Create a Vagrantfile containing:
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.box = "puppetlabs/ubuntu-16.04-64-nocm"
config.vm.box_check_update = false
vmcpu=(ENV['VPP_VAGRANT_VMCPU'] || 2)
vmram=(ENV['VPP_VAGRANT_VMRAM'] || 4096)
config.ssh.forward_agent = true
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--ioapic", "on"]
vb.memory = "#{vmram}"
vb.cpus = "#{vmcpu}"
#support for the SSE4.x instruction is required in some versions of VB.
vb.customize ["setextradata", :id, "VBoxInternal/CPUM/SSE4.1", "1"]
vb.customize ["setextradata", :id, "VBoxInternal/CPUM/SSE4.2", "1"]
end
end
Action: Vagrant Up
Bring up your Vagrant VM:
vagrant up
Action: ssh to Vagrant VM
vagrant ssh
Exercise: Install vpp
Skills to be learned
- Learn how to install vpp binary packges using apt-get.
Note: This tutorial is using a special packaging of vpp called vpp_lite that allows you to run multiple vpp processes simultaneously. We will be building topologies of these vpp processes to allow us to perform labs which require multiple instances of 'routers' or 'switches'. Because of this, we will be getting our vpp packages from a slightly non-standard apt repository.
The installation mechanism is very similar to the standard Install VPP from Binary Packages instructions.
Action: Add key for apt repo
curl -L https://packagecloud.io/fdio/tutorial/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -
Action: Add repo to apt sources.list.d
With your favorite text editor (and sudo), create a file:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/fdio_tutorial.list
containing
deb https://packagecloud.io/fdio/tutorial/ubuntu/ xenial main deb-src https://packagecloud.io/fdio/tutorial/ubuntu/ xenial main
Action: apt-get install vpp
Run
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install vpp
Exercise: vpp basics
Skills to be Learned
By the end of the exerise you should be able to:
- Run a vpp instance in a mode which allows multiple vpp processes to run
- Issue vpp commands from the unix shell
- Run a vpp shell and issue it commands
vpp command learned in this exercise
Action: Run vpp
vpp runs in userspace. In a production environment you will often run it with DPDK to connect to real NICs or vhost to connect to VMs. In those circumstances you usually run a single instance of vpp.
For purposes of this tutorial, it is going to be extremely useful to run multiple instances of vpp, and connect them to each other to form a topology. Fortunately, vpp supports this.
When running multiple vpp instances, each instance needs to have specified a 'name' or 'prefix'. In the example below, the 'name' or 'prefix' is "vpp1"
sudo vpp api-segment { prefix vpp1 }
Example Output:
unix_physmem_init: use huge pages vlib_plugin_early_init:230: plugin path /usr/lib/vpp_plugins 0: api_main_init:52: vam 6acb60
Action: Using vppctl to send commands to vpp
You can send vpp commands with a utility calledvppctl.
When running vppctl against a named version of vpp, you will need to run:
sudo vppctl -p ${name} ${cmd}
So to run 'show ver' against the vpp instance named vpp1 you would run:
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 show ver
Output:
vpp v17.04-rc0~177-g006eb47 built by ubuntu on fdio-ubuntu1604-sevt at Mon Jan 30 18:30:12 UTC 2017
Action: Using vppctl to start a vpp shell
You can also use vppctl to launch a vpp shell with which you can run multiple vpp commands interactively by running:
sudo vppctl -p ${name}
which will give you a command prompt.
Try doing show ver that way:
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 vpp1# show ver
Output:
vpp v17.04-rc0~177-g006eb47 built by ubuntu on fdio-ubuntu1604-sevt at Mon Jan 30 18:30:12 UTC 2017 vpp1#
Exercise: Create an Interface
Skills to be Learned
- Create a veth interface in Linux host
- Assign an IP address to one end of the veth interface in the Linux host
- Create a vpp host-interface that connected to one end of a veth interface via AF_PACKET

- show ip fib
Initial State
The initial state here is presumed to be the final state from the exercise VPP Basics
Action: Create veth interfaces on host
In Linux, there is a type of interface call 'veth'. Think of a 'veth' interface as being an interface that has two ends to it (rather than one).
Create a veth interface with one end named vpp1out and the other named vpp1host
sudo ip link add name vpp1out type veth peer name vpp1host
Turn up both ends:
sudo ip link set dev vpp1out up sudo ip link set dev vpp1host up
Assign an IP address
sudo ip addr add 10.10.1.1/24 dev vpp1host
Display the result:
sudo ip addr show vpp1host
Example Output:
10: vpp1host@vpp1out: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 5e:97:e3:41:aa:b8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.10.1.1/24 scope global vpp1host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::5c97:e3ff:fe41:aab8/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Action: Create vpp host- interface
Create a host interface attached to vpp1out.
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 create host-interface name vpp1out
Output:
host-vpp1out
Confirm the interface:
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 show hardware
Example Output:
Name Idx Link Hardware
host-vpp1out 1 up host-vpp1out
Ethernet address 02:fe:48:ec:d5:a7
Linux PACKET socket interface
local0 0 down local0
local
Turn up the interface:
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 set int state host-vpp1out up
Confirm the interface is up:
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 show int
Name Idx State Counter Count
host-vpp1out 1 up
local0 0 down
Assign ip address 10.10.1.2/24
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 set int ip address host-vpp1out 10.10.1.2/24
Confirm the ip address is assigned:
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 show int addr
host-vpp1out (up): 10.10.1.2/24 local0 (dn):
Action: Add trace
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 trace add af-packet-input 10
Action: Ping from host to vpp
ping -c 1 10.10.1.2
PING 10.10.1.2 (10.10.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.10.1.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.557 ms --- 10.10.1.2 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.557/0.557/0.557/0.000 ms

