33 Testpmd Runtime Functions
34 =========================
36 Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
37 it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
38 configure the application, display statistics (including the extended NIC
39 statistics aka xstats) , set the Flow Director and other tasks::
43 The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
44 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
45 as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
47 There is also support for tab completion.
48 If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
50 .. code-block:: console
52 testpmd> show port <TAB>
54 info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc X
55 info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc all
56 stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc X
57 stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc all
63 Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
65 testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
66 (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
68 In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
73 The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
74 These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
76 .. code-block:: console
80 help control : Start and stop forwarding.
81 help display : Displaying port, stats and config information.
82 help config : Configuration information.
83 help ports : Configuring ports.
84 help registers : Reading and setting port registers.
85 help filters : Filters configuration help.
86 help all : All of the above sections.
95 Start packet forwarding with current configuration::
102 Start packet forwarding with current configuration after sending specified number of bursts of packets::
104 testpmd> start tx_first (""|burst_num)
106 The default burst number is 1 when ``burst_num`` not presented.
111 Stop packet forwarding, and display accumulated statistics::
126 The functions in the following sections are used to display information about the
127 testpmd configuration or the NIC status.
132 Display information for a given port or all ports::
134 testpmd> show port (info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc) (port_id|all)
136 The available information categories are:
138 * ``info``: General port information such as MAC address.
140 * ``stats``: RX/TX statistics.
142 * ``xstats``: RX/TX extended NIC statistics.
144 * ``fdir``: Flow Director information and statistics.
146 * ``stat_qmap``: Queue statistics mapping.
148 * ``dcb_tc``: DCB information such as TC mapping.
152 .. code-block:: console
154 testpmd> show port info 0
156 ********************* Infos for port 0 *********************
158 MAC address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
160 memory allocation on the socket: 0
162 Link speed: 40000 Mbps
163 Link duplex: full-duplex
164 Promiscuous mode: enabled
165 Allmulticast mode: disabled
166 Maximum number of MAC addresses: 64
167 Maximum number of MAC addresses of hash filtering: 0
172 Redirection table size: 512
173 Supported flow types:
193 Display the rss redirection table entry indicated by masks on port X::
195 testpmd> show port (port_id) rss reta (size) (mask0, mask1...)
197 size is used to indicate the hardware supported reta size
202 Display the RSS hash functions and RSS hash key of a port::
204 testpmd> show port (port_id) rss-hash [key]
209 Clear the port statistics for a given port or for all ports::
211 testpmd> clear port (info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap) (port_id|all)
215 testpmd> clear port stats all
220 Display information for a given port's RX/TX queue::
222 testpmd> show (rxq|txq) info (port_id) (queue_id)
227 Displays the configuration of the application.
228 The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
230 testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|txpkts)
232 The available information categories are:
234 * ``rxtx``: RX/TX configuration items.
236 * ``cores``: List of forwarding cores.
238 * ``fwd``: Packet forwarding configuration.
240 * ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
244 .. code-block:: console
246 testpmd> show config rxtx
248 io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
249 nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
250 RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
251 RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
252 TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
253 TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
254 TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
259 Set the packet forwarding mode::
261 testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
262 rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho) (""|retry)
264 ``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
266 The available information categories are:
268 * ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
269 This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
270 This is the default mode.
272 * ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
273 Default application behaviour is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
274 address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
275 'eth-peer-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
277 * ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
278 Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
280 * ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
281 Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
283 * ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
285 * ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
287 * ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
289 * ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for IMCP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
291 * ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX. Requires ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y``.
293 Note: TX timestamping is only available in the "Full Featured" TX path. To force ``testpmd`` into this mode set ``--txqflags=0``.
297 testpmd> set fwd rxonly
299 Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
305 Display an RX descriptor for a port RX queue::
307 testpmd> read rxd (port_id) (queue_id) (rxd_id)
311 testpmd> read rxd 0 0 4
312 0x0000000B - 0x001D0180 / 0x0000000B - 0x001D0180
317 Display a TX descriptor for a port TX queue::
319 testpmd> read txd (port_id) (queue_id) (txd_id)
323 testpmd> read txd 0 0 4
324 0x00000001 - 0x24C3C440 / 0x000F0000 - 0x2330003C
327 Configuration Functions
328 -----------------------
330 The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
332 This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
336 Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
341 Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
348 Set the debug verbosity level::
350 testpmd> set verbose (level)
352 Currently the only available levels are 0 (silent except for error) and 1 (fully verbose).
357 Set the number of ports used by the application:
361 This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
366 Set the number of cores used by the application::
368 testpmd> set nbcore (num)
370 This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
374 The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
379 Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
381 testpmd> set coremask (mask)
383 This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
387 The master lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
392 Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
394 testpmd> set portmask (mask)
396 This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
401 Set number of packets per burst::
403 testpmd> set burst (num)
405 This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
407 When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
409 testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
414 Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
416 testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
418 Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
423 Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
425 testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
429 * ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
431 * ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
432 and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
435 * ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
440 Set the list of forwarding cores::
442 testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
444 For example, to change the forwarding cores:
446 .. code-block:: console
448 testpmd> set corelist 3,1
449 testpmd> show config fwd
451 io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
452 Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
453 RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
454 Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
455 RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
459 The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
464 Set the list of forwarding ports::
466 testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)
468 For example, to change the port forwarding:
470 .. code-block:: console
472 testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
473 testpmd> show config fwd
475 io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
476 Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
477 RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
478 RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
479 RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03
480 RX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:02
485 Enable/disable tx loopback::
487 testpmd> set tx loopback (port_id) (on|off)
492 set drop enable bit for all queues::
494 testpmd> set all queues drop (port_id) (on|off)
496 set split drop enable (for VF)
497 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
499 set split drop enable bit for VF from PF::
501 testpmd> set vf split drop (port_id) (vf_id) (on|off)
503 set mac antispoof (for VF)
504 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
506 Set mac antispoof for a VF from the PF::

