-Running VPP
-===========
-
-.. toctree::
-
-'vpp' Usergroup
----------------
-
-When VPP is installed, a new usergroup *'vpp'* is created. To avoid running the
-VPP CLI (vppctl) as root, add any existing users to the new group that need to
-interact with VPP:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ sudo usermod -a -G vpp user1
-
-Update your current session for the group change to take effect:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ newgrp vpp
-
-
-VPP Systemd File - 'vpp.service'
---------------------------------
-
-When the VPP is installed, a systemd service files is also installed. This
-file, vpp.service (Ubuntu: /lib/systemd/system/vpp.service and CentOS:
-/usr/lib/systemd/system/vpp.service), controls how VPP is run as a service. For
-example, whether or not to restart on failure and if so, with how much delay.
-Also, which UIO driver should be loaded and location of the *'startup.conf'*
-file.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/vpp.service
- [Unit]
- Description=Vector Packet Processing Process
- After=syslog.target network.target auditd.service
-
- [Service]
- ExecStartPre=-/bin/rm -f /dev/shm/db /dev/shm/global_vm /dev/shm/vpe-api
- ExecStartPre=-/sbin/modprobe uio_pci_generic
- ExecStart=/usr/bin/vpp -c /etc/vpp/startup.conf
- Type=simple
- Restart=on-failure
- RestartSec=5s
-
- [Install]
- WantedBy=multi-user.target
-
-.. note::
-
- Some older versions of the *'uio_pci_generic'* driver don't bind all
- the supported NICs properly, so the *'igb_uio'* driver built from DPDK
- needs to be installed. This file controls which driver is loaded at boot.
- *'startup.conf'* file controls which driver is used.
