6Testpmd Runtime Functions
7=========================
8
9Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
10it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
11configure the application, display statistics (including the extended NIC
12statistics aka xstats) , set the Flow Director and other tasks::
13
14   testpmd>
15
16The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
17Common bash command-line functions such as ``Ctrl+a`` and ``Ctrl+e`` to go to the start and end of the prompt line are supported
18as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
19
20There is also support for tab completion.
21If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
22
23.. code-block:: console
24
25   testpmd> show port <TAB>
26
27       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
28       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
29       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap X
30       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc|cap all
31       ...
32
33
34.. note::
35
36   Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
37
38      testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
39               (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
40
41In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
42
43Help Functions
44--------------
45
46The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
47These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
48
49.. code-block:: console
50
51   testpmd> help
52
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.

61
62Command File Functions
63----------------------
64
65To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
66practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
67
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.
71
72.. code-block:: console
73
74   ./testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

111In all cases output from any included command will be displayed as standard output.
112Execution will continue until the end of the file is reached regardless of
113whether any errors occur.  The end user must examine the output to determine if
114any failures occurred.

260   testpmd> show port (port_id) (rxq|txq) (queue_id) desc (desc_id) status
261
262
263show config
264~~~~~~~~~~~
265
266Displays the configuration of the application.
267The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
268
269   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|txpkts|txtimes)
270
271The available information categories are:

285.. code-block:: console
286
287   testpmd> show config rxtx
288
289   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
290   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
291   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
292   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
293   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
294   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
295   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
296
297set fwd
298~~~~~~~
299
300Set the packet forwarding mode::
301
302   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
303                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap) (""|retry)
304
305``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
306
307The available information categories are:
308
309* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
310  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
311  This is the default mode.
312
313* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
314  Default application behavior is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
315  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
316  'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
317
318* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
319  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
320
321* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
322  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
323
324* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
325
326* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
327
328* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
329
330* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
331
332* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
333
334* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
335  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
336  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
337
338* ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
339
340  L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
341
342  L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
343
344  L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
345
346Example::
347
348   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
349
350   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
351
352
353show fwd
354~~~~~~~~
355
356When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.

616Configuration Functions
617-----------------------
618
619The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
620
621This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
622
623.. note::
624
625   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
626
627set default
628~~~~~~~~~~~
629
630Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
631
632   testpmd> set default
633
634set verbose
635~~~~~~~~~~~
636
637Set the debug verbosity level::
638
639   testpmd> set verbose (level)
640
641Available levels are as following:
642
643* ``0`` silent except for error.
644* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
645* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
646* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
647
648set log
649~~~~~~~
650
651Set the log level for a log type::
652
653	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
654
655Where:
656
657* ``type`` is the log name.
658
659* ``level`` is the log level.
660
661For example, to change the global log level::
662
663	testpmd> set log global (level)
664
665Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
666
667	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
668
669set nbport
670~~~~~~~~~~
671
672Set the number of ports used by the application:
673
674set nbport (num)
675
676This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
677
678set nbcore
679~~~~~~~~~~
680
681Set the number of cores used by the application::
682
683   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
684
685This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
686
687.. note::
688
689   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
690
691set coremask
692~~~~~~~~~~~~
693
694Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
695
696   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
697
698This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
699
700.. note::
701
702   The master lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
703
704set portmask
705~~~~~~~~~~~~
706
707Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
708
709   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
710
711This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
712
713set record-core-cycles
714~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
715
716Set the recording of CPU cycles::
717
718   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
719
720Where:
721
722* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
723
724* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
725
726This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
727
728set record-burst-stats
729~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
730
731Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
732
733   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
734
735Where:
736
737* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
738
739* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
740
741This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
742
743set burst
744~~~~~~~~~
745
746Set number of packets per burst::
747
748   testpmd> set burst (num)
749
750This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
751
752When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
753
754   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
755
756set txpkts
757~~~~~~~~~~
758
759Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
760
761   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
762
763Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
764
765set txtimes
766~~~~~~~~~~~
767
768Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
769the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
770timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
771application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
772to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
773and between the packets within the burst::
774
775   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
776
777where:
778
779* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
780  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
781  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
782  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
783  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
784  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
785  on timestamps is disabled (default).
786
787* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
788  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
789  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
790  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
791
792As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
793delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
794the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
795and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
796and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
797rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
798
799set txsplit
800~~~~~~~~~~~
801
802Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
803
804   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
805
806Where:
807
808* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
809
810* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
811  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
812  (see above).
813
814* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
815
816set corelist
817~~~~~~~~~~~~
818
819Set the list of forwarding cores::
820
821   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
822
823For example, to change the forwarding cores:
824
825.. code-block:: console
826
827   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
828   testpmd> show config fwd
829
830   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
831   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
832   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
833   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
834   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
835
836.. note::
837
838   The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
839
840set portlist
841~~~~~~~~~~~~
842
843Set the list of forwarding ports::
844
845   testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)
846
847For example, to change the port forwarding:
848
849.. code-block:: console
850
851   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
852   testpmd> show config fwd
853
854   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
855   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
856   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
857   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
858   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03
859   RX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:02

