The main use-case is, that there are two laptops, connected via ethernet cable. Both receive data from the network, in my case from several RPi-s. When there's a problem with one of the laptops, it bridges the data trough the ethernet cable to the other one, providing redundancy. There will be several VLAN-s on the laptops - inside the VPP instances -, each for it's own type of job. I should also use ACL-s. Sadly none of my co-workers has any experience with VPP, they have a lot to do with their own work and can't deep dive into this section. I got this task as a beginner apprentice and can't really imagine, how Python API - which they told me I should use for this system - can help me set up the VLAN-s, the ACL-s and the interfaces on the VPP instances running on the laptops.
For the beginning - after I had done the visibility of the VPP instances on separate laptops via DPDK - I wanted to have python API working on a "hello world" level, like showing the interfaces, version etc. Thanks Krisztian Pim van Pelt <p...@ipng.nl> ezt írta (időpont: 2022. júl. 20., Sze, 13:30): > Hi Krisztian, > > You should not ever need to create a nondebug cli (I don't even know that > that is), and you should not be using vpp_api_test in a production > environment. > I'm afraid you're presenting an XY Problem [ref > <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem#:~:text=The%20XY%20problem%20is%20a,root%20problem%20itself%20(X).>]. > Why don't you specify what you are trying to accomplish (rather than which > actions you want to take), which documents you read, which code you tried, > and what you are expecting the outcome to be? > > groet, > Pim > > On Wed, Jul 20, 2022 at 1:13 PM Krisztián Varga <vargakris...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Now the import worked fine, but I'm not sure how to create a nondebug >> cli.
