1.5.3. fp-cli

The fp-cli tool interacts with the fast path. It is used to:

• display statistics

• display debugging information

Example: dump the interfaces synchronized from Linux in the fast path:

# fp-cli iface
1:eth1 [VR-0] ifuid=0x15867c2 (virtual) <FWD4|FWD6> (0x60)
        type=ether mac=90:e2:ba:6d:c5:30 mtu=1500 tcp4mss=0 tcp6mss=0
        IPv4 routes=0  IPv6 routes=0
        if_ops: rx_dev=none tx_dev=none ip_output=none
250:eth4 [VR-0] ifuid=0xfa4c59d2 (port 1) <FWD4|FWD6> (0x60)
        type=ether mac=00:1e:67:68:0b:1f mtu=1500 tcp4mss=0 tcp6mss=0
        IPv4 routes=0  IPv6 routes=0
        if_ops: rx_dev=none tx_dev=none ip_output=none
418:eth5 [VR-0] ifuid=0xa29daa82 (virtual) <FWD4|FWD6> (0x60)
        type=ether mac=00:1e:67:68:0b:20 mtu=1500 tcp4mss=0 tcp6mss=0
        IPv4 routes=0  IPv6 routes=0
        if_ops: rx_dev=none tx_dev=none ip_output=none
425:eth2 [VR-0] ifuid=0xa9a9b872 (port 0) <FWD4|FWD6> (0x60)
        type=ether mac=00:1e:67:68:0b:1e mtu=1500 tcp4mss=0 tcp6mss=0
        IPv4 routes=0  IPv6 routes=0
        if_ops: rx_dev=none tx_dev=none ip_output=none
650:lo [VR-0] ifuid=0x8a0a5828 (virtual) <UP|RUNNING|FWD4|FWD6> (0x63)
        type=loop mac=00:00:00:00:00:00 mtu=0 tcp4mss=0 tcp6mss=0
        IPv4 routes=0  IPv6 routes=0
        if_ops: rx_dev=none tx_dev=none ip_output=none
849:eth3 [VR-0] ifuid=0x51fb0922 (virtual) <FWD4|FWD6> (0x60)
        type=ether mac=90:e2:ba:6d:c5:31 mtu=1500 tcp4mss=0 tcp6mss=0
        IPv4 routes=0  IPv6 routes=0
        if_ops: rx_dev=none tx_dev=none ip_output=none
888:mgmt0 [VR-0] ifuid=0x78fb6b7a (virtual) <UP|RUNNING|FWD4|FWD6> (0x63)
        type=ether mac=00:1e:67:68:0b:1d mtu=1500 tcp4mss=0 tcp6mss=0
        IPv4 routes=4  IPv6 routes=0
        if_ops: rx_dev=none tx_dev=none ip_output=none
931:fpn0 [VR-0] ifuid=0xa307dac2 (virtual) <UP|RUNNING|FWD4|FWD6> (0x63)
        type=ether mac=00:00:46:50:4e:00 mtu=1500 tcp4mss=0 tcp6mss=0
        IPv4 routes=0  IPv6 routes=0
        if_ops: rx_dev=none tx_dev=none ip_output=none

Example: display the fast path ip stack statistics:

# fp-cli ip4-stats
  IpForwDatagrams:0
  IpInReceives:0
  IpInDelivers:0
  IpInHdrErrors:0
  IpInAddrErrors:0
  IpDroppedNoArp:0
  IpDroppedNoMemory:0
  IpDroppedForwarding:0
  IpDroppedIPsec:0
  IpDroppedBlackhole:0
  IpDroppedInvalidInterface:0
  IpDroppedNetfilter:0
  IpDroppedNoRouteLocal:0
  IpReasmTimeout:0
  IpReasmReqds:0
  IpReasmOKs:0
  IpReasmFails:0
  IpReasmExceptions:0
  IpFragOKs:0
  IpFragFails:0
  IpFragCreates:0

Example: dump the fast path license status (no license installed here):

# fp-cli license
VALID: License is valid.
- Product: on
- IPsec: on

The fp-cli help command gives a list of the available commands and their syntax.

Example: display ip4-stats syntax

# fp-cli help ip4-stats
ip4-stats                : Display IPv4 statistics
                ip4-stats [percore] [all]
