
4055   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4056
4057``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4058arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4059
4060   flow flush {port_id}
4061
4062Any errors are reported as above.
4063
4064Creating several rules and destroying them::
4065
4066   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4067      actions queue index 2 / end
4068   Flow rule #0 created
4069   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4070      actions queue index 3 / end
4071   Flow rule #1 created
4072   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4073   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4074   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4075   testpmd>
4076
4077The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4078
4079   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4080      actions queue index 2 / end
4081   Flow rule #0 created
4082   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4083      actions queue index 3 / end
4084   Flow rule #1 created
4085   testpmd> flow flush 0
4086   testpmd>
4087
4088Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4089
4090   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4091      actions queue index 2 / end
4092   Flow rule #0 created
4093   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4094      actions queue index 3 / end
4095   Flow rule #1 created
4096   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4097   testpmd>
4098   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4099   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4100   testpmd>
4101
4102Querying flow rules
4103~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4104
4105``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4106ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4107command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4108
4109   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4110
4111If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4112or the following message::
4113
4114   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4115
4116Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4117error occurred::
4118
4119   Flow rule #[...] not found
4120
4121::
4122
4123   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4124
4125Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4126number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4127output has the following format::
4128
4129   count:
4130    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4131    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4132    hits: [...] # number of packets
4133    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4134
4135Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4136
4137   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4138      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4139   Flow rule #4 created
4140   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4141   count:
4142    hits_set: 1
4143    bytes_set: 0
4144    hits: 386446
4145    bytes: 0
4146   testpmd>
4147
4148Listing flow rules
4149~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4150
4151``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4152filtered by group identifiers::
4153
4154   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4155
4156This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4157exist::
4158
4159   Invalid port [...]
4160
4161Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4162flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4163configured on the device::
4164
4165   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4166   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4167
4168``Attr`` column flags:
4169
4170- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4171- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4172
4173Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4174
4175   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4176      actions queue index 6 / end
4177   Flow rule #0 created
4178   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4179      actions queue index 2 / end
4180   Flow rule #1 created
4181   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4182      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4183   Flow rule #2 created
4184   testpmd> flow list 0
4185   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4186   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4187   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4188   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4189   testpmd>
4190
4191Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4192
4193   testpmd> flow list 1
4194   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4195   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4196   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4197   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4198   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4199   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4200   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4201   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4202   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4203   testpmd>
4204
4205Output can be limited to specific groups::
4206
4207   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4208   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4209   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4210   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4211   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4212   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4213   testpmd>
4214
4215Toggling isolated mode
4216~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4217
4218``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4219must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4220is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4221resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4222
4223 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4224
4225If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4226
4227 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4228    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4229
4230Or::
4231
4232 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4233    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4234
4235Otherwise, in case of error::
4236
4237   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4238
4239Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4240ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4241first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4242
4243Enabling isolated mode::
4244
4245 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4246 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4247 testpmd>
4248
4249Disabling isolated mode::
4250
4251 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4252 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4253 testpmd>
4254
4255Dumping HW internal information
4256~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4257
4258``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4259all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4260
4261   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4262
4263If successful, it will show::
4264
4265   Flow dump finished
4266
4267Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4268
4269   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4270
4271Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4272~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4273
4274``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4275and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4276
4277   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4278
4279Listing current aged flow rules::
4280
4281   testpmd> flow aged 0
4282   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4283   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4284      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4285   Flow rule #0 created
4286   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4287      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4288   Flow rule #1 created
4289   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4290      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4291   Flow rule #2 created
4292   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4293      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4294   Flow rule #3 created
4295
4296
4297Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4298information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4299those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4300will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4301
4302   testpmd> flow aged 0
4303   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4304   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4305   2       0       0       i--
4306   3       0       0       i--
4307   1       0       0       i--
4308   0       0       0       i--
4309
4310If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.
4311
4312   testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
4313   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4314   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4315   2       0       0       i--