562 Set the inner or outer VLAN TPID for packet filtering on a port::
564 testpmd> vlan set (inner|outer) tpid (value) (port_id)
568 TPID value must be a 16-bit number (value <= 65536).
573 Add a VLAN ID, or all identifiers, to the set of VLAN identifiers filtered by port ID::
575 testpmd> rx_vlan add (vlan_id|all) (port_id)
579 VLAN filter must be set on that port. VLAN ID < 4096.
580 Depending on the NIC used, number of vlan_ids may be limited to the maximum entries
581 in VFTA table. This is important if enabling all vlan_ids.
586 Remove a VLAN ID, or all identifiers, from the set of VLAN identifiers filtered by port ID::
588 testpmd> rx_vlan rm (vlan_id|all) (port_id)
593 Add a VLAN ID, to the set of VLAN identifiers filtered for VF(s) for port ID::

600 Remove a VLAN ID, from the set of VLAN identifiers filtered for VF(s) for port ID::
602 testpmd> rx_vlan rm (vlan_id) port (port_id) vf (vf_mask)
607 Add a tunnel filter on a port::
609 testpmd> tunnel_filter add (port_id) (outer_mac) (inner_mac) (ip_addr) \
610 (inner_vlan) (vxlan|nvgre|ipingre) (imac-ivlan|imac-ivlan-tenid|\
611 imac-tenid|imac|omac-imac-tenid|oip|iip) (tenant_id) (queue_id)
613 The available information categories are:
615 * ``vxlan``: Set tunnel type as VXLAN.
617 * ``nvgre``: Set tunnel type as NVGRE.
619 * ``ipingre``: Set tunnel type as IP-in-GRE.
621 * ``imac-ivlan``: Set filter type as Inner MAC and VLAN.
623 * ``imac-ivlan-tenid``: Set filter type as Inner MAC, VLAN and tenant ID.
625 * ``imac-tenid``: Set filter type as Inner MAC and tenant ID.
627 * ``imac``: Set filter type as Inner MAC.
629 * ``omac-imac-tenid``: Set filter type as Outer MAC, Inner MAC and tenant ID.
631 * ``oip``: Set filter type as Outer IP.
633 * ``iip``: Set filter type as Inner IP.
637 testpmd> tunnel_filter add 0 68:05:CA:28:09:82 00:00:00:00:00:00 \
638 192.168.2.2 0 ipingre oip 1 1
640 Set an IP-in-GRE tunnel on port 0, and the filter type is Outer IP.
645 Remove a tunnel filter on a port::
647 testpmd> tunnel_filter rm (port_id) (outer_mac) (inner_mac) (ip_addr) \
648 (inner_vlan) (vxlan|nvgre|ipingre) (imac-ivlan|imac-ivlan-tenid|\
649 imac-tenid|imac|omac-imac-tenid|oip|iip) (tenant_id) (queue_id)
654 Add an UDP port for VXLAN packet filter on a port::
656 testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add (udp_port) (port_id)
661 Remove an UDP port for VXLAN packet filter on a port::
663 testpmd> rx_vxlan_port rm (udp_port) (port_id)
668 Set hardware insertion of VLAN IDs in packets sent on a port::
670 testpmd> tx_vlan set (port_id) vlan_id[, vlan_id_outer]
672 For example, set a single VLAN ID (5) insertion on port 0::
676 Or, set double VLAN ID (inner: 2, outer: 3) insertion on port 1::
684 Set port based hardware insertion of VLAN ID in packets sent on a port::
686 testpmd> tx_vlan set pvid (port_id) (vlan_id) (on|off)
691 Disable hardware insertion of a VLAN header in packets sent on a port::
693 testpmd> tx_vlan reset (port_id)
698 Select hardware or software calculation of the checksum when
699 transmitting a packet using the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
701 testpmd> csum set (ip|udp|tcp|sctp|outer-ip) (hw|sw) (port_id)
705 * ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` always relate to the inner layer.
707 * ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
708 as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (vxlan, gre and ipip are
709 supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
713 Check the NIC Datasheet for hardware limits.
718 Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
721 testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
723 If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
724 tunnel headers (vxlan, gre, ipip).
726 If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
727 header is handled as a packet payload).
