6 Testpmd Runtime Functions
7 =========================
9 Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
10 it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
11 configure the application, display statistics (including the extended NIC
12 statistics aka xstats) , set the Flow Director and other tasks::
16 The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
17 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
18 as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
20 There is also support for tab completion.
21 If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
23 .. code-block:: console
25 testpmd> show port <TAB>
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
36 Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
38 testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
39 (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
41 In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
46 The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
47 These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
49 .. code-block:: console
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.
62 Command File Functions
63 ----------------------
65 To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
66 practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
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.
72 .. code-block:: console
74 ./dpdk-testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
75 Interactive-mode selected

90 Flow rule #499 created
91 Read all CLI commands from /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
95 * At run-time additional commands can be loaded in bulk by invoking the ``load FILENAME``
98 .. code-block:: console
100 testpmd> load /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
105 Flow rule #498 created
106 Flow rule #499 created
107 Read all CLI commands from /home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt
111 In all cases output from any included command will be displayed as standard output.
112 Execution will continue until the end of the file is reached regardless of
113 whether any errors occur. The end user must examine the output to determine if
114 any failures occurred.
123 Start packet forwarding with current configuration::
130 Start packet forwarding with current configuration after sending specified number of bursts of packets::
132 testpmd> start tx_first (""|burst_num)
134 The default burst number is 1 when ``burst_num`` not presented.
139 Stop packet forwarding, and display accumulated statistics::
154 The functions in the following sections are used to display information about the
155 testpmd configuration or the NIC status.

222 testpmd> show port (port_id) (module_eeprom|eeprom)
227 Display the rss redirection table entry indicated by masks on port X::
229 testpmd> show port (port_id) rss reta (size) (mask0, mask1...)
231 size is used to indicate the hardware supported reta size
236 Display the RSS hash functions and RSS hash key of a port::
238 testpmd> show port (port_id) rss-hash [key]
243 Clear the port statistics and forward engine statistics for a given port or for all ports::
245 testpmd> clear port (info|stats|xstats|fdir) (port_id|all)
249 testpmd> clear port stats all
254 Display information for a given port's RX/TX queue::
256 testpmd> show (rxq|txq) info (port_id) (queue_id)
258 show desc status(rxq|txq)
259 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
261 Display information for a given port's RX/TX descriptor status::

308 TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
309 TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
314 Set the packet forwarding mode::
316 testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
317 rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap) (""|retry)
319 ``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
321 The available information categories are:
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.
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.
332 * ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
333 Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
335 * ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
336 Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
338 * ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
340 * ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
342 * ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
344 * ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
346 * ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX.
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).
352 * ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
354 L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
356 L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
358 L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
362 testpmd> set fwd rxonly
364 Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
370 When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.
371 Example for the io forwarding engine, with some packet drops on the tx side::

639 Configuration Functions
640 -----------------------
642 The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
644 This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
648 Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
653 Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
660 Set the debug verbosity level::
662 testpmd> set verbose (level)
664 Available levels are as following:
666 * ``0`` silent except for error.
667 * ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
668 * ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
669 * ``> 2`` fully verbose.
674 Set the log level for a log type::
676 testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
680 * ``type`` is the log name.
682 * ``level`` is the log level.
684 For example, to change the global log level::
686 testpmd> set log global (level)
688 Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
690 testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
695 Set the number of ports used by the application:
699 This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
704 Set the number of cores used by the application::
706 testpmd> set nbcore (num)
708 This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
712 The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
717 Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
719 testpmd> set coremask (mask)
721 This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
725 The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
730 Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
732 testpmd> set portmask (mask)
734 This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
736 set record-core-cycles
737 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
739 Set the recording of CPU cycles::
741 testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
745 * ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
747 * ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
749 This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
751 set record-burst-stats
752 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
754 Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
756 testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
760 * ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
762 * ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
764 This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
769 Set number of packets per burst::
771 testpmd> set burst (num)
773 This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
775 When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
777 testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
782 Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
783 if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
784 offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
786 testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
788 Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
789 of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
790 for the remaining segments.
795 Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
796 feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
797 (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
798 pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
799 to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
800 mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
801 from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
802 mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
804 testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
806 Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
807 means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
812 Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
814 testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
816 Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
821 Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
822 the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
823 timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
824 application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
825 to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
826 and between the packets within the burst::
828 testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
832 * ``inter`` is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
833 If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
834 first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
835 ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
836 of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
837 previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
838 on timestamps is disabled (default).
840 * ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
841 in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
842 by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
843 provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
845 As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
846 delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
847 the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
848 and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
849 and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
850 rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
855 Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
857 testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
861 * ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
863 * ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
864 and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
867 * ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
872 Set the list of forwarding cores::
874 testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
876 For example, to change the forwarding cores:
878 .. code-block:: console
880 testpmd> set corelist 3,1
881 testpmd> show config fwd
883 io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
884 Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
885 RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
886 Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
887 RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
891 The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
896 Set the list of forwarding ports::
898 testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)
900 For example, to change the port forwarding:
902 .. code-block:: console
904 testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
905 testpmd> show config fwd
907 io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
908 Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
909 RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
910 RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
911 RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03
912 RX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:02
917 Select how to retrieve new ports created after "port attach" command::
919 testpmd> set port setup on (iterator|event)

