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 The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
2030 Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
2035 Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2037 testpmd> port attach (identifier)
2039 To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
2040 Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
2041 Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
2043 For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
2045 .. code-block:: console
2047 # Check the status of the available devices.
2048 ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2050 Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2051 ============================================
2054 Network devices using kernel driver
2055 ===================================
2056 0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
2059 # Bind the device to igb_uio.
2060 sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
2063 # Recheck the status of the devices.
2064 ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2065 Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2066 ============================================
2067 0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
2069 To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2071 For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
2073 .. code-block:: console
2075 testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
2076 Attaching a new port...
2077 EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2078 EAL: probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2079 EAL: PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2080 EAL: PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2081 PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
2082 PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
2083 Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2086 For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
2088 .. code-block:: console
2090 testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
2091 Attaching a new port...
2092 PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
2093 PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
2094 Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2097 In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2098 This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2100 For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
2101 the mode and slave parameters must be given.
2103 .. code-block:: console
2105 testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
2106 Attaching a new port...
2107 EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
2108 EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
2109 Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2116 Detach a specific port::
2118 testpmd> port detach (port_id)
2120 Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
2122 For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
2124 .. code-block:: console
2126 testpmd> port stop 0
2129 testpmd> port close 0
2133 testpmd> port detach 0
2135 EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2136 EAL: remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2137 EAL: PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2138 EAL: PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2142 For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2144 .. code-block:: console
2146 testpmd> port stop 0
2149 testpmd> port close 0
2153 testpmd> port detach 0
2155 PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2156 Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2159 To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2160 Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2161 Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2163 For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2165 .. code-block:: console
2167 sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2169 ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2171 Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2172 ============================================
2175 Network devices using kernel driver
2176 ===================================
2177 0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=igb_uio
2179 To remove a port created by a virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2184 Start all ports or a specific port::
2186 testpmd> port start (port_id|all)
2191 Stop all ports or a specific port::
2193 testpmd> port stop (port_id|all)
2198 Close all ports or a specific port::
2200 testpmd> port close (port_id|all)
2205 Reset all ports or a specific port::
2207 testpmd> port reset (port_id|all)
2209 User should stop port(s) before resetting and (re-)start after reset.

2296 RSS is on by default.
2298 The ``all`` option is equivalent to eth|vlan|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|l2tpv3|esp|ah|pfcp.
2300 The ``default`` option enables all supported RSS types reported by device info.
2302 The ``none`` option is equivalent to the ``--disable-rss`` command-line option.

2480 Link Bonding Functions
2481 ----------------------
2483 The Link Bonding functions make it possible to dynamically create and
2484 manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.
2486 create bonded device
2487 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2489 Create a new bonding device::
2491 testpmd> create bonded device (mode) (socket)
2493 For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0::
2495 testpmd> create bonded device 1 0
2496 created new bonded device (port X)
2501 Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
2503 testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2505 For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2507 testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2510 remove bonding slave
2511 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2513 Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2515 testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2517 For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2519 testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
2524 Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device::
2526 testpmd> set bonding mode (value) (port id)
2528 For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3)::
2530 testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
2535 Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device::
2537 testpmd> set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
2539 For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2541 testpmd> set bonding primary 6 10
2546 Set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device::
2548 testpmd> set bonding mac (port id) (mac)
2550 For example, to set the MAC address of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to 00:00:00:00:00:01::

