-==========================================
-VPP Configuration - CLI and 'startup.conf'
-==========================================
-
-After a successful installation, VPP installs a startup config file named
-*startup.conf* in the */etc/vpp/* directory. This file can be tailored to
-make VPP run as desired, but contains default values for typical installations.
-
-Below are more details about this file and some of the the parameters and values
-it contains.
-
-Command-line Arguments
-----------------------
-
-Before we describe details of the startup configuration file (startup.conf) it
-should be mentioned that VPP can be started without a startup configuration
-file.
-
-Parameters are grouped by a section name. When providing more than one
-parameter to a section, all parameters for that section must be wrapped in
-curly braces. For example, to start VPP with configuration data via the
-command line with the section name *'unix'*:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ sudo /usr/bin/vpp unix { interactive cli-listen 127.0.0.1:5002 }
-
-The command line can be presented as a single string or as several; anything
-given on the command line is concatenated with spaces into a single string
-before parsing. VPP applications must be able to locate their own executable
-images. The simplest way to ensure this will work is to invoke a VPP
-application by giving its absolute path. For example:
-*'/usr/bin/vpp <options>'*  At startup, VPP applications parse through their
-own ELF-sections [primarily] to make lists of init, configuration, and exit
-handlers.
-
-When developing with VPP, in gdb it's often sufficient to start an application
-like this:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    (gdb) run unix interactive
-
-
-Startup Configuration File (startup.conf)
------------------------------------------
-
-The more typical way to specify the startup configuration to VPP is with the
-startup configuration file (startup.conf).
-
-The path of the file is provided to the VPP application on the command line.
-This is typically at /etc/vpp/startup.conf. If VPP is installed as a package
-a default startup.conf file is provided at this location.
-
-The format of the configuration file is a simple text file with the same content
-as the command line.
-
-**A very simple startup.conf file:**
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ cat /etc/vpp/startup.conf
-    unix {
-      nodaemon
-      log /var/log/vpp/vpp.log
-      full-coredump
-      cli-listen localhost:5002
-    }
-
-    api-trace {
-      on
-    }
-
-    dpdk {
-      dev 0000:03:00.0
-    }
-
-VPP is instructed to load this file with the -c option. For example:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ sudo /usr/bin/vpp -c /etc/vpp/startup.conf
-