731 The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
735 Consider a packet in packet like the following::
737 eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
739 * If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
740 command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
741 ``outer-ip parameter`` relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out``).
743 * If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
744 command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.
749 Display tx checksum offload configuration::
751 testpmd> csum show (port_id)
756 Enable TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) in the ``csum`` forwarding engine::
758 testpmd> tso set (segsize) (port_id)
762 Check the NIC datasheet for hardware limits.
767 Display the status of TCP Segmentation Offload::
769 testpmd> tso show (port_id)
774 Add an alternative MAC address to a port::
776 testpmd> mac_addr add (port_id) (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)
781 Remove a MAC address from a port::
783 testpmd> mac_addr remove (port_id) (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)
785 mac_addr add (for VF)
786 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
788 Add an alternative MAC address for a VF to a port::
790 testpmd> mac_add add port (port_id) vf (vf_id) (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)
792 mac_addr set (for VF)
793 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
795 Set the MAC address for a VF from the PF::
797 testpmd> set vf mac addr (port_id) (vf_id) (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)
802 Set the unicast hash filter(s) on/off for a port::
804 testpmd> set port (port_id) uta (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX|all) (on|off)
809 Set the promiscuous mode on for a port or for all ports.
810 In promiscuous mode packets are not dropped if they aren't for the specified MAC address::
812 testpmd> set promisc (port_id|all) (on|off)
817 Set the allmulti mode for a port or for all ports::
819 testpmd> set allmulti (port_id|all) (on|off)
821 Same as the ifconfig (8) option. Controls how multicast packets are handled.
826 Set the link flow control parameter on a port::
828 testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
829 (pause_time) (send_xon) mac_ctrl_frame_fwd (on|off) \
830 autoneg (on|off) (port_id)
834 * ``high_water`` (integer): High threshold value to trigger XOFF.
836 * ``low_water`` (integer): Low threshold value to trigger XON.
838 * ``pause_time`` (integer): Pause quota in the Pause frame.
840 * ``send_xon`` (0/1): Send XON frame.
842 * ``mac_ctrl_frame_fwd``: Enable receiving MAC control frames.

852 (pause_time) (priority) (port_id)
856 * ``high_water`` (integer): High threshold value.
858 * ``low_water`` (integer): Low threshold value.
860 * ``pause_time`` (integer): Pause quota in the Pause frame.
862 * ``priority`` (0-7): VLAN User Priority.
867 Set statistics mapping (qmapping 0..15) for RX/TX queue on port::
869 testpmd> set stat_qmap (tx|rx) (port_id) (queue_id) (qmapping)
871 For example, to set rx queue 2 on port 0 to mapping 5::
873 testpmd>set stat_qmap rx 0 2 5
875 set port - rx/tx (for VF)
876 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
878 Set VF receive/transmit from a port::
880 testpmd> set port (port_id) vf (vf_id) (rx|tx) (on|off)
882 set port - mac address filter (for VF)
883 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
885 Add/Remove unicast or multicast MAC addr filter for a VF::
887 testpmd> set port (port_id) vf (vf_id) (mac_addr) \
888 (exact-mac|exact-mac-vlan|hashmac|hashmac-vlan) (on|off)
890 set port - rx mode(for VF)
891 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
893 Set the VF receive mode of a port::
895 testpmd> set port (port_id) vf (vf_id) \

