== Page moved ==
  
The vpp network stack comes equipped with a set of commands that are useful for debugging.
+
This page has [https://fd.io/docs/vpp/master/cli-reference/gettingstarted/index.html moved to the versioned documentation]
 
+
The easiest way to access the CLI (with proper permissions) is to use the <tt>vppctl</tt> command:
+
 
+
<pre>
+
sudo vppctl <cli command>
+
</pre>
+
 
+
The CLI parser matches static keyword strings, eventually invoking an action function. Unambiguous partial keyword matching always occurs. The action functions consume input until satisfied or until they fail. This model makes for easy coding, but does not guarantee useful "help" output. It's up to the CLI command writer to add useful help strings.
+
 
+
You can find the source code of CLI commands by searching for instances of the <code>VLIB_CLI_COMMAND</code> macro in the code source files.
+
 
+
Please help maintain and improve this document to make and keep these commands clear and useful!
+
 
+
 
+
=== Debug and Telnet CLI ===
+
 
+
The debug CLI is enabled with the <code>unix interactive</code> parameter or startup configuration option. This causes VPP to start without daemonizing and presents a command line interface on the terminal where it is run.
+
 
+
The Telnet CLI is enabled with the <code>cli-listen localhost:5002</code> option which will cause VPP to listen for TCP connections on the localhost address port 5002. A Telnet client can then connect to this port (for example, <code>telnet localhost 5002</code>) and will receive a command line prompt.
+
 
+
This configuration will enable both mechanisms:
+
 
+
<pre>
+
unix {
+
  interactive
+
  cli-listen localhost:5002
+
}
+
</pre>
+
 
+
The debug CLI can operate in line mode, which may be useful when running inside an IDE like Emacs. This is enabled with the option <code>unix cli-line-mode</code>. Several other options exist that alter how this CLI works, see [[VPP/Command-line_Arguments]] for details.
+
 
+
The CLI starts with a banner graphic (which can be disabled) and a prompt. The prompt will typically read "<code>vpp</code>" for a release version of VPP and "<code>DBGvpp#</code> for a development version with debugging enabled, for example:
+
 
+
<span style="color:red">    _______    _    </span>  _  _____  ___
+
<span style="color:red"> __/ __/ _ \  (_)__  </span>  | | / / _ \/ _ \
+
<span style="color:red"> _/ _// // / / / _ \ </span>  | |/ / ___/ ___/
+
<span style="color:red"> /_/ /____(_)_/\___/ </span>  |___/_/  /_/   
+
+
vpp#
+
 
+
versus:
+
 
+
<span style="color:red">    _______    _    </span>  _  _____  ___
+
<span style="color:red"> __/ __/ _ \  (_)__  </span>  | | / / _ \/ _ \
+
<span style="color:red"> _/ _// // / / / _ \ </span>  | |/ / ___/ ___/
+
<span style="color:red"> /_/ /____(_)_/\___/ </span>  |___/_/  /_/   
+
+
DBGvpp#
+
 
+
This prompt can be configured with the <code>unix cli-prompt</code> setting and the banner disabled with <code>unix cli-no-banner</code>.
+
 
+
==== CLI features ====
+
 
+
The CLI has several editing features that make it easy to use.
+
 
+
* Cursor keys left/right will move the cursor within a command line; typing will insert at the cursor; erase will erase at the cursor.
+
* Ctrl-left/right will search for the start of the next word to the left or right.
+
* Home/end will jump the cursor to the start and end of the line.
+
* Cursor keys up/down and <code>^P</code>/<code>^N</code> iterate through the command history buffer. Lines from the history buffer may be edited. New commands are added to the end of the buffer when executed; though duplicates of the previous command are not added.
+
* <code>^U</code> erases the line contents from the left of the cursor to the start. <code>^K</code> erases the contents from the cursor to the end.
+
* <code>^S</code>/<code>^R</code> will search the command history forwards or in reverse for a command; start typing for matches to auto complete.
+
* <code>^L</code> will clear the screen (if supported by the terminal) and repaint the prompt and any current line. The cursor position is also retained.
+
* The CLI can be closed with the <code>quit</code> command. Alternatively, <code>^D</code> on an empty input line will also close the session.
+
* Closing the debug session will also shutdown VPP.
+
 
+
Output that exceeds the length of a terminal page will be buffered, up to a limit.
+
 