1188
1189Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1190engine::
1191
1192   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1193
1194If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1195tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
1196
1197If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1198header is handled as a packet payload).
1199
1200.. note::
1201
1202   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1203
1204Example:
1205
1206Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1207
1208   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1209
1210* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1211  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1212  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1213
1214* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1215   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1246
1247   testpmd> tunnel_tso set (tso_segsz) (port_id)
1248
1249tunnel tso show
1250~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1255
1256set port - gro
1257~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1258
1259Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1260
1261   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1262
1263If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1264packets received from the given port.
1265
1266If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1267GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1268
1269.. note::
1270
1271   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1272   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1273   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1274   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1275   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1276   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1277   transmitted to.
1278
1279show port - gro
1280~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1281
1282Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1283
1284   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1285
1286set gro flush
1287~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1288
1289Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1290
1291   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1292
1293When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1294packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1295can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1296from the reassembly tables.
1297
1298The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1299engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1300operations.
1301
1302By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1303from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1304of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1305
1306Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1307stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1308stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1309
1310set port - gso
1311~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1312
1313Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1314
1315   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1316
1317If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1318packets, transmitted on the given port.
1319
1320If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1321By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1322
1323.. note::
1324
1325   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1326   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1327   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1328   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1329   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1330   GSO-enabled ports.
1331
1332   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1333   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1334
1335   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1336
1337   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1338
1339   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1340
1341   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1342   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1343   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1344   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1345   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1346   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1347
1348set gso segsz
1349~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1350
1351Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the

2008Port Functions
2009--------------
2010
2011The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
2012
2013.. note::
2014
2015   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
2016
2017port attach
2018~~~~~~~~~~~
2019
2020Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2021
2022   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
2023
2024To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
2025Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
2026Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
2027
2028For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
2029
2030.. code-block:: console
2031
2032   # Check the status of the available devices.
2033   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2034
2035   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2036   ============================================
2037   <none>
2038
2039   Network devices using kernel driver
2040   ===================================
2041   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
2042
2043
2044   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
2045   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
2046
2047
2048   # Recheck the status of the devices.
2049   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2050   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2051   ============================================
2052   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
2053
2054To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2055
2056For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
2057
2058.. code-block:: console
2059
2060   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
2061   Attaching a new port...
2062   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2063   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2064   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2065   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2066   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
2067   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
2068   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2069   Done
2070
2071For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
2072
2073.. code-block:: console
2074
2075   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
2076   Attaching a new port...
2077   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
2078   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
2079   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2080   Done
2081
2082In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2083This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2084
2085For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
2086the mode and slave parameters must be given.
2087
2088.. code-block:: console
2089
2090   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
2091   Attaching a new port...
2092   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
2093   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
2094   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2095   Done
2096
2097
2098port detach
2099~~~~~~~~~~~
2100
2101Detach a specific port::
2102
2103   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
2104
2105Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
2106
2107For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
2108
2109.. code-block:: console
2110
2111   testpmd> port stop 0
2112   Stopping ports...
2113   Done
2114   testpmd> port close 0
2115   Closing ports...
2116   Done
2117
2118   testpmd> port detach 0
2119   Detaching a port...
2120   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2121   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2122   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2123   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2124   Done
2125
2126
2127For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2128
2129.. code-block:: console
2130
2131   testpmd> port stop 0
2132   Stopping ports...
2133   Done
2134   testpmd> port close 0
2135   Closing ports...
2136   Done
2137
2138   testpmd> port detach 0
2139   Detaching a port...
2140   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2141   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2142   Done
2143
2144To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2145Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2146Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2147
2148For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2149
2150.. code-block:: console
2151
2152   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2153
2154   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

2237~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2238
2239Set number of queues/descriptors for rxq, txq, rxd and txd::
2240
2241   testpmd> port config all (rxq|txq|rxd|txd) (value)
2242
2243This is equivalent to the ``--rxq``, ``--txq``, ``--rxd`` and ``--txd`` command-line options.
2244
2245port config - max-pkt-len
2246~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2247

2269
2270Packet dropping when no receive buffers available is off by default.
2271
2272The ``on`` option is equivalent to the ``--enable-drop-en`` command-line option.
2273
2274port config - RSS
2275~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2276
2277Set the RSS (Receive Side Scaling) mode on or off::

2280
2281RSS is on by default.
2282
2283The ``all`` option is equivalent to eth|vlan|ip|tcp|udp|sctp|ether|l2tpv3|esp|ah|pfcp.
2284
2285The ``default`` option enables all supported RSS types reported by device info.
2286

2435Device Functions
2436----------------
2437
2438The following sections show functions for device operations.
2439
2440device detach
2441~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2442
2443Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2444
2445   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2446
2447Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2448
2449For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2450
2451.. code-block:: console
2452
2453    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2454    Removing a device...
2455    Port 1 is now closed
2456    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2457    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2458    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2459    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2460    Now total ports is 1
2461
2462For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2463
2464.. code-block:: console
2465
2466    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2467    Removing a device...
2468    Port 0 is now closed
2469    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2470    Now total ports is 0
2471    Done
2472
2473In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2474This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2475
2476Link Bonding Functions
2477----------------------
2478
2479The Link Bonding functions make it possible to dynamically create and
2480manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.

2497Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
2498
2499   testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2500
2501For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2502
2503   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2504
2505
2506remove bonding slave
2507~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2508
2509Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
2510
2511   testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
2512
2513For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
2514

2554
2555   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy (port_id) (l2|l23|l34)
2556
2557For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2558
2559   testpmd> set bonding xmit_balance_policy 10 l34
2560
2561
2562set bonding mon_period
2563~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2564

2566
2567This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2568When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2569link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2570
2571   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
2572
2573For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::

2599
2600   testpmd> show bonding config (port id)
2601
2602For example,
2603to show the configuration a Link Bonding device (port 9) with 3 slave devices (1, 3, 4)
2604in balance mode with a transmission policy of layer 2+3::
2605
2606   testpmd> show bonding config 9
2607        Bonding mode: 2
2608        Balance Xmit Policy: BALANCE_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER23

3390.. _testpmd_flow_director:
3391
3392flow_director_filter
3393~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3394
3395The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
3396
3397Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
3398Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
3399
3400* Perfect match filters.
3401  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3402  The masked fields are for IP flow.
3403
3404* Signature filters.
3405  The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
3406
3407* Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
3408  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3409  The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
3410
3411* Perfect-tunnel match filters.
3412  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
3413  The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
3414
3415* Perfect-raw-flow-type match filters.
3416  The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and pre-loaded raw (template) packet.
3417  The masked fields are specified by input sets.
3418
3419The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
3420per flow type and the flexible payload.
3421
3422The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
3423are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
3424
3425Note that for raw flow type mode the source and destination fields in the
3426raw packet buffer need to be presented in a reversed order with respect
3427to the expected received packets.
3428For example: IP source and destination addresses or TCP/UDP/SCTP
3429source and destination ports
3430
3431Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.

