Hi Pierre, I have configured gre on my backend server, and this does not solve my issue. I probably did not do it right. On the client, I did "telnet or ping 10.99.99.101" this did not reach the backend server. On the VPP LB node, vppctl show trace gave me "No packets in the trace buffer:. I thin

Can you do a trace (trace add dpdk-input 4 , show trace ) to see what VPP is doing ? Did you configure the gre tunnel on backend servers ? Can you show the full tcpdump capture on the backend server (with max verbosity) ? Thanks, - pierre Le 20 oct. 2017 à 04:25, John Wei mailto:johnt...@gmai

Hi Pierre, Thanks for the info, I was able to bring up the VPP LB node, with 3 backend servers. I used ping and telnet to verify that backend servers can be reached using telnet or ping on the VPP LB node. I'll deal with DPDK later. Then I tried to do the same thing on a client, VPP LB node got the

Hello ! Great that you managed to answer your prior questions. Did you see this little doc: https://docs.fd.io/vpp/16.12/lb_plugin_doc.html (Not very thorough, but it should help). LB does not require specific NIC. The fact that the lb plugin is loaded does not interfere with the NICs. You shou

Hi Pierre, I made further progress. I did the "rpm -i vpp-plugins-17.07.01-release.x86_64.rpm", and got plugin installed. I updated the /etc/vpp/startup.conf file, and how I can see plugins using "vppctl show plugins". My questions remains are: - how to configure lb and what is the syntax - instead

Hi Pierre, I was using "yum install vpp and vpp-lib" and there was no plugins. Now I build the whole vpp source, including plugins, and added plugin_path //vpp/extras/rpm/vpp-17.07.01/build-root/build-vpp-native/vpp/plugins to /etc/vpp/startup.conf file. Then restarted vpp.service. Now - how to do

Do you start VPP with the 'make run' command ? It looks like the way you start VPP, it doesn't specify the righ plugins directory. I'd suggest your try with adding "plugin_path " to VPP's command-line arguments. - Pierre Le 3 oct. 2017 à 20:40, John Wei mailto:johnt...@gmail.com>> a écrit :

Hello John, The LB plugin comes with VPP by default (no need for additional download, sources are in src/plugins/lb). As far as instructions are concerned, I am afraid the link you pointed to is all there is for now. But please ask if you feel like something in particular is missing. - Pierre