+
* Space or page-down displays the next page.
+
* Enter or down-arrow displays the next line.
+
* Page-up goes back a page.
+
* Up-arrow goes up a line.
+
* Home/end jump to the start/end of the buffered output.
+
* The key <code>q</code> quits the pager. Space and enter will also quit the pager if the end of the buffer has been reached.
+
 
+
=== Interface Commands ===
+
 
+
==== show interface ====
+
 
+
To display interface names and rx/tx packet/byte and drop counters, use "show interface":
+
 
+
vpp# show interface
+
              Name                    State          Counter          Count   
+
GigabitEthernet2/0/0                  up      rx packets                  1801
+
                                                rx bytes                  179560
+
                                                tx packets                  343
+
                                                tx bytes                  88050
+
                                                drops                      1459
+
GigabitEthernet2/2/0                  up      rx packets                  7875
+
                                                rx bytes                  740694
+
                                                tx packets                  228
+
                                                tx bytes                  78888
+
                                                drops                      7647
+
GigabitEthernet2/3/0                  down     
+
GigabitEthernet2/4/0                  down     
+
local0                                down     
+
pg/stream-0                          down     
+
pg/stream-1                          down     
+
pg/stream-2                          down     
+
pg/stream-3                          down     
+
tuntap-0                              up
+
 
+
On x86_64 hardware, interface names derive directly from PCI bus, id, and function. Local0 and the packet generator streams are "special" and should not be configured directly. When running in "punt/inject mode" tuntap-0 is "special" and should not be configured directly.
+
 
+
==== show interface address ====
+
 
+
To display interface addresses and up/down state:
+
 
+
<pre>
+
#vpp show int address
+
GigabitEthernet0/8/0 (up):
+
  172.28.128.5/24
+
local0 (dn):
+
pg/stream-0 (dn):
+
pg/stream-1 (dn):
+
pg/stream-2 (dn):
+
pg/stream-3 (dn):
+
</pre>
+
 
+
==== show hardware ====
+
 
+
To display hardware status and hardware-dependent counters, use "show hardware"
+
 
+
vpp# show hardware
+
              Name                Link  Hardware
+
GigabitEthernet2/0/0              up  GigabitEthernet2/0/0
+
  Ethernet address 00:50:56:b7:7c:83
+
  Intel 82545em_copper
+
    link up, media 1000T full-duplex, master,
+
    0 unprocessed, 384 total buffers on rx queue 0 ring
+
    237 buffers in driver rx cache
+
    rx total packets                                    1816
+
    rx total bytes                                    181084
+
    rx good packets                                    1816
+
    rx good bytes                                    181084
+
    rx 65 127 byte packets                              1586
+
    rx 256 511 byte packets                              230
+
    tx total packets                                    346
+
    tx total bytes                                    90224
+
    tx good packets                                      346
+
    tx good bytes                                      88840
+
    tx 64 byte packets                                    1
+
    tx 65 127 byte packets                              115
+
    tx 256 511 byte packets                              230
+
 
+
==== set interface ip address ====
+
 
+
To set an interface ip address, use "set interface ip address":
+
 
+
vpp# set interface ip address GigabitEthernet2/0/0 6.0.0.2/24
+
vpp# set interface ip address GigabitEthernet2/0/0 db01::1/64
+
 
+
Note that the debug CLI does not enforce classful mask-width / addressing constraints. Interfaces may have multiple ip4 and ip6 addresses. There is no concept of primary vs. secondary interface addresses; they're just addresses.
+
 
+
To delete a specific interface ip address, use "set interface ip address del":
+
 
+
vpp# set interface ip address del GigabitEthernet2/0/0 6.0.0.2/24
+
 
+
To delete all interfaces addresses (ip4+ip6), use "set interface ip address del <intfc> all"
+
 
+
vpp# set interface ip address del GigabitEthernet2/0/0 all
+
 
+
==== set interface state ====
+
 
+
Admin up/down via "set interface state":
+
 
+
vpp# set interface state GigabitEthernet2/0/0 up
+
vpp# set interface state GigabitEthernet2/0/0 down
+
 
+
==== create vlan subinterface ====
+
 
+
To create a vlan subinterface 11 to process packets on 802.1q VLAN id 11, use:
+
 
+
vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 11
+
 
+
This shorthand is equivalent to:
+
 
+
vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 11 dot1q 11 exact-match
+
 
+
You can specify a subinterface number that is different from the vlan id:
+
 
+
vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 11 dot1q 100
+
 
+
You can create qinq and q-in-any interfaces:
+
 
+
vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 11 dot1q 100 inner-dot1q 200
+
vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 12 dot1q 100 inner-dot1q any
+
 
+
You can also create dot1ad interfaces:
+
 
+
vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 11 dot1ad 11
+
vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 12 dot1q 100 inner-dot1q 200
+
 
+
Subinterfaces can be configured as either exact-match or non-exact match.
+
Non-exact match is the CLI default. If exact-match is specified, packets must
+
have the same number of vlan tags as the configuration. For non-exact-match,
+
packets must *at least* that number of tags. L3 (routed) interfaces must
+
be configured as exact-match. L2 interfaces are typically configured as
+
non-exact-match.
+
 
+
For example, a packet with outer vlan 100 and inner 200 would match this interface:
+
 
+
vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 5 dot1q 100
+
 
+
but would not match this interface:
+
 
+
vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 5 dot1q 100 exact-match
+
 
+
There are two special subinterfaces that can be configured. Subinterface "untagged" has no vlan tags:
+
 
+
vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 5 untagged
+
 
+
The subinterface "default" matches any packet that does not match any other subinterface:
+
 
+
vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 7 default
+
 
+
==== set interface ip table ====
+
 
+
Place the indicated interface into the supplied VRF via "set interface ip table"
+
 
+
vpp# set interface ip table GigabitEthernet2/0/0 2
+
 
+
Interface addresses added after setting the interface IP table end up in the indicated VRF table. Predictable but potentially counter-intuitive results occur if you provision interface addresses in multiple FIBs. Upon RX, packets will be processed in the last IP table ID provisioned. It might be marginally useful to evade source RPF drops to put an interface address into multiple FIBs.
+
 
+
=== Routing table commands ===
+
 
+
==== ip route add/del (basic) ====
+
 
+
To add or delete straightforward static routes, use ip route add / del:
+
 
+
vpp# ip route add 6.0.1.2/32 via 6.0.0.1 GigabitEthernet2/0/0
+
vpp# ip route del 6.0.1.2/32 via 6.0.0.1 GigabitEthernet2/0/0
+
 
+
==== ip route add/del (multiple) ====
+
 
+
Mainly for route add/del performance testing, one can add or delete multiple routes by adding "count N" to the previous item:
+
+
vpp# ip route add count 10 7.0.0.0/24 via 6.0.0.1 GigabitEthernet2/0/0
+
 
+
==== ip route add/del (multipath) ====
+
 
+
Add multiple routes for the same destination to create equal-cost multipath:
+
 
+
vpp# ip route add 7.0.0.1/32 via 6.0.0.1 GigabitEthernet2/0/0
+
vpp# ip route add 7.0.0.1/32 via 6.0.0.2 GigabitEthernet2/0/0
+
 
+
For unequal-cost multipath, specify the desired weights:
+
 
+
  vpp# ip route add 7.0.0.1/32 via 6.0.0.1 GigabitEthernet2/0/0 weight 1
+
  vpp# ip route add 7.0.0.1/32 via 6.0.0.2 GigabitEthernet2/0/0 weight 3
+
 
+
This combination of weights results in 3/4 of the traffic following the second path, 1/4 following the first path.
+
 
+
==== show ip fib / show ip6 fib ====
+
 
+
Use "show ip fib" / "show ip6 fib" to display the ip4 and ip6 FIBs, respectively. These commands will run for a long time when the FIBs comprise millions of entries.
+
 
+
vpp# sh ip fib
+
Table 0
+
    Destination        Packets          Bytes        Adjacency 
+
6.0.0.0/8                          0              0 weight 1, index 3
+
                                                    arp fake-eth0 6.0.0.1/8
+
6.0.0.1/32                        0              0 weight 1, index 4
+
                                                      local 6.0.0.1/8
+
 
+
And so forth. Use "show ip fib summary" for a summary:
+
 
+
vpp# sh ip fib summary
+
Table 0
+
    Prefix length        Count   
+
                  8              1
+
                  32              4
+
 
+
==== Manipulating the ARP cache ====
+
 
+
Add or delete ip4 ARP cache entries as follows:
+
 
+
vpp# set ip arp GigabitEthernet2/0/0 6.0.0.3 dead.beef.babe
+
vpp# set ip arp delete GigabitEthernet2/0/0 6.0.0.3 dead.beef.babe
+
 
+
Add or delete ip4 ARP cache entries to a specific fib table:
+
 
+
vpp# set ip arp fib-id 1 GigabitEthernet2/0/0 6.0.0.3 dead.beef.babe
+
vpp# set ip arp fib-id 1 delete GigabitEthernet2/0/0 6.0.0.3 dead.beef.babe
+
 
+
Add or delete ip4 static ARP cache entries as follows:
+
 
+
vpp# set ip arp static GigabitEthernet2/0/0 6.0.0.3 dead.beef.babe
+
vpp# set ip arp static delete GigabitEthernet2/0/0 6.0.0.3 dead.beef.babe
+
 
+
For testing / debugging purposes, the "set ip arp" command can add or delete multiple entries. Supply the "count N" parameter:
+
 
+
vpp# set ip arp count 10 GigabitEthernet2/0/0 6.0.0.3 dead.beef.babe
+
 
+
NOTE: "set ip arp" options (e.g. delete, static, "fib-id <id>", "count <number>", "<interface> <ip4 addr> <mac addr>") can be added in any order and combination.
+
 
+
==== Proxy ARP ====
+
 
+
To enable proxy arp on a range of addresses, use:
+
 
+
vpp# set ip arp proxy 6.0.0.1 - 6.0.0.11
+
 
+
You must specifically enable proxy arp on individual interfaces:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface proxy-arp <intfc> [enable|disable]
+
 
+
The vpp stack will answer ARP requests for the indicated address range. Use with caution. Proxy ARP is infamous for blackholing traffic.
+
 
+
Multiple proxy-arp ranges may be provisioned. The underlying implementation has not been performance-tuned; avoid creating an unnecessarily large set of ranges.
+
 
+
==== dhcp proxy ====
+
 
+
To configure dhcp proxy, configure as follows:
+
 
+
vpp# set dhcp proxy server 6.0.0.1
+
 
+
As of this writing, we support one DHCP server.
+
 
+
==== dhcp proxy option 82 (circuit-ID) ====
+
 
+
If configured as follows, the vpp dhcp proxy implementation will add the client-facing interface FIB number as a DHCP option 82 circuit-ID. Furthermore, the code sets suboption 5 to the first ip4 address provisioned on the client-facing interface.
+
 
+
  vpp# set dhcp proxy server 6.0.0.1 add-option-82
+
 
+
If necessary, one can configure the suboption-5-provided ip4 addresses manually; on a per-interface basis:
+
 
+
  vpp# set dhcp option-82 address [delete] <interface> <ip4-address>
+
 
+
To inspect the suboption-5 interface→ip4 address table, use:
+
 
+
  vpp# show dhcp option-82 addresses
+
 
+
==== provisioning martian addresses ====
+
 
+
If you intend to use the dhcp relay feature, you'll need to explicitly provision the ip4 L3 martian addresses 255.255.255.255 and 0.0.0.0:
+
 
+
vpp# ip route add 255.255.255.255/32 via local
+
vpp# ip route add 0.0.0.0/32 via local
+
 
+
==== set ip6 neighbor ====
+
 
+
To statically configure an ip6 neighbor adjacency, use the "set ip6 neighbor" command:
+
 
+
vpp# set ip6 neighbor [del] <intfc> <ip6-address> <mac-address>
+
 
+
This command is especially useful for example when adding an ip6 default route, since neither the ip4 nor ip6 FIB has the concept of a glean adjacency.
+
 
+
==== show ip6 neighbors ====
+
 
+
To display the vpp platform's idea of adjacent ipv6 hosts found via neighbor discovery:
+
 
+
vpp# show ip6 neighbors
+
 
+
==== enable/disable source RPF checking on an interface ====
+
 
+
vpp# set interface ip source-check GigabitEthernet2/0/0
+
vpp# set interface ip source-check GigabitEthernet2/0/0 del
+
 
+
Source RPF checking is on by default.
+
 
+
==== ip probe ====
+
The ip probe command ARPs for ip4 addresses or attempts ip6 neighbor discovery depending on the supplied ip address format.
+
 
+
  vpp# ip probe <interface> <ip-address>
+
 
+
Note that this command will not immediately affect the indicated FIB; it is not suitable for use in establishing a FIB entry prior to adding recursive FIB entries. As in: don't use it in a script to probe a gateway prior to adding a default route. It won't work. Instead, configure a static ARP cache entry [see [[VPP/Command-line_Interface_(CLI)_Guide#Manipulating_the_ARP_cache|set ip arp]]], or a static ip6 neighbor [see [[VPP/Command-line_Interface_(CLI)_Guide#set_ip6_neighbor|set ip6 neighbor]]].
+
 
+
=== Layer 2 commands ===
+
 
+
The Vector Packet Engine (VPE) natively includes a small set of layer2 features.
+
 
+
==== Interface mode commands ====
+
 
+
Interfaces can be set in either L3 (routed) mode or L2 (xconnect or bridged) mode.
+
 
+
Interfaces are in L3 mode by default. To return an interface to L3 mode, use:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface l3 GigabitEthernet2/0/0
+
 
+
To cross-connect two interfaces, put both into L2 cross-connect mode. All packets received on one interface will be transmitted to the other.
+
 
+
vpp# set interface l2 xconnect GigabitEthernet2/0/0 GigabitEthernet2/0/1
+
vpp# set interface l2 xconnect GigabitEthernet2/0/1 GigabitEthernet2/0/0
+
 
+
Interfaces in a bridge-domain forward packets to other interfaces in the same bridge-domain based on destination mac address. To add an interface to bridge-domain 5 use:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface l2 bridge GigabitEthernet2/0/0 5
+
 
+
A split-horizon group can also be specified. This defaults to 0 if not specified.
+
 
+
vpp# set interface l2 bridge GigabitEthernet2/0/0 5 1
+
 
+
==== l2fib commands ====
+
 
+
The mac forwarding table for bridge-domains is called the l2fib. Entries are added automatically as part of mac learning, but you can also add entries manually.
+
 
+
The following command associates the mac address in bridge domain 0 with GigabitEthernet2/0/0. (Note that the interface should be configured to be the specified bridge-domain but this is not enforced):
+
 
+
vpp# l2fib add 00:11:22:33:44:55 0 GigabitEthernet2/0/0
+
 
+
You can also create static mac entries. These cannot be overridden by mac learning.
+
 
+
vpp# l2fib add 00:11:22:33:44:55 0 GigabitEthernet2/0/0 static
+
 
+
You can drop packets with "bad" mac addresses by creating filter entries. If a packet's source mac or destination mac matches a filtered entry, the packet is dropped:
+
 
+
vpp# l2fib add 00:11:22:33:44:55 0 filter
+
 
+
You can also create entries that point to BVI interfaces. See the BVI section for more information.
+
 
+
vpp# l2fib add 00:11:22:33:44:55 0 loop0 bvi
+
 
+
You can delete specific l2fib entries using:
+
 
+
vpp# l2fib del 00:11:22:33:44:55 0
+
 
+
You can delete all l2fib entries using:
+
 
+
vpp# clear l2fib
+
 
+
You can display the contents of the l2fib using:
+
 
+
vpp# show l2fib
+
    Mac Address    BD ID            Interface          Index  static  filter  bvi  refresh  timestamp
+
00:02:04:06:08:0a    0        GigabitEthernet2/1/0        6      0      0    0      0        0   
+
00:22:44:06:08:0a    0      GigabitEthernet2/2/0.1      9      0      0    0      0        0
+
 
+
==== bridge-domain commands ====
+
 
+
You can display the list of all bridge-domains that are in use:

+
 
+
==== enable/disable learning, forwarding, and flooding ====
+
 
+
MAC learning, unicast forwarding, and flooding can be enabled and disabled independently on each interface and on each bridge-domain.
+
By default these are enabled.
+
 
+
To disable learning on an interface use:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface l2 learn GigabitEthernet2/0/0 disable
+
 
+
To re-enable it use:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface l2 learn GigabitEthernet2/0/0
+
 
+
Similarly, unicast forwarding and flooding can be disabled:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface l2 forward GigabitEthernet2/0/0 disable
+
vpp# set interface l2 flood GigabitEthernet2/0/0 disable
+
 
+
These three features can also be disabled at the bridge-domain level.
+
To disable learning on all interfaces in bridge-domain 2, use:
+
 
+
vpp# set bridge-domain learn 2 disable
+
 
+
==== VLAN Tag Rewrite ====
+
 
+
VLAN tag rewrite provides the ability to change the VLAN tags on a packet. Existing tags can be popped, new tags can be pushed, and existing tags can be swapped with new tags. The rewrite feature is attached to a subinterface as input and output operations. The input operation is explicitly configured. The output operation the symmetric opposite and is automatically derived from the input operation.
+
 
+
By default a subinterface has no tag-rewrite. To return a subinterface to this state use:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface tag-rewrite GigabitEthernet2/0/0.1 disable
+
 
+
To pop vlan tags off packets received from a subinterface, use:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface tag-rewrite GigabitEthernet2/0/0.1 pop 1
+
vpp# set interface tag-rewrite GigabitEthernet2/0/0.1 pop 2
+
 
+
The subinterface encapsulation (the vlan tags specified when it was created) must have at least the number of popped tags. e.g. the "pop 2" operation would be rejected on a single-vlan interface. The output tag-rewrite operation for pops is to push the specified number of vlan tags onto the packet. The pushed tag values are the ones in the subinterface encapsulation.
+
 
+
To push one or two vlan tags onto packets received from an interface, use:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface tag-rewrite GigabitEthernet2/0/0.1 push dot1q 100
+
vpp# set interface tag-rewrite GigabitEthernet2/0/0.1 push dot1ad 100 200
+
 
+
The push operation also specifies the ethertype. The output tag-rewrite operation for pushes is to pop the same number of tags off the packet. If the packet doesn't have enough tags it is dropped.
+
 
+
Tags can also be translated, which is basically a combination of a pop and push.
+
 
+
vpp# set interface tag-rewrite GigabitEthernet2/0/0.1 translate 1-1 dot1ad 100
+
vpp# set interface tag-rewrite GigabitEthernet2/0/0.1 translate 2-2 dot1ad 100 200
+
vpp# set interface tag-rewrite GigabitEthernet2/0/0.1 translate 1-2 dot1q 100 200
+
vpp# set interface tag-rewrite GigabitEthernet2/0/0.1 translate 2-1 dot1q 100
+
 
+
==== EFP Filter Check ====
+
 
+
It is possible to transmit a packet out a subinterface with vlan tags that are not compatible with that subinterface. In other words, if that packet arrived on the output port, it would not be classified as coming from the output subinterface. This can happen in various ways: through misconfiguration, by putting subinterfaces with different vlan encaps in the same bridge-domain, etc. The EFP Filter Check detects such packets and drops them. It consists of two checks, one that verifies the packet prior to output vlan tag rewrite and one that verifies the packet after vlan tag rewrite.
+
 
+
You can enable the EFP filter check using:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface efp-filter GigabitEthernet2/0/0.1
+
 
+
The EFP Filter check is disabled by default. You can disable it again by using:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface efp-filter GigabitEthernet2/0/0.1 disable
+
 
+
==== IRB/BVI ====
+
 
+
Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) emulates a switch connected to a router port using an internal virtual interface called a Bridged Virtual Interface (BVI). The BVI connects an L3 vrf to an L2 bridge-domain. When an L3 packet is routed to the BVI, an L2 encapsulation is added to the packet as is done normally. But instead of being transmitted out a physical interface, the packet is forwarded in the bridge-domain associated with the BVI. The packet could be unicast or flooded to all interfaces in the bridge-domain. In the other direction, an L2 packet could be forwarded to a BVI interface. This could happen via a BVI entry in the l2fib or via flooding in a bridge-domain that includes a BVI interface. The packet is then routed in the vrf associated with the BVI.
+
 
+
A bridge-domain can be associated with only one BVI. However a vrf can contain routes to multiple BVIs.
+
 
+
To configure a BVI interface, create it using a loopback interface, assign a mac address, and set its vrf and bridge-domain. This example uses vrf 0 and bridge-domain 5. Learning should be disabled on the BVI interface. It is harmless but useless to enable it because the BVI l2fib entry is static:
+
vpp# loop create 0000.0B51.0001
+
vpp# set int l2 bridge loop0 5 bvi
+
vpp# set int ip table loop0 0
+
vpp# set int l2 learn loop0 disable
+
vpp# set int state loop0 up
+
 
+
Add L3 connectivity by creating a route and adjacency for the BVI interface. The static ARP is not strictly necessary -- routing to an IP with an unknown mac will cause an ARP request to be generated.
+
vpp# ip route table 0 8.0.1.0/24 via loop0
+
vpp# set ip arp loop0 8.0.1.1 00:02:04:06:08:0a
+
 
+
Verify the BVI configuration:
+
vpp# show l2fib
+
    Mac Address    BD ID            Interface          Index  static  filter  bvi  refresh  timestamp

+
 
+
=== Tunnel encapsulations ===
+
 
+
==== GRE tunnels ====
+
 
+
To create a GRE tunnel:
+
 
+
vpp# create gre tunnel src <addr> dst <addr> [outer-fib-id <fib-id>]
+
 
+
This creates a GRE tunnel whose outer IP header will have the indicated source and destination IP addresses. The tunnel manifests itself as a greX interface.
+
Interface address can be set with "set interface address" command. GRE Encapsulated packets can be sent/received in non-zero FIB by specifying optional keyword outer-fib-id.
+
 
