31 Testpmd Runtime Functions
32 =========================
34 Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (-i|--interactive),
35 it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
36 configure the application, display statistics, set the Flow Director and other tasks.
38 .. code-block:: console
42 The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
43 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
44 as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
46 There is also support for tab completion.
47 If you type a partial command and hit <TAB> you get a list of the available completions:
49 .. code-block:: console
51 testpmd> show port <TAB>
53 info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap X
54 info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap all
55 stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap X
56 stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|fdir|stat_qmap all
62 The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
63 These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
65 .. code-block:: console
69 Help is available for the following sections:
70 help control : Start and stop forwarding.
71 help display : Displaying port, stats and config information.

255 Configuration Functions
256 -----------------------
258 The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
260 This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
264 Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
269 Reset forwarding to the default configuration:
276 Set the debug verbosity level:
280 Currently the only available levels are 0 (silent except for error) and 1 (fully verbose).
285 Set the number of ports used by the application:
289 This is equivalent to the --nb-ports command-line option.
294 Set the number of cores used by the application:
298 This is equivalent to the --nb-cores command-line option.
302 The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
307 Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask:
311 This is equivalent to the --coremask command-line option.
315 The master lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
320 Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask:
324 This is equivalent to the --portmask command-line option.
329 Set number of packets per burst:
333 This is equivalent to the --burst command-line option.
335 In mac_retry forwarding mode, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set.
337 set burst tx delay (micrseconds) retry (num)
342 Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets:
346 Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
351 Set the list of forwarding cores:
353 set corelist (x[,y]*)
355 For example, to change the forwarding cores:
357 .. code-block:: console
359 testpmd> set corelist 3,1
360 testpmd> show config fwd
362 io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
363 Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
364 RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
365 Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
366 RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
370 The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
375 Set the list of forwarding ports:
377 set portlist (x[,y]*)
379 For example, to change the port forwarding:
381 .. code-block:: console
383 testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
384 testpmd> show config fwd
386 io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
387 Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
388 RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
389 RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
390 RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03
391 RX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:02
396 Set the VLAN strip on a port:
398 vlan set strip (on|off) (port_id)
403 Set the VLAN strip for a queue on a port:
405 vlan set stripq (on|off) (port_id,queue_id)
410 Set the VLAN filter on a port:
412 vlan set filter (on|off) (port_id)
417 Set the VLAN QinQ (extended queue in queue) on for a port:
419 vlan set qinq (on|off) (port_id)
424 Set the outer VLAN TPID for packet filtering on a port:
426 vlan set tpid (value) (port_id)
430 TPID value must be a 16-bit number (value <= 65536).
435 Add a VLAN ID, or all identifiers, to the set of VLAN identifiers filtered by port ID:
437 rx_vlan add (vlan_id|all) (port_id)
441 VLAN filter must be set on that port. VLAN ID < 4096.
442 Depending on the NIC used, number of vlan_ids may be limited to the maximum entries
443 in VFTA table. This is important if enabling all vlan_ids.
448 Remove a VLAN ID, or all identifiers, from the set of VLAN identifiers filtered by port ID:
450 rx_vlan rm (vlan_id|all) (port_id)
455 Add a VLAN ID, to the set of VLAN identifiers filtered for VF(s) for port ID:
457 rx_vlan add (vlan_id) port (port_id) vf (vf_mask)
462 Remove a VLAN ID, from the set of VLAN identifiers filtered for VF(s) for port ID:
464 rx_vlan rm (vlan_id) port (port_id) vf (vf_mask)
469 Set the outer VLAN TPID for packet filtering on a port:
471 rx_vlan set tpid (value) (port_id)
476 Add a tunnel filter on a port:
478 tunnel_filter add (port_id) (outer_mac) (inner_mac) (ip_addr) (inner_vlan)
479 (tunnel_type) (filter_type) (tenant_id) (queue_id)
484 Remove a tunnel filter on a port:
486 tunnel_filter rm (port_id) (outer_mac) (inner_mac) (ip_addr) (inner_vlan)
487 (tunnel_type) (filter_type) (tenant_id) (queue_id)
492 Add an UDP port for VXLAN packet filter on a port:
494 rx_vxlan_port add (udp_port) (port_id)
499 Remove an UDP port for VXLAN packet filter on a port:
501 rx_vxlan_port rm (udp_port) (port_id)
506 Set hardware insertion of VLAN IDs in packets sent on a port:
508 tx_vlan set (port_id) vlan_id[, vlan_id_outer]
510 .. code-block:: console
512 Set a single VLAN ID (5) insertion on port 0.
516 Set double VLAN ID (inner: 2, outer: 3) insertion on port 1.
523 Set port based hardware insertion of VLAN ID in packets sent on a port:
525 tx_vlan set pvid (port_id) (vlan_id) (on|off)
530 Disable hardware insertion of a VLAN header in packets sent on a port:
532 tx_vlan reset (port_id)
537 Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
538 transmitting a packet using the csum forward engine:
540 csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip) (hw|sw) (port_id)
542 - ip|udp|tcp|sctp always concern the inner layer.
544 - outer-ip concerns the outer IP layer in case the packet is recognized
545 as a tunnel packet by the forward engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
546 supported). See "csum parse-tunnel" command.
550 Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
555 Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
558 csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
560 If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
561 tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
563 If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
564 header is handled as a packet payload).
568 The port argument is the TX port like in the "csum set" command.
572 Consider a packet as following:
573 "eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in"
575 - If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ip|udp|tcp|sctp parameters of "csum
576 set" command are about inner headers (here ipv4_in and tcp_in), and the
577 outer-ip parameter is about outer headers (here ipv4_out).
579 - If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ip|udp|tcp|sctp parameters of "csum
580 set" command are about outer headers, here ipv4_out and udp_out.
585 Display tx checksum offload configuration:
592 Enable TCP Segmentation Offload in csum forward engine:
594 tso set (segsize) (port_id)
598 Check the NIC datasheet for hardware limits
603 Display the status of TCP Segmentation Offload:
610 Set the packet forwarding mode:
612 set fwd (io|mac|mac_retry|macswap|flowgen|rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho)
614 The available information categories are:
616 * io: forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
617 This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
618 This is the default mode.
620 * mac: changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
622 * mac_retry: same as "mac" forwarding mode, but includes retries if the destination queue is full.
624 * macswap: MAC swap forwarding mode.
625 Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
627 * flowgen: multi-flow generation mode.
628 Originates a bunch of flows (varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
630 * rxonly: receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
632 * txonly: generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
634 * csum: changes the checksum field with HW or SW methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
636 * icmpecho: receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
638 * ieee1588: demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
639 Note: TX timestamping is only available in the "Full Featured" TX path. To force ``testpmd`` into this mode set ``--txqflags=0``.
643 .. code-block:: console
645 testpmd> set fwd rxonly
647 Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
652 Add an alternative MAC address to a port:
654 mac_addr add (port_id) (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)
659 Remove a MAC address from a port:
661 mac_addr remove (port_id) (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)
666 Add an alternative MAC address for a VF to a port:
668 mac_add add port (port_id) vf (vf_id) (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)
673 Set the unicast hash filter(s) on/off for a port X:
675 set port (port_id) uta (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX|all) (on|off)
680 Set the promiscuous mode on for a port or for all ports.
681 In promiscuous mode packets are not dropped if they aren't for the specified MAC address:
683 set promisc (port_id|all) (on|off)
688 Set the allmulti mode for a port or for all ports:
690 set allmulti (port_id|all) (on|off)
692 Same as the ifconfig (8) option. Controls how multicast packets are handled.
697 Set the link flow control parameter on a port:
699 set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
700 (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
704 high_water (integer): High threshold value to trigger XOFF.
706 low_water (integer) : Low threshold value to trigger XON.
708 pause_time (integer): Pause quota in the Pause frame.
710 send_xon (0/1) : Send XON frame.
712 mac_ctrl_frame_fwd : Enable receiving MAC control frames
717 Set the priority flow control parameter on a port:
719 set pfc_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \ (pause_time) (priority) (port_id)
723 priority (0-7): VLAN User Priority.
728 Set statistics mapping (qmapping 0..15) for RX/TX queue on port:
730 set stat_qmap (tx|rx) (port_id) (queue_id) (qmapping)
732 For example, to set rx queue 2 on port 0 to mapping 5:
734 .. code-block:: console
736 testpmd>set stat_qmap rx 0 2 5
738 set port - rx/tx(for VF)
739 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741 Set VF receive/transmit from a port:
743 set port (port_id) vf (vf_id) (rx|tx) (on|off)
745 set port - mac address filter (for VF)
746 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
748 Add/Remove unicast or multicast MAC addr filter for a VF:

