+ sudo ./dpdk-testpmd -l 0-3 -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0x1 --nb-cores=2
The command line options are:
* ``--nb-cores=N``
Set the number of forwarding cores,
- where 1 <= N <= "number of cores" or ``CONFIG_RTE_MAX_LCORE`` from the configuration file.
+ where 1 <= N <= "number of cores" or ``RTE_MAX_LCORE`` from the configuration file.
The default value is 1.
* ``--nb-ports=N``
Set the number of forwarding ports,
- where 1 <= N <= "number of ports" on the board or ``CONFIG_RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS`` from the configuration file.
+ where 1 <= N <= "number of ports" on the board or ``RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS`` from the configuration file.
The default value is the number of ports on the board.
* ``--coremask=0xXX``
Set the hexadecimal bitmask of the cores running the packet forwarding test.
- The master lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
+ The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
* ``--portmask=0xXX``
Set the hexadecimal bitmask of the ports used by the packet forwarding test.
+* ``--portlist=X``
+
+ Set the forwarding ports based on the user input used by the packet forwarding test.
+ '-' denotes a range of ports to set including the two specified port IDs
+ ',' separates multiple port values.
+ Possible examples like --portlist=0,1 or --portlist=0-2 or --portlist=0,1-2 etc
+
* ``--numa``
Enable NUMA-aware allocation of RX/TX rings and of RX memory buffers
Set the socket from which all memory is allocated in NUMA mode,
where 0 <= N < number of sockets on the board.
-* ``--mbuf-size=N``
+* ``--mbuf-size=N[,N1[,...Nn]``
- Set the data size of the mbufs used to N bytes, where N < 65536. The default value is 2048.
+ Set the data size of the mbufs used to N bytes, where N < 65536.
+ The default value is 2048. If multiple mbuf-size values are specified the
+ extra memory pools will be created for allocating mbufs to receive packets
+ with buffer splittling features.
* ``--total-num-mbufs=N``
* ``--eth-peer=N,XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX``
Set the MAC address ``XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX`` of the peer port N,
- where 0 <= N < ``CONFIG_RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS`` from the configuration file.
+ where 0 <= N < ``RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS``.
* ``--tx-ip=SRC,DST``
ieee1588
tm
noisy
+ 5tswap
* ``--rss-ip``
If set to 0, driver default is used if defined. Else, if driver
default is not defined, default of 32 is used.
+* ``--flowgen-clones=N``
+
+ Set the number of each packet clones to be sent in `flowgen` mode.
+ Sending clones reduces host CPU load on creating packets and may help
+ in testing extreme speeds or maxing out Tx packet performance.
+ N should be not zero, but less than 'burst' parameter.
+
* ``--mbcache=N``
Set the cache of mbuf memory pools to N, where 0 <= N <= 512.
Don't flush the RX streams before starting forwarding. Used mainly with the PCAP PMD.
+* ``--rxoffs=X[,Y]``
+
+ Set the offsets of packet segments on receiving if split
+ feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured
+ with split offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
+
+* ``--rxpkts=X[,Y]``
+
+ Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
+ feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured
+ with split offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
+ Optionally the multiple memory pools can be specified with --mbuf-size
+ command line parameter and the mbufs to receive will be allocated
+ sequentially from these extra memory pools.
+
* ``--txpkts=X[,Y]``
Set TX segment sizes or total packet length. Valid for ``tx-only``
Set the logical core N to perform bitrate calculation.
-* ``--print-event <unknown|intr_lsc|queue_state|intr_reset|vf_mbox|macsec|intr_rmv|dev_probed|dev_released|all>``
+* ``--print-event <unknown|intr_lsc|queue_state|intr_reset|vf_mbox|macsec|intr_rmv|dev_probed|dev_released|flow_aged|all>``
Enable printing the occurrence of the designated event. Using all will
enable all of them.
-* ``--mask-event <unknown|intr_lsc|queue_state|intr_reset|vf_mbox|macsec|intr_rmv|dev_probed|dev_released|all>``
+* ``--mask-event <unknown|intr_lsc|queue_state|intr_reset|vf_mbox|macsec|intr_rmv|dev_probed|dev_released|flow_aged|all>``
Disable printing the occurrence of the designated event. Using all will
disable all of them.
Set the UDP port number of tunnel VXLAN-GPE to N.
The default value is 4790.
+* ``--geneve-parsed-port=N``
+
+ Set the UDP port number that is used for parsing the GENEVE protocol to N.
+ HW may be configured with another tunnel Geneve port.
+ The default value is 6081.
+
* ``--mlockall``
Enable locking all memory.
Enable to create mempool which is not IOVA contiguous. Valid only with --mp-alloc=anon.
The default value is 0.
+
+* ``--rx-mq-mode``
+
+ Set the hexadecimal bitmask of RX multi queue mode which can be enabled.
+ The default value is 0x7::
+
+ ETH_MQ_RX_RSS_FLAG | ETH_MQ_RX_DCB_FLAG | ETH_MQ_RX_VMDQ_FLAG
+
+* ``--record-core-cycles``
+
+ Enable measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
+
+* ``--record-burst-stats``
+
+ Enable display of RX and TX burst stats.
+
+* ``--hairpin-mode=0xXX``
+
+ Set the hairpin port mode with bitmask, only valid when hairpin queues number is set.
+ bit 4 - explicit Tx flow rule
+ bit 1 - two hairpin ports paired
+ bit 0 - two hairpin ports loop
+ The default value is 0. Hairpin will use single port mode and implicit Tx flow mode.
