Hi Alp Arslan,

Since tap_cli code is going to be deprecated in favour of tapv2.
I suggest you leverage tapv2, and also need some rework for PPPoE plugin.

Thanks,
Hongjun

Subject: [vpp-dev] PPPoE plugin documentation/support

Dear All, 

I am trying to evaluate the support of pppoe in vpp. However, I am facing some 
issues, here is my startup conf file. 

unix {
  nodaemon
  log /var/log/vpp/vpp.log
  full-coredump
  cli-listen /run/vpp/cli.sock
  gid vpp
}
api-trace {
  on
}
api-segment {
  gid vpp
}
socksvr {
  default
}
cpu {
        main-core 1
        corelist-workers 2,4,3,5
}
dpdk {
        dev 0000:05:00.1
        uio-driver vfio-pci
        socket-mem 2048,2048
}
plugins {
        plugin default { enable}
}
tuntap {
  enable
  ethernet
  name newtap
}

After that I run the following commands: 

vpp# set interface state TenGigabitEthernet5/0/1 up vpp# set interface state 
local0 up

Now at this point if I try to connect from the pppoe client, I can see three 
PADI request reaching VPP, and VPP trying to forward them at local0 interface. 
To forward this traffic to the tap port instead, I use this command. 

vpp# create pppoe cp cp-if-index 2

The help and the documentation for this command show this "create pppoe cp 
if-name <intfc> [del]", which doesn't work.
Now at this moment, I was expecting the VPP to forward the PADI request to
tuntap-0 interface, but I don't see anything in the VPP counters, nor by using 
tcpdump on interface "newtap" which is the kernel facing side of "tuntap-0" 
interface. 

My question is, Is my approach correct? Are the PADI requests forwarded to the 
tuntap-0 interface? If not where do they go? I cannot find any good 
documentation on this anywhere. 
Any help regarding this would be highly appreciated. 

Regards,
Alp Arslan
