Verifying the Simulator and the Pipeline Environment - UG1669

To see the SSDK version, execute the following command:

# pdsctl show version

An example output of the version is shown below.

Firmware Version   : 1.70.2-S-1
Pipeline           : rudra
P4 Program         : hello_world
Build Time         : Thu Sep  7 07:45:19 PDT 2023

To see the interfaces of the simulator, execute the command:

# ifconfig

This command shows a list of all the available interfaces. Eth1/1 and Eth1/2 are the interfaces from the simulator. An example output of the interfaces is shown below.

Eth1-1: flags=323<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC>  mtu 1500
        ether 00:03:00:00:01:01  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

Eth1-2: flags=323<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC>  mtu 1500
        ether 00:03:00:00:01:02  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

As a part of the simulator startup, the PDS App process is started. It reads the following file that contains instructions to create the NACL table and populate specific entries into the table:

/sw/nic/rudra/src/conf/hello_world/config.json

To see the NACL table load information in the config.json file, execute the command:

# cat /sw/nic/rudra/src/conf/hello_world/config.json

You can see the table definition is defined in the base key attribute, in the first part of the config.json file:

...
"base": {
    "description": "base dynamic nacl config to program p4 table, base config required prior to any CRUD operations",
    "send_intf": "Eth1-1",
    "verify_intf": "Eth1-2",
    "table_config": [
        {
            "dmac": "00:00:00:00:10:02",
            "sip": "1.2.3.4",
            "dip": "2.3.4.5",
            "sport": 345,
            "dport": 456,
            "action": "nacl_redirect"
        },
        {
            "dmac": "00:00:00:00:10:04",
            "sip": "5.5.5.5",
            "dip": "1.2.1.2",
            "sport": 486,
            "dport": 524,
            "action": "nacl_permit"
        },
        {
            "dmac": "00:50:00:00:10:23",
            "sip": "3.5.6.2",
            "dip": "4.2.0.8",
            "sport": 918,
            "dport": 835,
            "action": "nacl_drop"
        }
    ]
},
...

To see that the NACL table is loaded and available in the pipeline, execute the command:

# dpctl debug show nacl
[root@dsc_ssdk nic]# dpctl show pipeline internal table nacl

An example output of the NACL table is shown below.

RP  - Rx packet                TP  - Tunnel pkt
Act - Action (R - Redirect, P - Permit, D - Drop)
KT  - Key type                 DF  - Don't fragment