1047 Add a VLAN ID, or all identifiers, to the set of VLAN identifiers filtered by port ID::
1049 testpmd> rx_vlan add (vlan_id|all) (port_id)
1053 VLAN filter must be set on that port. VLAN ID < 4096.
1054 Depending on the NIC used, number of vlan_ids may be limited to the maximum entries

1126 transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1128 testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip|outer-udp) (hw|sw) (port_id)
1132 * ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to the inner layer.
1134 * ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
1135 as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gre, gtp, ipip, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1136 supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1138 * ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
1139 as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gtp, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
1140 supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
1144 Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.

1169 testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region flush (on|off)
1173 * ``on``: is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
1174 it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
1175 at first will only keep in DPDK software stored in driver,
1176 only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.
1178 * ``"off``: is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
1179 and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
1181 Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
1183 testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
1187 Queue region only support on PF by now, so these command is
1188 only for configuration of queue region on PF port.
1193 Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1196 testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1198 If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1199 tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1201 If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1202 header is handled as a packet payload).
1206 The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1210 Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1212 eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1214 * If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1215 command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1216 ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1218 * If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1219 command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1251 testpmd> tunnel_tso set (tso_segsz) (port_id)
1256 Display the status of tunneled TCP Segmentation Offload for a port::
1258 testpmd> tunnel_tso show (port_id)
1263 Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1265 testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1267 If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1268 packets received from the given port.
1270 If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1271 GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1275 When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1276 will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1277 checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1278 the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1279 have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1280 HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1286 Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1288 testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1293 Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1295 testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1297 When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1298 packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1299 can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1300 from the reassembly tables.
1302 The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1303 engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1306 By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1307 from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1308 of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1310 Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1311 stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1312 stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1317 Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1319 testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1321 If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1322 packets, transmitted on the given port.
1324 If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1325 By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1329 When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1330 port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1331 multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1332 of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1333 checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1336 For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1337 by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1339 testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1341 testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1343 testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1345 UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1346 as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1347 after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1348 header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1349 and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1350 correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1355 Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the
1356 packet header and the packet payload for GSO-enabled ports (global)::
1358 testpmd> set gso segsz <length>

2026 sample ratio 2 index 2 / end
2028 Otherwise the default index ``0`` is used.
2033 The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
2037 Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
2042 Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2044 testpmd> port attach (identifier)
2046 To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
2047 Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
2048 Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
2050 For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
2052 .. code-block:: console
2054 # Check the status of the available devices.
2055 ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2057 Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2058 ============================================
2061 Network devices using kernel driver
2062 ===================================
2063 0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
2066 # Bind the device to igb_uio.
2067 sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
2070 # Recheck the status of the devices.
2071 ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2072 Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2073 ============================================
2074 0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
2076 To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2078 For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
2080 .. code-block:: console
2082 testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
2083 Attaching a new port...
2084 EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2085 EAL: probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2086 EAL: PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2087 EAL: PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2088 PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
2089 PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
2090 Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2093 For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
2095 .. code-block:: console
2097 testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
2098 Attaching a new port...
2099 PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
2100 PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
2101 Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2104 In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2105 This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2107 For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
2108 the mode and slave parameters must be given.
2110 .. code-block:: console
2112 testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
2113 Attaching a new port...
2114 EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
2115 EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
2116 Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2123 Detach a specific port::
2125 testpmd> port detach (port_id)
2127 Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
2129 For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
2131 .. code-block:: console
2133 testpmd> port stop 0
2136 testpmd> port close 0
2140 testpmd> port detach 0
2142 EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2143 EAL: remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2144 EAL: PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2145 EAL: PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2149 For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2151 .. code-block:: console
2153 testpmd> port stop 0
2156 testpmd> port close 0
2160 testpmd> port detach 0
2162 PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2163 Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2166 To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2167 Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2168 Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2170 For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2172 .. code-block:: console
2174 sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2176 ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2178 Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2179 ============================================
2182 Network devices using kernel driver
2183 ===================================
2184 0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=igb_uio
2186 To remove a port created by a virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2191 Start all ports or a specific port::
2193 testpmd> port start (port_id|all)
2198 Stop all ports or a specific port::
2200 testpmd> port stop (port_id|all)
2205 Close all ports or a specific port::
2207 testpmd> port close (port_id|all)

