15. Dual VLAN Offload Tests¶
The support of Dual VLAN offload features by Poll Mode Drivers consists in:
- Dynamically enable/disable inner VLAN filtering on an interface on x7xx series, 82576/82599,
- Dynamically enable/disable extended VLAN mode on 82576/82599,
- Dynamically configure outer VLAN TPID value, i.e. S-TPID value, on 82576/82599.
15.1. Prerequisites¶
In this feature, x7xx series, 82576 and 82599 are supported.
If using vfio the kernel must be >= 3.6+ and VT-d must be enabled in bios.When using vfio, use the following commands to load the vfio driver and bind it to the device under test:
modprobe vfio
modprobe vfio-pci
usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --bind=vfio-pci device_bus_id
Assuming that ports 0 and 1 are connected to the traffic generator’s port A and B,
launch the testpmd with the following arguments:
./build/app/testpmd -c ffffff -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.
15.2. Test Case: Enable/Disable VLAN packets filtering¶
Setup the mac forwarding mode:
testpmd> set fwd mac
Set mac packet forwarding mode
Enable vlan filtering on port 0:
testpmd> vlan set filter on 0
Check whether the mode is set successful:
testpmd> show port info 0

15.3. Test Case: Add/Remove VLAN Tag Identifier pass VLAN filtering¶
Enable VLAN filtering on port 0:
testpmd> vlan set filter on 0
Add a VLAN Tag Identifier 1 on port 0:
testpmd> rx_vlan add 1 0
- Configure the traffic generator to send VLAN packets with the Tag Identifier
1and send 1 packet on portA.Verify that the VLAN packet can been received in portB.
Remove the VLAN Tag Identifier 1 on port 0:
testpmd> rx_vlan rm 1 0
- Configure the traffic generator to send VLAN packets with the Tag Identifier
1and send 1 packet on portA.Verify that the VLAN packet cannot been received in portB.
15.4. Test Case: Enable/Disable VLAN header stripping¶
Enable vlan packet forwarding on port 0 first:
testpmd> vlan set filter off 0

Configure the traffic generator to send VLAN packets with the Tag Identifier
1 and send 1 packet on port A. Verify that the packet without VLAN Tag
Identifier can been received in port B.
Disable vlan header stripping on port 0:
testpmd> vlan set strip off 0
Check whether the mode is set successfully:
testpmd> show port info 0

15.5. Test Case: Enable/Disable VLAN header stripping in queue¶
Enable vlan packet forwarding on port 0 first:
testpmd> vlan set filter off 0
Disable vlan header stripping on port 0:
testpmd> vlan set strip off 0
Disable vlan header stripping in queue 0 on port 0:
testpmd> vlan set stripq off 0,0
