Hi All,

I  am new to VPP I had a basic doubt with respect to af_packet and netmap
configuration with VPP.

As I understand we need to configure interface CLI to start af_packet and
netmap service .

~# vppctl create host-interface name vpp0
~# vppctl set interface state host-vpp0 up


Is the purpose of the CLI to create only virtual interface can it detect
real hardware NIC port(can we configure the ports visible in 'ifconfig').

For DPDK, the real hardware NIC ports are detected as soon as vpp service
is started.

I was working on implementation of ODP(as new input node) with VPP so was
confused as the code handling for VPP with af_packet/netmap and DPDK is
different.

Please correct me.


Thanks & Regards,
Sreejith
