+Creating an Interface
+======================
+
+Skills to be Learned
+--------------------
+
+#. Create a veth interface in Linux host
+#. Assign an IP address to one end of the veth interface in the Linux host
+#. Create a vpp host-interface that connected to one end of a veth interface via AF_PACKET
+#. Add an ip address to a vpp interface
+
+VPP commands learned in this exercise
+--------------------------------------
+
+#. `create host-interface <https://docs.fd.io/vpp/17.04/clicmd_src_vnet_devices_af_packet.html#clicmd_create_host-interface>`_

+Initial State
+--------------
+
+The initial state here is presumed to be the final state from the previous sections
+of the tutorial.
+ 
+Create veth interfaces on host
+-------------------------------
+
+In Linux, there is a type of interface call 'veth'. Think of a 'veth'
+interface as being an interface that has two ends to it (rather than
+one).
+
+Create a veth interface with one end named **vpp1out** and the other
+named **vpp1host**
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  $ sudo ip link add name vpp1out type veth peer name vpp1host
+
+Turn up both ends:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  $ sudo ip link set dev vpp1out up
+  $ sudo ip link set dev vpp1host up
+
+Assign an IP address
+---------------------
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  $ sudo ip addr add 10.10.1.1/24 dev vpp1host
+
+Display the result:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  $ ip addr show vpp1host
+  5: vpp1host@vpp1out: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
+    link/ether e2:0f:1e:59:ec:f7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+    inet 10.10.1.1/24 scope global vpp1host
+       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+    inet6 fe80::e00f:1eff:fe59:ecf7/64 scope link
+       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+
+Create vpp host-interface
+--------------------------
+
+Make sure VPP is running, if not start it.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ ps -eaf | grep vpp
+    vagrant   2141   903  0 05:28 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto vpp
+    # vpp is not running, so start it
+    $ sudo /usr/bin/vpp -c startup1.conf
+
+These commands are run from the vpp shell. Enter the VPP shell with the following
+command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ sudo vppctl -s /run/vpp/cli-vpp1.sock
+        _______    _        _   _____  ___
+     __/ __/ _ \  (_)__    | | / / _ \/ _ \
+     _/ _// // / / / _ \   | |/ / ___/ ___/
+     /_/ /____(_)_/\___/   |___/_/  /_/
+    
+    vpp#
+
+Create a host interface attached to **vpp1out**.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  vpp# create host-interface name vpp1out
+  host-vpp1out
+
+Confirm the interface:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  vpp# show hardware
+                Name                Idx   Link  Hardware
+  host-vpp1out                       1     up   host-vpp1out
+  Ethernet address 02:fe:d9:75:d5:b4
+  Linux PACKET socket interface
+  local0                             0    down  local0
+  local
+
+Turn up the interface:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  vpp# set int state host-vpp1out up
+
+Confirm the interface is up:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  vpp# show int
+                Name               Idx    State  MTU (L3/IP4/IP6/MPLS)     Counter          Count
+  host-vpp1out                      1      up          9000/0/0/0
+  local0                            0     down          0/0/0/0
+
+Assign ip address 10.10.1.2/24
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  vpp# set int ip address host-vpp1out 10.10.1.2/24
+
+Confirm the ip address is assigned:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  vpp# show int addr
+  host-vpp1out (up):
+    L3 10.10.1.2/24
+  local0 (dn):