2303 RSS is on by default.
2305 The ``all`` option is equivalent to eth|vlan|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|l2tpv3|esp|ah|pfcp.
2307 The ``default`` option enables all supported RSS types reported by device info.
2309 The ``none`` option is equivalent to the ``--disable-rss`` command-line option.

2458 The following sections show functions for device operations.
2463 Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2465 testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2467 Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2469 For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2471 .. code-block:: console
2473 testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2474 Removing a device...
2475 Port 1 is now closed
2476 EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2477 EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2478 EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2479 Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2480 Now total ports is 1
2482 For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2484 .. code-block:: console
2486 testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2487 Removing a device...
2488 Port 0 is now closed
2489 Device net_pcap0 is detached
2490 Now total ports is 0
2493 In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2494 This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2496 Link Bonding Functions
2497 ----------------------
2499 The Link Bonding functions make it possible to dynamically create and
2500 manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.
2502 create bonded device
2503 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2505 Create a new bonding device::
2507 testpmd> create bonded device (mode) (socket)
2509 For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0::
2511 testpmd> create bonded device 1 0
2512 created new bonded device (port X)
2517 Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
2519 testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2521 For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2523 testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2526 remove bonding slave
2527 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2529 Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2531 testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2533 For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2535 testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
2540 Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device::
2542 testpmd> set bonding mode (value) (port id)
2544 For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3)::
2546 testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
2551 Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device::
2553 testpmd> set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
2555 For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2557 testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10

2583 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2585 Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding device.
2587 This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2588 When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2589 link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2591 testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
2593 For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::
2595 testpmd> set bonding mon_period 5 150

2681 Set the value of a port register::
2683 testpmd> write reg (port_id) (address) (value)
2685 For example, to clear a register::
2687 testpmd> write reg 0 0xEE00 0x0
2688 port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000000 (0)
2693 Set bit field of a port register::