1042 The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
1046 Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
1051 Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
1053 testpmd> port attach (identifier)
1055 To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
1056 Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
1057 Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
1059 For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
1061 .. code-block:: console
1063 # Check the status of the available devices.
1064 ./tools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
1066 Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
1067 ============================================
1070 Network devices using kernel driver
1071 ===================================
1072 0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
1075 # Bind the device to igb_uio.
1076 sudo ./tools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
1079 # Recheck the status of the devices.
1080 ./tools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

1082 ============================================
1083 0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
1085 To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
1087 For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
1089 .. code-block:: console
1091 testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
1092 Attaching a new port...
1093 EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1094 EAL: probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1095 EAL: PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1096 EAL: PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1097 PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
1098 PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
1099 Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1102 For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
1104 .. code-block:: console
1106 testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
1107 Attaching a new port...
1108 PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
1109 PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
1110 Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1113 In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
1114 This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
1116 For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
1117 the mode and slave parameters must be given.
1119 .. code-block:: console
1121 testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
1122 Attaching a new port...
1123 EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
1124 EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
1125 Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
1132 Detach a specific port::
1134 testpmd> port detach (port_id)
1136 Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
1138 For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
1140 .. code-block:: console
1142 testpmd> port stop 0
1145 testpmd> port close 0
1149 testpmd> port detach 0
1151 EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
1152 EAL: remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
1153 EAL: PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
1154 EAL: PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
1158 For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
1160 .. code-block:: console
1162 testpmd> port stop 0
1165 testpmd> port close 0
1169 testpmd> port detach 0
1171 PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
1172 Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
1175 To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
1176 Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
1177 Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
1179 For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
1181 .. code-block:: console
1183 sudo ./tools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
1185 ./tools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

1427 Link Bonding Functions
1428 ----------------------
1430 The Link Bonding functions make it possible to dynamically create and
1431 manage link bonding devices from within testpmd interactive prompt.
1433 create bonded device
1434 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1436 Create a new bonding device::
1438 testpmd> create bonded device (mode) (socket)
1440 For example, to create a bonded device in mode 1 on socket 0::
1442 testpmd> create bonded device 1 0
1443 created new bonded device (port X)
1448 Adds Ethernet device to a Link Bonding device::
1450 testpmd> add bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1452 For example, to add Ethernet device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1454 testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
1457 remove bonding slave
1458 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1460 Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::
1462 testpmd> remove bonding slave (slave id) (port id)
1464 For example, to remove Ethernet slave device (port 6) to a Link Bonding device (port 10)::
1466 testpmd> remove bonding slave 6 10
1471 Set the Link Bonding mode of a Link Bonding device::
1473 testpmd> set bonding mode (value) (port id)
1475 For example, to set the bonding mode of a Link Bonding device (port 10) to broadcast (mode 3)::
1477 testpmd> set bonding mode 3 10
1482 Set an Ethernet slave device as the primary device on a Link Bonding device::
1484 testpmd> set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
1486 For example, to set the Ethernet slave device (port 6) as the primary port of a Link Bonding device (port 10)::

1513 set bonding mon_period
1514 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1516 Set the link status monitoring polling period in milliseconds for a bonding device.
1518 This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
1519 When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
1520 link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
1522 testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
1524 For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::
1526 testpmd> set bonding mon_period 5 150
1532 Show the current configuration of a Link Bonding device::
1534 testpmd> show bonding config (port id)
1537 to show the configuration a Link Bonding device (port 9) with 3 slave devices (1, 3, 4)
1538 in balance mode with a transmission policy of layer 2+3::
1540 testpmd> show bonding config 9
1542 Balance Xmit Policy: BALANCE_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER23
1544 Active Slaves (3): [1 3 4]
1551 The Register Functions can be used to read from and write to registers on the network card referenced by a port number.
1552 This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
1553 Reference should be made to the appropriate datasheet for the network card for details on the register addresses
1554 and fields that can be accessed.
1559 Display the value of a port register::
1561 testpmd> read reg (port_id) (address)

1566 port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x4A060029 (1241907241)
1571 Display a port register bit field::
1573 testpmd> read regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y)
1575 For example, reading the lowest two bits from the register in the example above::
1577 testpmd> read regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1
1578 port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: bits[0, 1]=0x1 (1)
1583 Display a single port register bit::
1585 testpmd> read regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x)
1587 For example, reading the lowest bit from the register in the example above::
1589 testpmd> read regbit 0 0xEE00 0