751 (exact-mac|exact-mac-vlan|hashmac|hashmac-vlan) (on|off)
753 set port - rx mode(for VF)
754 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
756 Set the VF receive mode of a port:
758 set port (port_id) vf (vf_id) rxmode (AUPE|ROPE|BAM|MPE) (on|off)
760 The available receive modes are:
762 * AUPE: accepts untagged VLAN.
764 * ROPE: accepts unicast hash.
766 * BAM: accepts broadcast packets
768 * MPE: accepts all multicast packets
770 set port - tx_rate (for Queue)
771 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
773 Set TX rate limitation for queue of a port ID:
775 set port (port_id) queue (queue_id) rate (rate_value)
777 set port - tx_rate (for VF)
778 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
780 Set TX rate limitation for queues in VF of a port ID:

785 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
787 Set pool or vlan type mirror rule for a port:
789 set port (port_id) mirror-rule (rule_id) (pool-mirror-up|pool-mirror-down|vlan-mirror) (poolmask|vlanid[,vlanid]*) dst-pool (pool_id) (on|off)
791 Set link mirror rule for a port:
793 set port (port_id) mirror-rule (rule_id) (uplink-mirror|downlink-mirror) dst-pool (pool_id) (on|off)
795 For example to enable mirror traffic with vlan 0,1 to pool 0:
797 .. code-block:: console
799 set port 0 mirror-rule 0 vlan-mirror 0,1 dst-pool 0 on
801 reset port - mirror rule
802 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
804 Reset a mirror rule for a port.
806 reset port (port_id) mirror-rule (rule_id)
811 Flush (default) or don't flush RX streams before forwarding.

857 Set link up for a port.
859 set link-up port (port id)
864 Set link down for a port.
866 set link-down port (port id)
871 The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
875 Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
880 Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args.
882 To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
883 Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
884 Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
885 On the other hand, to attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
887 port attach (identifier)
889 For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:02:00.0.
891 .. code-block:: console
893 testpmd> port attach 0000:02:00.0
894 Attaching a new port...
896 Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
899 For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
901 .. code-block:: console
903 testpmd> port attach eth_pcap0,iface=eth0
904 Attaching a new port...
906 Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
909 In this case, identifier is "eth_pcap0,iface=eth0".
910 This identifier format is the same as "--vdev" format of DPDK applications.
915 Detach a specific port.
917 Before detaching a port, the port should be closed.
918 Also to remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
919 Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
920 Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
921 On the other hand, to remove a port created by a virtual device, above steps are not needed.
923 port detach (port_id)
925 For example, to detach a port 0.
927 .. code-block:: console
929 testpmd> port detach 0
937 Start all ports or a specific port:
939 port start (port_id|all)
944 Stop all ports or a specific port:
946 port stop (port_id|all)
951 Close all ports or a specific port:
953 port close (port_id|all)
955 port start/stop queue
956 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
958 Start/stop a rx/tx queue on a specific port:
960 port (port_id) (rxq|txq) (queue_id) (start|stop)
962 Only take effect when port is started.
967 Set the speed and duplex mode for all ports or a specific port:
969 port config (port_id|all) speed (10|100|1000|10000|auto) duplex (half|full|auto)
971 port config - queues/descriptors
972 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
974 Set number of queues/descriptors for rxq, txq, rxd and txd:
976 port config all (rxq|txq|rxd|txd) (value)
978 This is equivalent to the --rxq, --txq, --rxd and --txd command-line options.
980 port config - max-pkt-len
981 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
983 Set the maximum packet length:
985 port config all max-pkt-len (value)
987 This is equivalent to the --max-pkt-len command-line option.
989 port config - CRC Strip
990 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
992 Set hardware CRC stripping on or off for all ports:
994 port config all crc-strip (on|off)
996 CRC stripping is off by default.
998 The on option is equivalent to the --crc-strip command-line option.
1000 port config - RX Checksum
1001 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1003 Set hardware RX checksum offload to on or off for all ports:
1005 port config all rx-cksum (on|off)
1007 Checksum offload is off by default.
1009 The on option is equivalent to the --enable-rx-cksum command-line option.
1014 Set hardware VLAN on or off for all ports:
1016 port config all hw-vlan (on|off)
1018 Hardware VLAN is on by default.
1020 The off option is equivalent to the --disable-hw-vlan command-line option.
1022 port config - VLAN filter
1023 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1025 Set hardware VLAN filter on or off for all ports:
1027 port config all hw-vlan-filter (on|off)
1029 Hardware VLAN filter is on by default.
1031 The off option is equivalent to the --disable-hw-vlan-filter command-line option.
1033 port config - VLAN strip