3291 Flow rules management
3292 ---------------------
3294 Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3295 ``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3298 Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3299 features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3305 Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3306 of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3307 other commands, in particular:
3309 - Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3310 token, not that of the entire command.
3312 - Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3313 in the contextual help).
3315 The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3316 their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3319 - Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3321 flow validate {port_id}
3322 [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3323 pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3324 actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3326 - Create a flow rule::
3328 flow create {port_id}
3329 [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3330 pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3331 actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3333 - Destroy specific flow rules::
3335 flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3337 - Destroy all flow rules::
3339 flow flush {port_id}
3341 - Query an existing flow rule::
3343 flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3345 - List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3348 flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3350 - Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3352 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3354 - Dump internal representation information of all flows in hardware::
3356 flow dump {port_id} all {output_file}
3360 flow dump {port_id} rule {rule_id} {output_file}
3362 - List and destroy aged flow rules::
3364 flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
3366 - Tunnel offload - create a tunnel stub::
3368 flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3370 - Tunnel offload - destroy a tunnel stub::
3372 flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3374 - Tunnel offload - list port tunnel stubs::
3376 flow tunnel list {port_id}
3378 Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3379 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3381 ``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3383 flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3385 If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3387 port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3389 Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3391 Destroying tunnel offload stub
3392 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3394 ``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3396 flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3398 Listing tunnel offload stubs
3399 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3401 ``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3403 flow tunnel list {port_id}
3405 Validating flow rules
3406 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3408 ``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3409 underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3410 bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3412 flow validate {port_id}
3413 [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3414 pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3415 actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3417 If successful, it will show::
3421 Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3423 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3425 This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3426 described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3428 Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3429 index 6 is supported::
3431 testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3432 actions queue index 6 / end
3436 Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3438 testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3440 Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3446 ``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3447 to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3449 flow create {port_id}
3450 [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3451 [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3452 pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3453 actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3455 If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3457 Flow rule #[...] created
3459 Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3461 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3463 Parameters describe in the following order:
3465 - Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3466 - Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3467 - A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3469 - Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3472 These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3473 underlying functions.
3475 The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3477 testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3479 Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3482 **All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3487 These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3488 specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3490 - ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3491 - ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3492 - ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3493 - ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3494 - ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3496 Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3497 value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3499 testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3501 Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3503 While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3506 Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3508 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3513 Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3515 - ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3516 - ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunel offload match type.
3521 A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3522 items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3524 Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3525 rte_flow_item_type``).
3527 The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3530 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3532 Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3533 layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3534 unlikely to match any packet::
3536 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3538 More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3541 Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3542 ``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3544 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3545 dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3547 This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3549 In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3550 ``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3551 in a similar fashion.
3553 The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3554 and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3555 accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3557 - ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3558 - ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3559 - ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3560 - ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3561 - ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3563 These yield identical results::
3565 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3569 ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3573 ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3577 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3581 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3583 Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3585 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3587 Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3589 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3590 # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3592 Properties can be modified multiple times::
3594 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3598 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

