Correctly not mentioning the DPDK configuration way,

Subject: Re: [vpp-dev] Configuring linux kernel bond interface in VPP

Folks,

Unfortunately when performing an internet search for VPP's documentation, the 
first link found is commonly a very old copy on Read-The-Docs and often times a 
cloned RTD project.  Equally sad is the fact that the early doc sets did not 
include release labels, so it is not easy to discover the documentation is 
dated.

Here is a link to the VPP 22.06 documentation which is the equivalent circa VPP 
18.07 doc section that Pim references below: 
https://s3-docs.fd.io/vpp/22.06/configuration/config_getting_started.html#configuration-file-startup-conf

Thanks,

Hi,

We configure linux kernel physical interface on VPP using below steps:-

1. Whitelisting the physical interface in /etc/vpp/startup.conf.
2. Bringing the kernel interface down.
3. Restarting vpp service.

Is there a similar way by which we can configure linux bond interface in VPP? I 
don't see pci address for bond interface in linux.
No, you cannot create a bond in Linux and make use of that in VPP. Bonding is a 
kernel driver that makes use of physical network card (and their driver), so 
you will not see a PCI address for a bonded ethernet device in Linux.

However, you can do it the other way around -- create the bond in VPP and then 
expose it in Linux using the Linux Control Plane.
See an example of this in https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2021/08/25/vpp-4.html

There's another way of creating the bond in startup.conf -- search for the 
string eth_bond0 in the documentation here:
