-# Sweetcomb Guide
+Sweetcomb
+========================
-This repository contains a work-in-progress code of the integration of [Sysrepo datastore](https://github.com/sysrepo/sysrepo/) with [VPP](https://fd.io/).
+## Introduction
+
+Sweetcomb is a management agent that runs on the same host as a VPP instance,
+and exposes yang models via NETCONF or RESTCONF or gRPC to allow the management of that VPP instance from out-of-box.
+
+For more information on VPP and its features please visit the
+[Sweetcomb website](https://wiki.fd.io/view/Sweetcomb)
+
+
+## Changes
+
+Details of the changes leading up to this version of Sweetcomb can be found under
+@ref release notes.
+
+
+## Directory layout
+
+| Directory name | Description |
+| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| build-root | Build output directory |
+| @ref src/plugins | Sweetcomb bundled plugins directory |
+| @ref src/scvpp | Sweetcomb to VPP communication |
+
+## Getting started
+
+Firstly, please follow below steps to install dependencies and build code:
+ cd $/sweetcomb/
+ make install-dep
+ make install-dep-extra
+ make install-vpp
+ make build-scvpp
+ make build
+
+Then, please start each daemon one by one:
+ start vpp (for example on Ubuntu: systemctl start vpp)
+ sysrepod
+ sysrepo-plugind
+ netopeer2-server
+ netopeer2-cli
+
+Now you can utilize Sweetcomb.
+
+## Manual Test
+For example, if you want to configure ipv4 address on HW interface TenGigabitEthernet5/0/0,
+You can follow below steps to verify if Sweetcomb is working well.
+
+Firstly, set interface up:
+ vppctl set interface state TenGigabitEthernet5/0/0 up
+
+Then, starting netopeer2-cli on any host:
+ netopeer2-cli
+> connect --host <ip address running Sweetcomb> --login <user>
+> edit-config --target running --config
+## Press Enter and then past below XML example into the editor and quit
+<interfaces xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces">
+ <interface>
+ <name>TenGigabitEthernet5/0/0</name>
+ <description>eth0</description>
+ <type xmlns:ianaift="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-if-type">ianaift:ethernetCsmacd</type>
+ <ipv4 xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ip">
+ <enabled>true</enabled>
+ <mtu>1514</mtu>
+ <address>
+ <ip>192.168.50.72</ip>
+ <prefix-length>24</prefix-length>
+ </address>
+ </ipv4>
+ <enabled>true</enabled>
+ </interface>
+</interfaces>
+
+Finally, check the configuration result.
+ vppctl show interface address
+If you configure above successfully, you will get ip address set up on interface TenGigabitEthernet5/0/0.
-It consists of two components:
-- [srvpp](srvpp/) library that provides convenient API for managing VPP from Sysrepo plugins,
-- [plugins](plugins/) for Sysrepo that provide the VPP management functionality.