3824 A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3825 `Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3826 terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3828 Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3829 rte_flow_action_type``).
3831 Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3833 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3836 Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3837 there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3840 This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3842 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3843 actions queue index 6 / end
3845 While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3847 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3850 As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3851 rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3853 queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3857 void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3859 All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3860 action of a given type is taken into account::
3862 queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3866 drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3870 mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3872 Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3873 actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3875 drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3879 queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3883 drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3885 Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4096 Destroying flow rules
4097 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4099 ``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4100 by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4101 times as necessary::
4103 flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4105 If successful, it will show::
4107 Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4109 It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4110 message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4112 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4114 ``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4115 arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4117 flow flush {port_id}
4119 Any errors are reported as above.
4121 Creating several rules and destroying them::
4123 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4124 actions queue index 2 / end
4125 Flow rule #0 created
4126 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4127 actions queue index 3 / end
4128 Flow rule #1 created
4129 testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4130 Flow rule #1 destroyed
4131 Flow rule #0 destroyed
4134 The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4136 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4137 actions queue index 2 / end
4138 Flow rule #0 created
4139 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4140 actions queue index 3 / end
4141 Flow rule #1 created
4142 testpmd> flow flush 0
4145 Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4147 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4148 actions queue index 2 / end
4149 Flow rule #0 created
4150 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4151 actions queue index 3 / end
4152 Flow rule #1 created
4153 testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4155 testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4156 Flow rule #0 destroyed
4162 ``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4163 ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4164 command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4166 flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4168 If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4169 or the following message::
4171 Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4173 Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4176 Flow rule #[...] not found
4180 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4182 Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4183 number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4184 output has the following format::
4187 hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4188 bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4189 hits: [...] # number of packets
4190 bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4192 Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4194 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4195 actions queue index 6 / count / end
4196 Flow rule #4 created
4197 testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4208 ``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4209 filtered by group identifiers::
4211 flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4213 This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4218 Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4219 flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4220 configured on the device::
4222 ID Group Prio Attr Rule
4223 [...] [...] [...] [...] [...]
4225 ``Attr`` column flags:
4227 - ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4228 - ``e`` for ``egress``.
4230 Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4232 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4233 actions queue index 6 / end
4234 Flow rule #0 created
4235 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4236 actions queue index 2 / end
4237 Flow rule #1 created
4238 testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4239 actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4240 Flow rule #2 created
4241 testpmd> flow list 0
4242 ID Group Prio Attr Rule
4243 0 0 0 i- ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4244 1 0 0 i- ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4245 2 0 5 i- ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4248 Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4250 testpmd> flow list 1
4251 ID Group Prio Attr Rule
4252 0 0 0 i- ETH => COUNT
4253 6 0 500 i- ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4254 5 0 1000 i- ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4255 1 24 0 i- ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4256 4 24 10 i- ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4257 3 24 20 i- ETH IPV4 => DROP
4258 2 24 42 i- ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4259 7 63 0 i- ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4262 Output can be limited to specific groups::
4264 testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4265 ID Group Prio Attr Rule
4266 0 0 0 i- ETH => COUNT
4267 6 0 500 i- ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4268 5 0 1000 i- ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4269 7 63 0 i- ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4272 Toggling isolated mode
4273 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4275 ``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4276 must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4277 is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4278 resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4280 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4282 If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4284 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4285 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4289 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4290 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4292 Otherwise, in case of error::
4294 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4296 Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4297 ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4298 first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4300 Enabling isolated mode::
4302 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4303 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4306 Disabling isolated mode::
4308 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4309 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4312 Dumping HW internal information
4313 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4315 ``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4316 all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4318 flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4320 If successful, it will show::
4324 Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4326 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4328 Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4329 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4331 ``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4332 and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4334 flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4336 Listing current aged flow rules::
4338 testpmd> flow aged 0
4339 Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4340 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4341 actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 / end
4342 Flow rule #0 created
4343 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4344 actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 / end
4345 Flow rule #1 created
4346 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4347 actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 / end
4348 Flow rule #2 created
4349 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4350 actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 / end
4351 Flow rule #3 created
4354 Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4355 information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4356 those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4357 will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4359 testpmd> flow aged 0
4360 Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4367 If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.
4369 testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
4370 Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4377 Flow rule #2 destroyed
4378 Flow rule #3 destroyed
4379 Flow rule #1 destroyed
4380 Flow rule #0 destroyed
4381 4 flows be destroyed
4382 testpmd> flow aged 0
4383 Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4385 Creating indirect actions
4386 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4388 ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create`` creates indirect action with optional
4389 indirect action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_create()``::
4391 flow indirect_action {port_id} create [action_id {indirect_action_id}]
4392 [ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
4394 If successful, it will show::
4396 Indirect action #[...] created
4398 Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action already exists or that
4399 some error occurred::
4401 Indirect action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4405 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4407 Create indirect rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4409 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id 100 \
4410 ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
4412 Create indirect rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
4415 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id \
4416 ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4418 Updating indirect actions
4419 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4421 ``flow indirect_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the indirect
4422 action from its indirect action ID (as returned by
4423 ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4424 ``rte_flow_action_handle_update()``::
4426 flow indirect_action {port_id} update {indirect_action_id}
4427 action {action} / end
4429 If successful, it will show::
4431 Indirect action #[...] updated
4433 Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4436 Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4440 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4442 Update indirect rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4443 (in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4445 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4447 Destroying indirect actions
4448 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4450 ``flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy`` destroys one or more indirect actions
4451 from their indirect action IDs (as returned by
4452 ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4453 ``rte_flow_action_handle_destroy()``::
4455 flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy action_id {indirect_action_id} [...]
4457 If successful, it will show::
4459 Indirect action #[...] destroyed
4461 It does not report anything for indirect action IDs that do not exist.
4462 The usual error message is shown when a indirect action cannot be destroyed::
4464 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4466 Destroy indirect actions having id 100 & 101::
4468 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4470 Query indirect actions
4471 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4473 ``flow indirect_action {port_id} query`` queries the indirect action from its
4474 indirect action ID (as returned by ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``).
4475 It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_query()``::
4477 flow indirect_action {port_id} query {indirect_action_id}
4479 Currently only rss indirect action supported. If successful, it will show::
4481 Indirect RSS action:
4484 Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4487 Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4491 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4493 Query indirect action having id 100::
4495 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 query 100
4497 Sample QinQ flow rules
4498 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4500 Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4502 testpmd> port stop 0
4503 testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4505 The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4507 To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4509 testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4510 testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4511 testpmd> port start 0

5040 The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5045 Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5047 testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5049 The available load-flags are:
5051 * ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5053 * ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5059 You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5063 .. code-block:: console
5066 clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5068 Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5070 .. code-block:: console
5072 testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5074 To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5076 .. code-block:: console
5078 testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5083 Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5085 testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5087 For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5089 .. code-block:: console
5091 testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
