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

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

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd>

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

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

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> show port <TAB>

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

Help Functions
--------------

The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:

Port Functions
--------------

The following sections show functions for configuring ports.

.. note::

    Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.

port attach
~~~~~~~~~~~

Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args.

To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
On the other hand, to attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.

port attach (identifier)

For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:02:00.0.

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> port attach 0000:02:00.0
    Attaching a new port...
    ... snip ...
    Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
    Done

For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> port attach eth_pcap0,iface=eth0
    Attaching a new port...
    ... snip ...
    Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
    Done

In this case, identifier is "eth_pcap0,iface=eth0".
This identifier format is the same as "--vdev" format of DPDK applications.

port detach
~~~~~~~~~~~

Detach a specific port.

Before detaching a port, the port should be closed.
Also to remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
On the other hand, to remove a port created by a virtual device, above steps are not needed.

port detach (port_id)

For example, to detach a port 0.

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> port detach 0
    Detaching a port...
    ... snip ...
    Done

port config - RX Checksum
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set hardware RX checksum offload to on or off for all ports:

port config all rx-cksum (on|off)

Checksum offload is off by default.

The on option is equivalent to the --enable-rx-cksum command-line option.

port config - VLAN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

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

read reg
~~~~~~~~

Display the value of a port register:

read reg (port_id) (address)

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

.. code-block:: console

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

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

Display a port register bit field:

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

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

.. code-block:: console

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

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

Display a single port register bit:

read regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x)

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

.. code-block:: console

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

write reg
~~~~~~~~~

Set the value of a port register:

write reg (port_id) (address) (value)

For example, to clear a register:

.. code-block:: console

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

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

Set bit field of a port register:

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

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

.. code-block:: console

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

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

Set single bit value of a port register:

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

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

.. code-block:: console

    testpmd> write regbit 0 0xEE00 31 1
    port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x8000000A (2147483658)

        mask 000C priority 3 queue 3

flow_director_filter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

Two types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match and Signature filters, the match mode
is set by the --pkt-filter-mode command-line parameter:

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

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

The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
per flow type and the flexible payload. The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.

Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

# Commands to add flow director filters of different flow types.
