VPP/Progressive VPP Tutorial

Excercise 1: Install vpp

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.

Add key for apt repo

curl -L https://packagecloud.io/fdio/tutorial/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -

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

apt-get install vpp

Run sudo apt-get install vpp
