Support of VLAN Offload Features by Poll Mode Drivers
=====================================================
The support of VLAN offload features by Poll Mode Drivers consists in:
- the filtering of received VLAN packets,
- VLAN header stripping by hardware in received [VLAN] packets,
- VLAN header insertion by hardware in transmitted packets.
The filtering of VLAN packets is automatically enabled by the ``testpmd``
application for each port.
By default, the VLAN filter of each port is empty and all received VLAN packets
are dropped by the hardware.
To enable the receipt of VLAN packets tagged with the VLAN tag identifier
``vlan_id`` on the port ``port_id``, the following command of the ``testpmd``
application must be used::
rx_vlan add vlan_id port_id
In the same way, the insertion of a VLAN header with the VLAN tag identifier
``vlan_id`` in packets sent on the port ``port_id`` can be enabled with the
following command of the ``testpmd`` application::
tx_vlan set vlan_id port_id
The transmission of VLAN packets is done with the ``start tx_first`` command
of the ``testpmd`` application that arranges to first send a burst of packets
on all configured ports before starting the ``rxonly`` packet forwarding mode
that has been previously selected.
Prerequisites
=============
Assuming that ports ``0`` and ``1`` are connected to a traffic generator's port
``A`` and ``B``. Launch the ``testpmd`` with the following arguments::
./build/app/testpmd -cffffff -n 3 -- -i --burst=1 --txpt=32 \
--txht=8 --txwt=0 --txfreet=0 --rxfreet=64 --mbcache=250 --portmask=0x3
The -n command is used to select the number of memory channels. It should match the number of memory channels on that setup.
Set the verbose level to 1 to display informations for each received packet::
testpmd> set verbose 1
Test Case: Enable receipt of VLAN packets and VLAN header stripping
===================================================================
Setup the ``mac`` forwarding mode::
testpmd> set fwd mac
Set mac packet forwarding mode
Enable the receipt of VLAN packets with VLAN Tag Identifier 1 on port 0::
testpmd> rx_vlan add 1 0
testpmd> start
rxonly packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=32
nb forwarding cores=1 - nb forwarding ports=10
RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=64
RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
TX threshold registers: pthresh=32 hthresh=8 wthresh=8
Configure the traffic generator to send VLAN packets with the Tag Identifier
``1`` and send 1 packet on port ``A``.
Verify that the VLAN packet was correctly received on port ``B`` with VLAN tag ``1``.
Test Case: Disable receipt of VLAN packets
==========================================
Disable the receipt of VLAN packets with Tag Identifier ``1`` on port 0.
Send VLAN packets with the Tag Identifier ``1`` check that no packet is received
on port ``B``, meaning that VLAN packets are now dropped on port 0::
testpmd> rx_vlan rm 1 0
testpmd> start
rxonly packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=32
nb forwarding cores=1 - nb forwarding ports=8
RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=64
RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
TX threshold registers: pthresh=32 hthresh=8 wthresh=8
testpmd> stop
Verify that no packet was received on port ``B``.
Test Case: Enable VLAN header insertion in transmitted packets
==============================================================
Arrange to only send packets on port 0::
testpmd> set nbport 1
Number of forwarding ports set to 1
Arrange to send one VLAN packet with VLAN Tag Identifier ``1`` on port ``0``::
testpmd> tx_vlan set 1 0
testpmd> start tx_first
Verify that the packet is correctly received on the traffic generator side
(with VLAN Tag Identifier ``1``)