3660features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3661not recommended.
3662
3663``flow`` syntax
3664~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3665
3666Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3667of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3668other commands, in particular:
3669
3670- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3671  token, not that of the entire command.
3672
3673- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3674  in the contextual help).
3675
3676The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3677their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3678following sections.
3679
3680- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3681
3682   flow validate {port_id}
3683       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3684       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3685       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3686
3687- Create a flow rule::
3688
3689   flow create {port_id}
3690       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3691       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3692       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3693
3694- Destroy specific flow rules::
3695
3696   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3697
3698- Destroy all flow rules::
3699
3700   flow flush {port_id}
3701
3702- Query an existing flow rule::
3703
3704   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3705
3706- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3707  identifiers::
3708
3709   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3710
3711- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3712
3713   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3714
3715- Dump internal representation information of all flows in hardware::
3716
3717   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
3718
3719- List and destroy aged flow rules::
3720
3721   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
3722
3723Validating flow rules
3724~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3725
3726``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3727underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3728bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3729
3730   flow validate {port_id}
3731      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3732      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3733      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3734
3735If successful, it will show::
3736
3737   Flow rule validated
3738
3739Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3740
3741   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3742
3743This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3744described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3745
3746Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3747index 6 is supported::
3748
3749   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3750      actions queue index 6 / end
3751   Flow rule validated
3752   testpmd>
3753
3754Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3755
3756   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3757      actions drop / end
3758   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3759   testpmd>
3760
3761Creating flow rules
3762~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3763
3764``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3765to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3766
3767   flow create {port_id}
3768      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3769      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3770      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3771
3772If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3773
3774   Flow rule #[...] created
3775
3776Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3777
3778   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3779
3780Parameters describe in the following order:
3781
3782- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3783- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3784  *end* pattern item.
3785- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3786  action.
3787
3788These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3789underlying functions.
3790
3791The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3792
3793   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3794
3795Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3796one.
3797
3798**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3799
3800Attributes
3801^^^^^^^^^^
3802
3803These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3804specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3805
3806- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3807- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3808- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3809- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3810- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3811
3812Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3813value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3814
3815   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3816
3817Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3818
3819While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3820simultaneously.
3821
3822Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3823
3824   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3825
3826Matching pattern
3827^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3828
3829A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3830items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3831
3832Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3833rte_flow_item_type``).
3834
3835The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3836below::
3837
3838   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3839
3840Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3841layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3842unlikely to match any packet::
3843
3844   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3845
3846More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3847documentation.
3848
3849Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3850``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3851
3852   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3853      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3854
3855This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3856
3857In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3858``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3859in a similar fashion.
3860
3861The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3862and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3863accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3864
3865- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3866- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3867- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3868- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3869- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3870
3871These yield identical results::
3872
3873   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3874
3875::
3876
3877   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3878
3879::
3880
3881   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3882
3883::
3884
3885   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3886
3887::
3888
3889   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3890
3891Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3892
3893   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3894
3895Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3896
3897   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3898      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3899
3900Properties can be modified multiple times::
3901
3902   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3903
3904::
3905
3906   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

4110
4111Actions list
4112^^^^^^^^^^^^
4113
4114A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
4115`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
4116terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
4117
4118Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
4119rte_flow_action_type``).
4120
4121Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
4122
4123   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4124      actions drop / end
4125
4126Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
4127there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
4128queue index.
4129
4130This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
4131
4132   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4133      actions queue index 6 / end
4134
4135While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
4136
4137   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4138      actions queue / end
4139
4140As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
4141rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
4142
4143   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
4144
4145::
4146
4147   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
4148
4149All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
4150action of a given type is taken into account::
4151
4152   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
4153
4154::
4155
4156   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
4157
4158::
4159
4160   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
4161
4162Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
4163actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
4164
4165   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
4166
4167::
4168
4169   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
4170
4171::
4172
4173   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
4174
4175Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.
4176

4378Destroying flow rules
4379~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4380
4381``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4382by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4383times as necessary::
4384
4385   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4386
4387If successful, it will show::
4388
4389   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4390
4391It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4392message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4393
4394   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4395
4396``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4397arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4398
4399   flow flush {port_id}
4400
4401Any errors are reported as above.
4402
4403Creating several rules and destroying them::
4404
4405   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4406      actions queue index 2 / end
4407   Flow rule #0 created
4408   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4409      actions queue index 3 / end
4410   Flow rule #1 created
4411   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4412   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4413   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4414   testpmd>
4415
4416The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4417
4418   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4419      actions queue index 2 / end
4420   Flow rule #0 created
4421   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4422      actions queue index 3 / end
4423   Flow rule #1 created
4424   testpmd> flow flush 0
4425   testpmd>
4426
4427Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4428
4429   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4430      actions queue index 2 / end
4431   Flow rule #0 created
4432   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4433      actions queue index 3 / end
4434   Flow rule #1 created
4435   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4436   testpmd>
4437   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4438   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4439   testpmd>
4440
4441Querying flow rules
4442~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4443
4444``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4445ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4446command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4447
4448   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4449
4450If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4451or the following message::
4452
4453   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4454
4455Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4456error occurred::
4457
4458   Flow rule #[...] not found
4459
4460::
4461
4462   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4463
4464Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4465number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4466output has the following format::
4467
4468   count:
4469    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4470    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4471    hits: [...] # number of packets
4472    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4473
4474Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4475
4476   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4477      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4478   Flow rule #4 created
4479   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4480   count:
4481    hits_set: 1
4482    bytes_set: 0
4483    hits: 386446
4484    bytes: 0
4485   testpmd>
4486
4487Listing flow rules
4488~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4489
4490``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4491filtered by group identifiers::
4492
4493   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4494
4495This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4496exist::
4497
4498   Invalid port [...]
4499
4500Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4501flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4502configured on the device::
4503
4504   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4505   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4506
4507``Attr`` column flags:
4508
4509- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4510- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4511
4512Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4513
4514   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4515      actions queue index 6 / end
4516   Flow rule #0 created
4517   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4518      actions queue index 2 / end
4519   Flow rule #1 created
4520   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4521      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4522   Flow rule #2 created
4523   testpmd> flow list 0
4524   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4525   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4526   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4527   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4528   testpmd>
4529
4530Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4531
4532   testpmd> flow list 1
4533   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4534   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4535   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4536   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4537   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4538   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4539   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4540   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4541   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4542   testpmd>
4543
4544Output can be limited to specific groups::
4545
4546   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4547   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4548   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4549   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4550   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4551   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4552   testpmd>
4553
4554Toggling isolated mode
4555~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4556
4557``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4558must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4559is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4560resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4561
4562 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4563
4564If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4565
4566 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4567    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4568
4569Or::
4570
4571 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4572    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4573
4574Otherwise, in case of error::
4575
4576   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4577
4578Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4579ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4580first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4581
4582Enabling isolated mode::
4583
4584 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4585 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4586 testpmd>
4587
4588Disabling isolated mode::
4589
4590 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4591 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4592 testpmd>
4593
4594Dumping HW internal information
4595~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4596
4597``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4598all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4599
4600   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4601
4602If successful, it will show::
4603
4604   Flow dump finished
4605
4606Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4607
4608   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4609
4610Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4611~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4612
4613``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4614and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4615
4616   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4617
4618Listing current aged flow rules::
4619
4620   testpmd> flow aged 0
4621   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4622   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4623      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4624   Flow rule #0 created
4625   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4626      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4627   Flow rule #1 created
4628   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4629      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4630   Flow rule #2 created
4631   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4632      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4633   Flow rule #3 created
4634
4635
4636Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4637information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4638those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4639will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4640
4641   testpmd> flow aged 0
4642   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4643   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4644   2       0       0       i--
4645   3       0       0       i--
4646   1       0       0       i--
4647   0       0       0       i--
4648
4649If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.
4650
4651   testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
4652   Port 0 total aged flows: 4
4653   ID      Group   Prio    Attr
4654   2       0       0       i--
4655   3       0       0       i--
4656   1       0       0       i--
4657   0       0       0       i--
4658
4659   Flow rule #2 destroyed
4660   Flow rule #3 destroyed
4661   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4662   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4663   4 flows be destroyed
4664   testpmd> flow aged 0
4665   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4666
4667
4668Sample QinQ flow rules
4669~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4670
4671Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4672
4673   testpmd> port stop 0
4674   testpmd> vlan set qinq_strip on 0
4675
4676The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4677
4678To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4679
4680   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
4681   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
4682   testpmd> port start 0
4683
4684Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4685
4686::
4687
4688   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4689       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end

5033BPF Functions
5034--------------
5035
5036The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
5037
5038bpf-load
5039~~~~~~~~
5040
5041Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
5042
5043   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
5044
5045The available load-flags are:
5046
5047* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
5048
5049* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
5050
5051* ``-``: none.
5052
5053.. note::
5054
5055   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
5056
5057For example:
5058
5059.. code-block:: console
5060
5061   cd examples/bpf
5062   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
5063
5064Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
5065
5066.. code-block:: console
5067
5068   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5069
5070To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
5071
5072.. code-block:: console
5073
5074   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
5075
5076bpf-unload
5077~~~~~~~~~~
5078
5079Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
5080
5081   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
5082
5083For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
5084
5085.. code-block:: console
5086
5087   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
5088
