This depends upon the driver you use. DPDK requires what you describe, other 
drivers are more dynamic:
 - avf for Intel Fortville and Columbiaville (40G/100G):

 - rdma for Mellanox ConnectX4/5: 
https://docs.fd.io/vpp/20.09/df/d0e/rdma_doc.html
 - VMWare vmxnet3: https://docs.fd.io/vpp/20.09/d2/d1a/vmxnet3_doc.html
 - virtio