2559 testpmd> set bonding balance_xmit_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)
2561 For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2563 testpmd> set bonding balance_xmit_policy 10 l34
2566 set bonding mon_period
2567 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2569 Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding device.
2571 This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2572 When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2573 link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2575 testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
2577 For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::
2579 testpmd> set bonding mon_period 5 150
2582 set bonding lacp dedicated_queue
2583 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3275 Flow rules management
3276 ---------------------
3278 Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
3279 ``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
3282 Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3283 features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3289 Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3290 of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3291 other commands, in particular:
3293 - Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3294 token, not that of the entire command.
3296 - Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3297 in the contextual help).
3299 The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3300 their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3303 - Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3305 flow validate {port_id}
3306 [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3307 pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3308 actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3310 - Create a flow rule::
3312 flow create {port_id}
3313 [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3314 pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3315 actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3317 - Destroy specific flow rules::
3319 flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3321 - Destroy all flow rules::
3323 flow flush {port_id}
3325 - Query an existing flow rule::
3327 flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3329 - List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3332 flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3334 - Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3336 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3338 - Dump internal representation information of all flows in hardware::
3340 flow dump {port_id} all {output_file}
3344 flow dump {port_id} rule {rule_id} {output_file}
3346 - List and destroy aged flow rules::
3348 flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
3350 - Tunnel offload - create a tunnel stub::
3352 flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3354 - Tunnel offload - destroy a tunnel stub::
3356 flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3358 - Tunnel offload - list port tunnel stubs::
3360 flow tunnel list {port_id}
3362 Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3363 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3365 ``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3367 flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3369 If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3371 port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3373 Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3375 Destroying tunnel offload stub
3376 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3378 ``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3380 flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3382 Listing tunnel offload stubs
3383 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3385 ``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3387 flow tunnel list {port_id}
3389 Validating flow rules
3390 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3392 ``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3393 underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3394 bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3396 flow validate {port_id}
3397 [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3398 pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3399 actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3401 If successful, it will show::
3405 Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3407 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3409 This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3410 described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3412 Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3413 index 6 is supported::
3415 testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3416 actions queue index 6 / end
3420 Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3422 testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3424 Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3430 ``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3431 to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3433 flow create {port_id}
3434 [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3435 [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3436 pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3437 actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3439 If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3441 Flow rule #[...] created
3443 Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3445 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3447 Parameters describe in the following order:
3449 - Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3450 - Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3451 - A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3453 - Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3456 These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3457 underlying functions.
3459 The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3461 testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3463 Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3466 **All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3471 These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3472 specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3474 - ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3475 - ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3476 - ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3477 - ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3478 - ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3480 Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3481 value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3483 testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3485 Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3487 While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3490 Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3492 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3497 Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3499 - ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3500 - ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunel offload match type.
3505 A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3506 items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3508 Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3509 rte_flow_item_type``).
3511 The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3514 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3516 Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3517 layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3518 unlikely to match any packet::
3520 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3522 More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3525 Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3526 ``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3528 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3529 dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3531 This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3533 In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3534 ``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3535 in a similar fashion.
3537 The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3538 and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3539 accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3541 - ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3542 - ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3543 - ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3544 - ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3545 - ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3547 These yield identical results::
3549 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3553 ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3557 ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3561 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3565 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3567 Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3569 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3571 Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3573 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3574 # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3576 Properties can be modified multiple times::
3578 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3582 ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

3808 A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3809 `Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3810 terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3812 Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3813 rte_flow_action_type``).
3815 Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3817 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3820 Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3821 there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3824 This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3826 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3827 actions queue index 6 / end
3829 While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3831 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3834 As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3835 rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3837 queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3841 void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3843 All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3844 action of a given type is taken into account::
3846 queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3850 drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3854 mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3856 Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3857 actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3859 drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3863 queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3867 drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3869 Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
3874 This section lists supported actions and their attributes, if any.
3876 - ``end``: end list of actions.
3878 - ``void``: no-op action.
3880 - ``passthru``: let subsequent rule process matched packets.
3882 - ``jump``: redirect traffic to group on device.