4328Creating shared actions
4329~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4330``flow shared_action {port_id} create`` creates shared action with optional
4331shared action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_shared_action_create()``::
4332
4333   flow shared_action {port_id} create [action_id {shared_action_id}]
4334      [ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
4335
4336If successful, it will show::
4337
4338   Shared action #[...] created
4339
4340Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action already exists or that
4341some error occurred::
4342
4343   Shared action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4344
4345::
4346
4347   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4348
4349Create shared rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4350
4351   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 create action_id 100 \
4352      ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
4353
4354Create shared rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
4355port 0::
4356
4357	testpmd> flow shared_action 0 create action_id \
4358		ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4359
4360Updating shared actions
4361~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4362``flow shared_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the shared
4363action from its shared action ID (as returned by
4364``flow shared_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4365``rte_flow_shared_action_update()``::
4366
4367   flow shared_action {port_id} update {shared_action_id}
4368      action {action} / end
4369
4370If successful, it will show::
4371
4372   Shared action #[...] updated
4373
4374Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action not found or that some
4375error occurred::
4376
4377   Failed to find shared action #[...] on port [...]
4378
4379::
4380
4381   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4382
4383Update shared rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4384(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4385
4386   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4387
4388Destroying shared actions
4389~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4390``flow shared_action {port_id} update`` destroys one or more shared actions
4391from their shared action IDs (as returned by
4392``flow shared_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4393``rte_flow_shared_action_destroy()``::
4394
4395   flow shared_action {port_id} destroy action_id {shared_action_id} [...]
4396
4397If successful, it will show::
4398
4399   Shared action #[...] destroyed
4400
4401It does not report anything for shared action IDs that do not exist.
4402The usual error message is shown when a shared action cannot be destroyed::
4403
4404   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4405
4406Destroy shared actions having id 100 & 101::
4407
4408   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4409
4410Query shared actions
4411~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4412``flow shared_action {port_id} query`` queries the shared action from its
4413shared action ID (as returned by ``flow shared_action {port_id} create``).
4414It is bound to ``rte_flow_shared_action_query()``::
4415
4416  flow shared_action {port_id} query {shared_action_id}
4417
4418Currently only rss shared action supported. If successful, it will show::
4419
4420   Shared RSS action:
4421      refs:[...]
4422
4423Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action not found or that some
4424error occurred::
4425
4426   Failed to find shared action #[...] on port [...]
4427
4428::
4429
4430   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4431
4432Query shared action having id 100::
4433
4434   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 query 100
4435
4436Sample QinQ flow rules
4437~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4438
4439Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4440
4441   testpmd> port stop 0
4442   testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4443
4444The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4445
4446To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4447
4448   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4449   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4450   testpmd> port start 0
4451
4452Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4453
4454::
4455
4456   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4457       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end
4458   Flow rule #0 validated

4467
4468Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a queue on the host.
4469
4470::
4471
4472   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 321 /
4473        vlan tci is 654 / end actions pf / queue index 0 / end

4484
4485Sample VXLAN flow rules
4486~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4487
4488Before creating VXLAN rule(s), the UDP port should be added for VXLAN packet
4489filter on a port::
4490
4491  testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0
4492
4493Create VXLAN rules on port 0 to steer traffic to PF queues.

4844BPF Functions
4845--------------
4846
4847The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
4848
4849bpf-load
4850~~~~~~~~
4851
4852Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
4853
4854   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
4855
4856The available load-flags are:
4857
4858* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
4859
4860* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
4861
4862* ``-``: none.
4863
4864.. note::
4865
4866   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
4867
4868For example:
4869
4870.. code-block:: console
4871
4872   cd examples/bpf
4873   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
4874
4875Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
4876
4877.. code-block:: console
4878
4879   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
4880
4881To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
4882
4883.. code-block:: console
4884
4885   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
4886
4887bpf-unload
4888~~~~~~~~~~
4889
4890Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
4891
4892   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
4893
4894For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
4895
4896.. code-block:: console
4897
4898   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
4899
