classify filter

classify filter <intfc> | pcap mask <mask-value> match <match-value>
  | trace mask <mask-value> match <match-value> [del]
    [buckets <nn>] [memory-size <n>]

Construct an arbitrary set of packet classifier tables for use with "pcap trace rx | tx," and with the vpp packet tracer

Packets which match a rule in the classifier table chain will be traced. The tables are automatically ordered so that matches in the most specific table are tried first.

It's reasonably likely that folks will configure a single table with one or two matches. As a result, we configure 8 hash buckets and 128K of match rule space. One can override the defaults by specifying "buckets <nnn>" and "memory-size <xxx>" as desired.

To build up complex filter chains, repeatedly issue the classify filter debug CLI command. Each command must specify the desired mask and match values. If a classifier table with a suitable mask already exists, the CLI command adds a match rule to the existing table. If not, the CLI command add a new table and the indicated mask rule

Here is a terse description of the "mask <xxx>" syntax:

l2 src dst proto tag1 tag2 ignore-tag1 ignore-tag2 cos1 cos2 dot1q dot1ad

l3 ip4 <ip4-mask> ip6 <ip6-mask>

<ip4-mask> version hdr_length src[/width] dst[/width]

tos length fragment_id ttl protocol checksum

<ip6-mask> version traffic-class flow-label src dst proto

payload_length hop_limit protocol

l4 tcp <tcp-mask> udp <udp_mask> src_port dst_port

<tcp-mask> src dst # ports

<udp-mask> src_port dst_port

To construct matches, add the values to match after the indicated keywords: in the match syntax. For example: mask l3 ip4 src -> match l3 ip4 src 192.168.1.11

Configuring the classify filter

Configure a simple classify filter, and configure pcap trace rx to use it:

classify filter rx mask l3 ip4 src match l3 ip4 src 192.168.1.11

pcap trace rx max 100 filter

Configure another fairly simple filter

classify filter mask l3 ip4 src dst match l3 ip4 src 192.168.1.10 dst 192.168.2.10

Configure a filter for use with the vpp packet tracer:

classify filter trace mask l3 ip4 src dst match l3 ip4 src 192.168.1.10 dst 192.168.2.10

trace add dpdk-input 100 filter

Clear classifier filters

classify filter [trace | rx | tx  | <intfc>] del

To display the top-level classifier tables for each use case: show classify filter

To inspect the classifier tables, use

show classify table [verbose] The verbose form displays all of the match rules, with hit-counters
