| − | This is a basic tutorial intended for VPP newcomers. It progressivly introduces main CLI commands for creating a switched and routed network. For the purpose of this tutorial, a virtual network will be created by the mean of Linux network namespaces, veth, and tap interfaces.
| + | Please see [https://fd.io/docs/vpp/master/gettingstarted/progressivevpp/index.html the new documentation] |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Prerequisites ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For this tutorial, you will need a Linux environment with VPP installed.
| + | |
| − | You can follow [[VPP/Setting_Up_Your_Dev_Environment|this tutorial]] to setup your development environment.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Running vpp ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Start VPP ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you installed VPP using the vagrant tutorial, do <code>vagrant up</code> and <code>vagrant ssh</code> in VPP's vagrant directory. VPP should be already be running.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ~$ sudo vppctl show version
| + | |
| − | vpp v1.0.0-433~gb53693a-dirty built by vagrant on localhost at Wed May 4 03:03:02 PDT 2016
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If it is not running, try:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ~$ sudo start vpp
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you have installed vpp through other means, you can execute VPP directly.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ~$ sudo vpp unix { interactive log /tmp/vpp.log full-coredump } api-trace { on }
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This command will start VPP in interactive mode. Which means you will be able to enter VPP CLI commands just like if they were executed using <code>sudo vppctl ''your command''</code>.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | From now on, we will use <code>vppctl</code> and ommit <code>sudo</code>, but you can use VPP's interactive mode if you want.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Basic VPP commands ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Execute the following commands.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ~$ vppctl show interface
| + | |
| − | Name Idx State Counter Count
| + | |
| − | GigabitEthernet0/8/0 5 down
| + | |
| − | GigabitEthernet0/9/0 6 down
| + | |
| − | local0 0 down
| + | |
| − | pg/stream-0 1 down
| + | |
| − | pg/stream-1 2 down
| + | |
| − | pg/stream-2 3 down
| + | |
| − | pg/stream-3 4 down
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In this example, the VM has two PCI interfaces, owned by DPDK drivers. DPDK runs in polling mode, which means that the single VPP thread currently takes 100% CPU.

| − | VPP Debug CLI implements a lot of different commands. You can display CLI help with '?'.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ~$ vppctl ?
| + | |
| − | ...
| + | |
| − | ~$ vppctl show ?
| + | |
| − | ...
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Virtual Network Setup ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | VPP supports two non-DPDK drivers enabling communications with Linux namespaces:
| + | |
| − | * '''veth''' interfaces with vpp ''host'' interfaces (based on efficient AF_PACKET shared memory with kernel). Click here for more information about [http://blog.scottlowe.org/2013/09/04/introducing-linux-network-namespaces/|veth interfaces and Linux network namespaces].
| + | |
| − | * '''tap''' interfaces from Linux's tuntap support.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This tutorial is going to use 3 different namespaces: ''ns0'', ''ns1'', and ''ns2''. ''ns0'' and ''ns1'' will be connected to VPP by the mean of veth interfaces, while ''ns2'' will be using a tap interface.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === ns0, ns1 and veth interfaces ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Let's configure ns0.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ~$ ip netns add ns0
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip link add vpp0 type veth peer name vethns0
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip link set vethns0 netns ns0
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip netns exec ns0 ip link set lo up
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip netns exec ns0 ip link set vethns0 up
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip netns exec ns0 ip addr add 2001::1/64 dev vethns0
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip netns exec ns0 ip addr add 10.0.0.1/24 dev vethns0
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip link set vpp0 up
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | And do the same for ns1.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ~$ ip netns add ns1
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip link add vpp1 type veth peer name vethns1
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip link set vethns1 netns ns1
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip netns exec ns1 ip link set lo up
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip netns exec ns1 ip link set vethns1 up
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip netns exec ns1 ip addr add 2001::2/64 dev vethns0
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip netns exec ns1 ip addr add 10.0.0.2/24 dev vethns0
| + | |
| − | ~$ ip link set vpp1 up
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Now on VPP side.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Let's create the host (af-packet) interfaces and set them up.
| + | |
| − | ~$ vppctl create host-interface name vpp0
| + | |
| − | ~$ vppctl create host-interface name vpp1
| + | |
| − | ~$ vppctl set interface state host-vpp0 up
| + | |
| − | ~$ vppctl set interface state host-vpp1 up
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Host interfaces are created with names like host-<linux-ifname>.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ~$ sudo vppctl show interface
| + | |
| − | Name Idx State Counter Count
| + | |

| − | == Routing and Switching ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This section will show how to configure our little virtual network with switching and routing.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Switching ns0 and ns1 ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In this section, we are going to switch ns0, ns1, and VPP within a common bridging domain.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ~# vppctl set interface l2 bridge host-vpp0 1
| + | |
| − | ~# vppctl set interface l2 bridge host-vpp1 1
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The two interfaces are now bridged !
| + | |
| − | Let's try and see packets coming in and out by using VPP's tracing.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ~# vppctl trace add af-packet-input 8
| + | |
| − | ~# ip netns exec ns0 ping6 2001::2
| + | |
| − | ~# vppctl show trace
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You should be able to see NDP packets followed by echo requests and responses.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ~# vppctl clear trace
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The two namespaces are connected but VPP is not. Let's change that by adding a loopback interface to the bridge domain.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ~# vppctl create loopback interface
| + | |
| − | ~# vppctl show interface
| + | |
| − | Name Idx State Counter Count
