# MFD CLI Client

Module for cli_client (command line interface client) utility for the Intel® Infrastructure Processing Unit (Intel® IPU). It implements the [mfd-base-tool](https://github.com/intel/mfd-tool) abstract class.
The command line interface (CLI) is a client application that connects to and communicates with the Intel® IPU Control Plane.

## Usage

```python
import logging

from mfd_connect import RPyCConnection
from mfd_cli_client import CliClient
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

# Prepare CLI Client
cp_host_mng_ip = '10.10.10.10'
rpyc_connection_cp = RPyCConnection(ip=cp_host_mng_ip)
cli_client = CliClient(connection=rpyc_connection_cp, absolute_path_to_binary_dir='/home/root')

# Get switch stats
get_switch_stats_result = cli_client.get_switch_stats(switch_id=1)
logger.info(f'CLI Client switch stats result: {get_switch_stats_result}')

# Find VFs
vf_amount = 1
find_vf_vsi_result = cli_client.find_vf_vsi(vf_amount=vf_amount)
logger.info(f'Find VSI per VF result: {find_vf_vsi_result}')

# List VSI list entries
vsi_list = cli_client.get_mac_and_vsi_list()
logger.info(f"VSI list entries: {vsi_list}")
```
## Exceptions raised by cli_client module
- `CliClientException`

- `CliClientNotAvailable`

## Implemented Methods

`execute_cli_client_command(self, command: str, *, timeout: int = 120, expected_return_codes: Iterable = frozenset({0})) -> str` - Execute any command passed through command parameter with command line interface client tool.

`get_vsi_statistics(self, vsi_id: int = 1) -> VSIStats` - Get command line interface client vsi stats.

`prepare_vm_vsi(self, vf_amount: Union[int, str] = 1) -> None` - For vf_amount VFs, create a VM node and map each VF to a VM node (vf0:vm1, vf1:vm2 ...).

`add_psm_vm_node(self, vm_id: Union[int, str] = 1) -> None` - Creates a VM node in the PSM tree with vm_id.

`add_group_vf2vm(self, psm_vf2vm: Dict[int, List[int]]) -> None:` - From a Dict containing VMs each with a list of VFs, create full vf2vm topology in PSM.