1130 Link Bonding Functions
1131 ----------------------
1133 The Link Bonding functions make it possible to dynamically create and
1134 manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.
1136 create bonded device
1137 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1139 Create a new bonding device:
1141 create bonded device (mode) (socket)
1143 For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0.
1145 .. code-block:: console
1147 testpmd> create bonded 1 0
1148 created new bonded device (port X)
1153 Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device:
1155 add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1157 For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10).
1159 .. code-block:: console
1161 testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
1164 remove bonding slave
1165 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1167 Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device:
1169 remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1171 For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10).
1173 .. code-block:: console
1175 testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
1180 Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device:
1182 set bonding mode (value) (port id)
1184 For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3).
1186 .. code-block:: console
1188 testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
1193 Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device:
1195 set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
1197 For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10).
1199 .. code-block:: console
1201 testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10
1206 Set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device:
1208 set bonding mac (port id) (mac)
1210 For example, to set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to 00:00:00:00:00:01
1212 .. code-block:: console
1214 testpmd> set bonding mac 10 00:00:00:00:00:01
1216 set bonding xmit_balance_policy
1217 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1219 Set the transmission policy for a Link Bonding device when it is in Balance XOR mode:
1221 set bonding xmit_balance_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)
1223 For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports )
1225 .. code-block:: console
1227 testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy 10 l34
1230 set bonding mon_period
1231 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1233 Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding device.
1235 This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
1236 When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
1237 link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed.
1239 set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
1241 For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms
1243 .. code-block:: console

1257 in balance mode with a transmission policy of layer 2+3.
1259 .. code-block:: console
1261 testpmd> show bonding config 9
1263 Balance Xmit Policy: BALANCE_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER23
1265 Active Slaves (3): [1 3 4]
1271 The Register functions can be used to read from and write to registers on the network card referenced by a port number.
1272 This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
1273 Reference should be made to the appropriate datasheet for the network card for details on the register addresses
1274 and fields that can be accessed.
1279 Display the value of a port register:
1281 read reg (port_id) (address)
1283 For example, to examine the Flow Director control register (FDIRCTL, 0x0000EE000) on an Intel® 82599 10 GbE Controller:
1285 .. code-block:: console
1287 testpmd> read reg 0 0xEE00
1288 port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x4A060029 (1241907241)
1293 Display a port register bit field:
1295 read regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y)
1297 For example, reading the lowest two bits from the register in the example above:
1299 .. code-block:: console
1301 testpmd> read regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1
1302 port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bits[0, 1]=0x1 (1)
1307 Display a single port register bit:
1309 read regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x)
1311 For example, reading the lowest bit from the register in the example above:
1313 .. code-block:: console
1315 testpmd> read regbit 0 0xEE00 0
1316 port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bit 0=1
1321 Set the value of a port register:
1323 write reg (port_id) (address) (value)
1325 For example, to clear a register:
1327 .. code-block:: console
1329 testpmd> write reg 0 0xEE00 0x0
1330 port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000000 (0)
1335 Set bit field of a port register:
1337 write regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y) (value)
1339 For example, writing to the register cleared in the example above:
1341 .. code-block:: console
1343 testpmd> write regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1 2
1344 port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000002 (2)
1349 Set single bit value of a port register:
1351 write regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (value)
1353 For example, to set the high bit in the register from the example above:
1355 .. code-block:: console
1357 testpmd> write regbit 0 0xEE00 31 1
1358 port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x8000000A (2147483658)

1522 flow_director_filter
1523 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1525 The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
1527 Two types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match and Signature filters, the match mode
1528 is set by the --pkt-filter-mode command-line parameter:
1530 * Perfect match filters.
1531 The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
1533 * Signature filters.
1534 The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
1536 The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
1537 per flow type and the flexible payload. The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
1538 are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
1540 Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.