vpp command learned in this exercise
Initial state
Unlike previous exercises, for this one you want to start tabula rasa.
Note: You will lose all your existing config in your vpp instances!
To clear existing config from previous exercises run:
ps -ef | grep vpp | awk '{print $2}'| xargs sudo kill
sudo ip link del dev vpp1host
sudo ip link del dev vpp1vpp2
Action: Run vpp instances
- Run a vpp instance named vpp1
- Run a vpp instance named vpp2
Action: Connect vpp1 to host
- Create a veth with one end named vpp1host and the other named vpp1out.

Action: Configure Bridge Domain on vpp1
Check to see what bridge domains already exist, and select the first bridge domain number not in use:
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 show bridge-domain
ID Index Learning U-Forwrd UU-Flood Flooding ARP-Term BVI-Intf 0 0 off off off off off local0
In the example above, there is bridge domain ID '0' already, so we will create bridge domain 1.
Add host-vpp1out to bridge domain ID 1
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 set interface l2 bridge host-vpp1out 1
Add host-vpp1vpp2 to bridge domain ID1
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 set int l2 bridge host-vpp1vpp2 1
Examine bridge domain 1:
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 show bridge-domain 1 detail
ID Index Learning U-Forwrd UU-Flood Flooding ARP-Term BVI-Intf
1 1 on on on on off N/A
Interface Index SHG BVI TxFlood VLAN-Tag-Rewrite
host-vpp1out 1 0 - * none
host-vpp1vpp2 2 0 - * none
Action: Configure loopback interface on vpp2
sudo vppctl -p vpp2 create loopback interface
loop0
Add the ip address 10.10.1.2/24 to vpp2 interface loop0. Set the state of interface loop0 on vpp2 to 'up'
Action: Configure bridge domain on vpp2
Check to see the first available bridge domain ID (it will be 1 in this case)
Add interface loop0 as a bvi interface to bridge domain 1
sudo vppctl -p vpp2 set int l2 bridge loop0 1 bvi
Add interface vpp2vpp1 to bridge domain 1
sudo vppctl -p vpp2 set int l2 bridge host-vpp2vpp1 1
Examine the bridge domain and interfaces.

Skills to be Learned
- Abusing networks namespaces for fun and profit
- Configuring snat address
- Configuring snat inside and outside interfaces
vpp command learned in this exercise
Initial state
Unlike previous exercises, for this one you want to start tabula rasa.
Note: You will lose all your existing config in your vpp instances!
To clear existing config from previous exercises run:
ps -ef | grep vpp | awk '{print $2}'| xargs sudo kill
sudo ip link del dev vpp1host
sudo ip link del dev vpp1vpp2
Action: Install vpp-plugins
Snat is supported by a plugin, so vpp-plugins need to be installed
sudo apt-get install vpp-plugins
Action: Create vpp instance
Create one vpp instance named vpp1.
Confirm snat plugin is present:
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 show plugins
Plugin path is: /usr/lib/vpp_plugins Plugins loaded: 1.ioam_plugin.so 2.ila_plugin.so 3.acl_plugin.so 4.flowperpkt_plugin.so 5.snat_plugin.so 6.libsixrd_plugin.so 7.lb_plugin.so
Action: Create veth interfaces
- Create a veth interface with one end named vpp1outside and the other named vpp1outsidehost
- Assign IP address 10.10.1.1/24 to vpp1outsidehost
- Create a veth interface with one end named vpp1inside and the other named vpp1insidehost
- Assign IP address 10.10.2.1/24 to vpp1outsidehost
Because we'd like to be able to route *via* our vpp instance to an interface on the same host, we are going to put vpp1insidehost into a network namespace
Create a new network namespace 'inside'
sudo ip netns add inside
Move interface vpp1inside into the 'inside' namespace:
sudo ip link set dev vpp1insidehost up netns inside
Assign an ip address to vpp1insidehost
sudo ip netns exec inside ip addr add 10.10.2.1/24 dev vpp1insidehost
Create a route inside the netns:
sudo ip netns exec inside ip route add 10.10.1.0/24 via 10.10.2.2
Action: Configure vpp outside interface
- Create a vpp host interface connected to vpp1outside
- Assign ip address 10.10.1.2/24
- Create a vpp host interface connected to vpp1inside
- Assign ip address 10.10.2.2/24
Action: Configure snat
Configure snat to use the address of host-vpp1outside
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 snat add interface address host-vpp1outside
Configure snat inside and outside interfaces
sudo vppctl -p vpp1 set interface snat in host-vpp1inside out host-vpp1outside
Action: Prepare to Observe Snat
Observing snat in this configuration is interesting. To do so, vagrant ssh a second time into your VM and run:
sudo tcpdump -s 0 -i vpp1outsidehost
Also enable tracing on vpp1
Action: Ping via snat
sudo ip netns exec inside ping -c 1 10.10.1.1
Action: Confirm snat
Examine the tcpdump output and vpp1 trace to confirm snat occurred.
