[vpp-dev] plugin lb's requirements and supported topology

[vpp-dev] How to get VPP core dump and run exec file in interactive mode

Re: [vpp-dev] vpp building problem

What you have done is build, you need to do the installation, and configuration (if needed), before you can start the service. Take a look at this link: https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Installing_VPP_binaries_from_packages I am on CentOS, the build packages are under extras/rpm. If your build is succ