+
==== MPLS-in-GRE tunnels ====
+
 
+
To create an MPLS-in-GRE tunnel, first create the required encap and decap label mappings:
+
 
+
vpp# mpls decap [add|delete] label <label> fib <id>
+
vpp# mpls encap [add|delete] label <label> fib <id> dest <ip4-address>
+
 
+
Next, create the tunnel itself.
+
 
+
vpp# create mpls gre tunnel src <addr> dst <addr> intfc <addr>
+
 
+
Tunnel creation will fail if no encap label exists for the "intfc <addr>" 
+
 
+
The dataplane expects to find a single MPLS label after the outer-IP header. The label value is translated through the MPLS decap table; the indicated FIB tables are used to route the decapsulated inner IP header.
+
 
+
To display the encap and decap label tables, use:
+
 
+
vpp# show mpls fib
+
 
+
To display the set of MPLS tunnels, use:
+
 
+
vpp# show mpls tunnel
+
 
+
==== L2tpv3-in-ip6 tunnels ====
+
 
+
To create an l2tpv3-in-ip6←→L2 VLAN tunnel, use the "create l2tpv3 tunnel" command. All parameters are specified on a single input line (of arbitrary length):
+
 
+
vpp# create l2tpv3 tunnel client <ip6-addr> our <ip6-addr>
+
      [local-cookie <%llx>] [remote-cookie <%llx>]
+
      [local-session-id <dec-num>] [remote-session-id <dec-num>]
+
      [l2-sublayer-present]
+
 
+
Local-cookie and remote-cookie default to FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Local-session-id and remote-session-id default to 1.
+
 
+
When interoperating with the current Linux l2tpv3-in-v6 implementation, you'll need to specify the l2-sublayer-present property. Conversely, when interoperating with IOS-XR, do not specify l2-sublayer-present. Since the l2 sublayer is used to transport sequence information -- not present in static l2tpv3 softwires -- it seems that the Linux implementation is incorrect.
+
 
+
In the tunnel-to-l2-interface direction, decapsulation must be explicitly enabled on the input interface:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface ip6 l2tpv3 GigabitEthernet2/1/0
+
 
+
This can be deconfigured as well:
+
 
+
vpp# set interface ip6 l2tpv3 GigabitEthernet2/1/0 del
+
 
+
The vpp stack strips the ip6 and tunnel encaps and tracks down the inner l2 header. Vlan tags can be inserted using subinterface VLAN tag-rewrite commands (see above).
+
 
+
The session lookup key is configurable on the vpp command line. For example:
+
 
+
  # <vpp-app-full-path> unix interactive l2tp [lookup-v6-src | lookup-v6-dst | lookup-session-id]
+
 
+
The vpp stack defaults to "lookup-v6-dst."
+
 
+
In the l2-interface-to-tunnel direction, the vpp stack uses the l2 subinterface as the session lookup key.
+
 
+
Interoperation with the latest Linux kernel / network stack l2tpv3-in-ip6 implementation has been demonstrated.
+
 
+
''L2TP Cookie Rollover Commands''
+
 
+
''Configure L2TPv3 Rollover cookie"
+
 
+
vpp# set l2tpv3 tunnel cookie <interface> [local <64bit hex value>] [remote <64bit hex value>]
+
 
+
* if the local cookie value is specified, both the existing cookie value and the specified rollover value will be accepted.
+
* if the remote cookie value is specified, it will immediately replace the existing remote cookie value.

==== statistic and error counters ====
+
 
+
The vpp stack maintains many useful statistic and error counters. To display them:
+
 
+
  vpp# show error
+
      Count                      Node                          Error     
+
            8077                arp-input              IP4 destination address not local to subnet
+
              1                arp-input              ARP replies received
+
            126                arp-input              Proxy ARP replies sent
+
              1                ip4-arp                ARP requests sent
+
            1230                ip4-input              ip4 ttl <= 1

+
              1            ip6-icmp-input            neighbor solicitations for unknown targets
+
 
+
To understand the precise meaning of a statistic, start with the vlib graph node name (the "Node" column above), find the graph node definition, and finally "Use the Force and Read the Source."
+
 
+
To clear the statistic and error counters:

+
==== packet tracer ====
+
 
+
The packet tracer is your friend. If the vpp stack is dropping traffic, turn on the packet tracer to see why.
+
 
+
First, identify the input node from which the traffic originates. (See also the command <code>show run</code>.)
+
 
