Hi, You should name the arguments you pass to the functions. If you haven't yet, I advise you to have a look here : https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Python_API which contains some small samples using the python API.

Thanks Ole! I did try it before. I ran into issues when I invoke the API. >>> r = vpp.af_packet_create(veth0-craft0) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'veth0' is not defined >>> r = vpp.af_packet_create('veth0-craft0') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: <lambda>() takes exactly 0 arguments (1 given) >>> r = vpp.af_packet_create(1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: <lambda>() takes exactly 0 arguments (1 given) I am a python newbie, so please excuse my naïve question. This is probably not a vpp issue. I must be invoking the Api wrong way. Do you happen to know by any chance what is the right way to invoke it?

Looks like we're not quite consistent on naming. It is this API you are looking for I think: /** \brief Create host-interface @param client_index - opaque cookie to identify the sender @param context - sender context, to match reply w/ request @param host_if_name - interface name @param hw_addr - interface MAC @param use_random_hw_addr - use random generated MAC */ define af_packet_create { u32 client_index; u32 context; u8 host_if_name[64]; u8 hw_addr[6]; u8 use_random_hw_addr; }; Best regards, Ole _______________________________________________ vpp-dev mailing list vpp-dev@lists.fd.io https://lists.fd.io/mailman/listinfo/vpp-dev _______________________________________________ vpp-dev mailing list vpp-dev@lists.fd.io https://lists.fd.io/mailman/listinfo/vpp-dev