4076 Destroying flow rules
4077 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4079 ``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4080 by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4081 times as necessary::
4083 flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4085 If successful, it will show::
4087 Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4089 It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4090 message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4092 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4094 ``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4095 arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4097 flow flush {port_id}
4099 Any errors are reported as above.
4101 Creating several rules and destroying them::
4103 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4104 actions queue index 2 / end
4105 Flow rule #0 created
4106 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4107 actions queue index 3 / end
4108 Flow rule #1 created
4109 testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4110 Flow rule #1 destroyed
4111 Flow rule #0 destroyed
4114 The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4116 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4117 actions queue index 2 / end
4118 Flow rule #0 created
4119 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4120 actions queue index 3 / end
4121 Flow rule #1 created
4122 testpmd> flow flush 0
4125 Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4127 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4128 actions queue index 2 / end
4129 Flow rule #0 created
4130 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4131 actions queue index 3 / end
4132 Flow rule #1 created
4133 testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4135 testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4136 Flow rule #0 destroyed
4142 ``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4143 ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4144 command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4146 flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4148 If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4149 or the following message::
4151 Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4153 Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4156 Flow rule #[...] not found
4160 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4162 Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4163 number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4164 output has the following format::
4167 hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4168 bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4169 hits: [...] # number of packets
4170 bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4172 Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4174 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4175 actions queue index 6 / count / end
4176 Flow rule #4 created
4177 testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4188 ``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4189 filtered by group identifiers::
4191 flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4193 This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4198 Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4199 flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4200 configured on the device::
4202 ID Group Prio Attr Rule
4203 [...] [...] [...] [...] [...]
4205 ``Attr`` column flags:
4207 - ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4208 - ``e`` for ``egress``.
4210 Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4212 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4213 actions queue index 6 / end
4214 Flow rule #0 created
4215 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4216 actions queue index 2 / end
4217 Flow rule #1 created
4218 testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4219 actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4220 Flow rule #2 created
4221 testpmd> flow list 0
4222 ID Group Prio Attr Rule
4223 0 0 0 i- ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4224 1 0 0 i- ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4225 2 0 5 i- ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4228 Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4230 testpmd> flow list 1
4231 ID Group Prio Attr Rule
4232 0 0 0 i- ETH => COUNT
4233 6 0 500 i- ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4234 5 0 1000 i- ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4235 1 24 0 i- ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4236 4 24 10 i- ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4237 3 24 20 i- ETH IPV4 => DROP
4238 2 24 42 i- ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4239 7 63 0 i- ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4242 Output can be limited to specific groups::
4244 testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4245 ID Group Prio Attr Rule
4246 0 0 0 i- ETH => COUNT
4247 6 0 500 i- ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4248 5 0 1000 i- ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4249 7 63 0 i- ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4252 Toggling isolated mode
4253 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4255 ``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4256 must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4257 is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4258 resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4260 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4262 If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4264 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4265 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4269 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4270 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4272 Otherwise, in case of error::
4274 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4276 Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4277 ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4278 first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4280 Enabling isolated mode::
4282 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4283 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4286 Disabling isolated mode::
4288 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4289 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4292 Dumping HW internal information
4293 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4295 ``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4296 all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4298 flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4300 If successful, it will show::
4304 Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4306 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4308 Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4309 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4311 ``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4312 and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4314 flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4316 Listing current aged flow rules::
4318 testpmd> flow aged 0
4319 Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4320 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4321 actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 / end
4322 Flow rule #0 created
4323 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4324 actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 / end
4325 Flow rule #1 created
4326 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4327 actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 / end
4328 Flow rule #2 created
4329 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4330 actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 / end
4331 Flow rule #3 created
4334 Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4335 information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4336 those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4337 will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4339 testpmd> flow aged 0
4340 Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4347 If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.
4349 testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
4350 Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4357 Flow rule #2 destroyed
4358 Flow rule #3 destroyed
4359 Flow rule #1 destroyed
4360 Flow rule #0 destroyed
4361 4 flows be destroyed
4362 testpmd> flow aged 0
4363 Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4365 Creating indirect actions
4366 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4368 ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create`` creates indirect action with optional
4369 indirect action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_create()``::
4371 flow indirect_action {port_id} create [action_id {indirect_action_id}]
4372 [ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
4374 If successful, it will show::
4376 Indirect action #[...] created
4378 Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action already exists or that
4379 some error occurred::
4381 Indirect action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4385 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4387 Create indirect rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4389 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id 100 \
4390 ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
4392 Create indirect rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
4395 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id \
4396 ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4398 Updating indirect actions
4399 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4401 ``flow indirect_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the indirect
4402 action from its indirect action ID (as returned by
4403 ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4404 ``rte_flow_action_handle_update()``::
4406 flow indirect_action {port_id} update {indirect_action_id}
4407 action {action} / end
4409 If successful, it will show::
4411 Indirect action #[...] updated
4413 Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4416 Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4420 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4422 Update indirect rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4423 (in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4425 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4427 Destroying indirect actions
4428 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4430 ``flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy`` destroys one or more indirect actions
4431 from their indirect action IDs (as returned by
4432 ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4433 ``rte_flow_action_handle_destroy()``::
4435 flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy action_id {indirect_action_id} [...]
4437 If successful, it will show::
4439 Indirect action #[...] destroyed
4441 It does not report anything for indirect action IDs that do not exist.
4442 The usual error message is shown when a indirect action cannot be destroyed::
4444 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4446 Destroy indirect actions having id 100 & 101::
4448 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4450 Query indirect actions
4451 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4453 ``flow indirect_action {port_id} query`` queries the indirect action from its
4454 indirect action ID (as returned by ``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``).
4455 It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_query()``::
4457 flow indirect_action {port_id} query {indirect_action_id}
4459 Currently only rss indirect action supported. If successful, it will show::
4461 Indirect RSS action:
4464 Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
4467 Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
4471 Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4473 Query indirect action having id 100::
4475 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 query 100
4477 Sample QinQ flow rules
4478 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4480 Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4482 testpmd> port stop 0
4483 testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4485 The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4487 To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4489 testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4490 testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4491 testpmd> port start 0

4967 Conntrack rules can be set by the following commands
4969 Need to construct the connection context with provided information.
4970 In the first table, create a flow rule by using conntrack action and jump to
4971 the next table. In the next table, create a rule to check the state.
4975 testpmd> set conntrack com peer 1 is_orig 1 enable 1 live 1 sack 1 cack 0

4987 testpmd> flow create 0 group 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / conntrack is 1 / end actions queue index 5 / end
4989 Construct the conntrack again with only "is_orig" set to 0 (other fields are
4990 ignored), then use "update" interface to update the direction. Create flow
4991 rules like above for the peer port.
4995 testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 0 action conntrack_update dir / end
5000 The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5005 Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5007 testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5009 The available load-flags are:
5011 * ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5013 * ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5019 You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5023 .. code-block:: console
5026 clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5028 Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5030 .. code-block:: console
5032 testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5034 To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5036 .. code-block:: console
5038 testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5043 Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5045 testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5047 For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5049 .. code-block:: console
5051 testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
