VPP plugins

VPP plugins manage basic configuration of the VPP. The management of configuration is split among multiple packages. Detailed description can be found in particular READMEs:

• aclplugin
• ifplugin
• l2plugin
• l3plugin
• l4plugin
• srplugin

Config file

The default plugins can use configuration file vpp.conf to:

• set global maximum transmission unit
• set VPP resync strategy
• to enable/disable status publishers

To run the vpp-agent with vpp.conf:

vpp-agent --vpp-plugin-config=/opt/vpp-agent/dev/vpp.conf

MTU

If there is an interface without MTU set, the value from configuration file will be used. MTU is written in config as follows:

mtu: <value>

Resync Strategy

There are two strategies available for VPP resync:

• full always performs the full resync of all VPP plugins. This is the default strategy.
• optimize-cold-start evaluates the existing configuration in the VPP at first. The state of interfaces is the decision-maker: if there is any interface configured except local0, the resync is performed normally. Otherwise it is skipped.
  IMPORTANT NOTE: Use it carefully because the state of the ETCD is not taken into consideration .

Strategy can be set in vpp.conf:

strategy: full or strategy: optimize

To skip resync completely, start vpp-agent with --skip-vpp-resync parameter. In such a case the resync is skipped completly (config file resync strategy is not taken into account).

Status Publishers

Status Publishers define list of data syncs to which status is published.

status-publishers: [<datasync>, <datasync2>, ...]

Currently supported data syncs for publishing state: etcd and redis.

Overview

Package vpp is the parent package for all "default" VPP-related plugins.