1595 Set the value of a port register::
1597 testpmd> write reg (port_id) (address) (value)
1599 For example, to clear a register::
1601 testpmd> write reg 0 0xEE00 0x0
1602 port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000000 (0)
1607 Set bit field of a port register::
1609 testpmd> write regfield (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (bit_y) (value)
1611 For example, writing to the register cleared in the example above::
1613 testpmd> write regfield 0 0xEE00 0 1 2
1614 port 0 PCI register at offset 0xEE00: 0x00000002 (2)
1619 Set single bit value of a port register::
1621 testpmd> write regbit (port_id) (address) (bit_x) (value)

1729 * ``mask_value``: Participates in the match or not by bit for field above, 1b means participate
1731 * ``tcp_flags_value``: TCP control bits. The non-zero value is invalid, when the protocol_value is not set to 0x06 (TCP).
1733 * ``prio_value``: The priority of this filter.
1735 * ``queue_id``: The receive queue associated with this 5-tuple filter.
1737 Example, to add/remove an 5tuple filter rule::
1739 testpmd> 5tuple_filter 0 add dst_ip 2.2.2.5 src_ip 2.2.2.4 \
1740 dst_port 64 src_port 32 protocol 0x06 mask 0x1F \
1741 flags 0x0 priority 3 queue 3
1743 testpmd> 5tuple_filter 0 del dst_ip 2.2.2.5 src_ip 2.2.2.4 \
1744 dst_port 64 src_port 32 protocol 0x06 mask 0x1F \
1745 flags 0x0 priority 3 queue 3
1750 Using the SYN filter, TCP packets whose *SYN* flag is set can be forwarded to a separate queue::
1752 syn_filter (port_id) (add|del) priority (high|low) queue (queue_id)
1754 The available information parameters are:
1756 * ``port_id``: The port which the SYN filter assigned on.
1758 * ``high``: This SYN filter has higher priority than other filters.
1760 * ``low``: This SYN filter has lower priority than other filters.
1762 * ``queue_id``: The receive queue associated with this SYN filter
1766 testpmd> syn_filter 0 add priority high queue 3
1771 With flex filter, packets can be recognized by any arbitrary pattern within the first 128 bytes of the packet
1772 and routed into one of the receive queues::
1774 flex_filter (port_id) (add|del) len (len_value) bytes (bytes_value) \
1775 mask (mask_value) priority (prio_value) queue (queue_id)
1777 The available information parameters are:
1779 * ``port_id``: The port which the Flex filter is assigned on.
1781 * ``len_value``: Filter length in bytes, no greater than 128.
1783 * ``bytes_value``: A string in hexadecimal, means the value the flex filter needs to match.
1785 * ``mask_value``: A string in hexadecimal, bit 1 means corresponding byte participates in the match.
1787 * ``prio_value``: The priority of this filter.
1789 * ``queue_id``: The receive queue associated with this Flex filter.
1793 testpmd> flex_filter 0 add len 16 bytes 0x00000000000000000000000008060000 \
1794 mask 000C priority 3 queue 3
1796 testpmd> flex_filter 0 del len 16 bytes 0x00000000000000000000000008060000 \
1797 mask 000C priority 3 queue 3
1800 .. _testpmd_flow_director:
1802 flow_director_filter
1803 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1805 The Flow Director works in receive mode to identify specific flows or sets of flows and route them to specific queues.
1807 Four types of filtering are supported which are referred to as Perfect Match, Signature, Perfect-mac-vlan and
1808 Perfect-tunnel filters, the match mode is set by the ``--pkt-filter-mode`` command-line parameter:
1810 * Perfect match filters.
1811 The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
1812 The masked fields are for IP flow.
1814 * Signature filters.
1815 The hardware checks a match between a hash-based signature of the masked fields of the received packet.
1817 * Perfect-mac-vlan match filters.
1818 The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
1819 The masked fields are for MAC VLAN flow.
1821 * Perfect-tunnel match filters.
1822 The hardware checks a match between the masked fields of the received packets and the programmed filters.
1823 The masked fields are for tunnel flow.
1825 The Flow Director filters can match the different fields for different type of packet: flow type, specific input set
1826 per flow type and the flexible payload.
1828 The Flow Director can also mask out parts of all of these fields so that filters
1829 are only applied to certain fields or parts of the fields.
1831 Different NICs may have different capabilities, command show port fdir (port_id) can be used to acquire the information.