+
For most cases, we see that traffic originates from "dpdk-input" which is the dpdk driver rx graph node.  Another choice is "pg-input" for packets from the built-in packet generator.
+
 
+
vpp# trace add dpdk-input 1
+
 
+
To display the traced packets:
+
 
+
vpp# show trace
+

Each graph node can contribute to the per-packet trace.
+
 
+
To clear the packet trace buffer, use "clear trace"
+
 
+
vpp# clear trace
+
 
+
==== command scripts ====
+
 
+
The "exec" command feeds the contents of a file to the parser:
+
 
+
vpp# exec /tmp/commands
+
 
+
Erroneous commands will result in complaints on stderr. Processing will continue.
+
 
+
==== API trace and client commands ====
+
 
+
If you've enabled API message tracing, you can save the current trace buffer to /tmp/<filename>, as follows:
+
 
+
vpp# api trace save <filename>
+
 
+
In more detail, the API trace command has the following syntax:
+
 
+
api trace [on|off][dump|save|replay <file>][status][free][post-mortem-on][post-mortem-off]
+
 
+
If API tracing is enabled and the vpp engine crashes, it makes every effort to save the current API trace to /tmp/api_post_mortem.<pid>. Enable API tracing from the beginning of time via this [[VPP/Command-line_Arguments#.22api-trace.22_parameters|command line argument]].
+
 
+
If misbehavior of the vpp engine control-plane APIs is suspected, '''please include a full API trace with the report'''. Given a reasonably similar image, we can reproduce complex multi-step issues in a few seconds.
+
 
+
To display the current set of connected API clients, use:
+
 
+
vpp# show api clients
+
 
+
To display statistics for the fast API message ring allocator, use:
+
 
+
vpp# show api ring-stats
+
 
+
NB the "ring miss fallback allocation" counter. If it's going through the roof, something is wrong.
+
 
+
==== connect to a tap device ====
+
 
+
To connect to a Linux "tap" device, use the "tap connect" CLI command:
+
 
+
vpp# tap connect <linux-tap-intfc-name> [hwaddr [<eth-addr> | random]]
+
 
+
Specify <eth-addr> in "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" or "xxyy.xxyy.xxyy" format. "Random" MAC addresses use the current time to seed a known-good 32-bit LCRN. Caveat emptor.
+
 
+
By default, the hwaddr matches the Linux device. This can easily cause confusion when placing the tap device into a Linux virtual bridge.
+
 
+
==== Display software version stamps ====
+
 
+
VPP software version stamps can be displayed using the show version CLI:
+
 
+
vpp# show version
+
vpp v1.0.0-63~g1bc56f7 built by loj on jl-cluster-1 at Sat Jan  9 15:42:51 EST 2016
+
vpp# show version verbose
+
vpp v1.0.0-63~g1bc56f7 built by loj on jl-cluster-1 at Sat Jan  9 15:42:51 EST 2016
+
Built in /scratch/loj/test/vpp
+
Compiled with GCC 4.8.4
+
DPDK version is RTE 2.1.0
+
 
+
=== Inline IPv6 OAM Commands ===
+
 
+
==== Configure ioam trace fields ====
+
 
+
vpp # set ioam rewrite trace-type <0x1f|0x3|0x9|0x11|0x19> trace-elts <nn> trace-tsp <0|1|2|3> node-id <node id in hex> app-data <app_data in hex>
+
 
+
Valid values for trace-type are 0x1f, 0x03, 0x09, 0x11 and 0x19. Following list provides corresponding trace elements included in hop-by-hop header:
+
0x1f : Hoplimit, node_id, ingress_if_id, egress_if_id, timestamp and app_data
+
0x03 : Hoplimit, node_id, ingress_if_id and egress_if_id
+
0x09 : Hoplimit, node_id  and timestamp
+
0x11 : Hoplimit, node_id  and app_data
+
0x19 : Hoplimit, node_id, timestamp and app_data
+
 
+
Valid values for trace-tsp are 0, 1, 2 and 3 defines the precision of 32-bit timestamp. This encodes the number of microseconds elapsed since 1970 Jan 1 in 64-bit. Optimization is done to keep only significant 32-bits that is enough to decode relative time across Value 0 means the precision is in seconds, 1 is for milliseconds, 2 is for micro seconds and 3 is for nano seconds.
+
 
+
==== Show ioam configuration summary ====
+
 
+
vpp# sh ioam summary 
+
              REWRITE FLOW CONFIGS - Not configured
+
  HOP BY HOP OPTIONS - TRACE CONFIG -
+
