foreword
- VPP provides a configuration tool that allows users to configure VPP quickly and easily. Users can configure VPP through some simple commands, including installation and some basic configuration and test cases.
use
- First install a python pip module, and use pip to install the VPP configuration tool.
- If you are not sure how to configure it, you can choose the default value: y, and for numbers, if the question looks like [1024], 1024 is the default value.

Welcome to the VPP system configuration utility
These are the files we will modify:
/etc/vpp/startup.conf
/etc/sysctl.d/80-vpp.conf
/etc/default/grub
Before we change them, we'll create working copies in /usr/local/vpp/vpp-config/dryrun
Please inspect them carefully before applying the actual configuration (option 3)!
What would you like to do?
1) Show basic system information
2) Dry Run (Will save the configuration files in /usr/local/vpp/vpp-config/dryrun for inspection)
and user input in /usr/local/vpp/vpp-config/configs/auto-config.yaml

Command: For Developers
修改代码很简单。编辑并调试根目录中的代码。为了做到这一点，我们需要一个脚本，将文件复制或数据到适当的地方。这是他们最终与点安装。对于Ubuntu，这是/ usr / local / vpp / vpp-config。对于Centos / usr / vpp / vpp-config。我提供了一个能够正确复制相关文件的脚本（./scripts/cp-data.sh）。我还提供了一个清理环境的脚本。这使开发人员可以从头开始。这些是在此环境中运行实用程序的步骤。这些脚本旨在从根目录运行。
./scripts/clean.sh
./scripts/cp-data.sh
./vpp_config.py
当该实用程序使用pip安装时，wrapper scripts / vpp-config被写入/ usr / local / bin。但是，在本地调试此脚本的起点是./vpp_config.py。通过从根目录执行./vpp_config.py来运行该实用程序。
代码中的起点位于vpp_config.py中。大部分工作都在./vpplib中的文件中完成Upload to Pypi
$ sudo -H bash
# cd vpp_config
# python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
# twine upload dist/*Example

Set IP address
- After vpp is configured, we can add IP addresses to these configured interfaces. Once done, you can try to ping and a run script will be created: /usr/local/vpp/vpp-config/scripts/set_int_ipv4_and_up for Ubuntu and /usr/vpp/vpp-config/scripts/set_int_ipv4_and_up for Centos.
This script can later be used to configure IP addresses.
