+
+Connecting the two Containers
+_____________________________
+
+Now for connecting these two linux containers to VPP and pinging between them.
+
+Enter container *cone*, and check the current network configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@cone:/# ip -o a
+ 1: lo inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo\ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ 1: lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host \ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ 30: veth0 inet 10.0.3.157/24 brd 10.0.3.255 scope global veth0\ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ 30: veth0 inet6 fe80::216:3eff:fee2:d0ba/64 scope link \ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ 32: veth_link1 inet6 fe80::2c9d:83ff:fe33:37e/64 scope link \ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+
+You can see that there are three network interfaces, *lo, veth0*, and *veth_link1*.
+
+Notice that *veth_link1* has no assigned IP.
+
+Check if the interfaces are down or up:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@cone:/# ip link
+ 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1
+ link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
+ 30: veth0@if31: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
+ link/ether 00:16:3e:e2:d0:ba brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0
+ 32: veth_link1@if33: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
+ link/ether 2e:9d:83:33:03:7e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0
+
+.. _networkNote:
+
+.. note::
+
+ Take note of the network index for **veth_link1**. In our case, it 32, and its parent index (the host machine, not the containers) is 33, shown by **veth_link1@if33**. Yours will most likely be different, but **please take note of these index's**.
+
+Make sure your loopback interface is up, and assign an IP and gateway to veth_link1.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@cone:/# ip link set dev lo up
+ root@cone:/# ip addr add 172.16.1.2/24 dev veth_link1
+ root@cone:/# ip link set dev veth_link1 up
+ root@cone:/# dhclient -r
+ root@cone:/# ip route add default via 172.16.1.1 dev veth_link1
+
+Here, the IP is 172.16.1.2/24 and the gateway is 172.16.1.1.
+
+Run some commands to verify the changes:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@cone:/# ip -o a
+ 1: lo inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo\ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ 1: lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host \ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ 30: veth0 inet6 fe80::216:3eff:fee2:d0ba/64 scope link \ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ 32: veth_link1 inet 172.16.1.2/24 scope global veth_link1\ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ 32: veth_link1 inet6 fe80::2c9d:83ff:fe33:37e/64 scope link \ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+
+ root@cone:/# route
+ Kernel IP routing table
+ Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
+ default 172.16.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 veth_link1
+ 172.16.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 veth_link1
+
+
+We see that the IP has been assigned, as well as our default gateway.
+
+Now exit this container and repeat this process with container *ctwo*, except with IP 172.16.2.2/24 and gateway 172.16.2.1.
+
+
+After thats done for *both* containers, exit from the container if you're in one:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@ctwo:/# exit
+ exit
+ root@localhost:~#
+
+In the machine running the containers, run **ip link** to see the host *veth* network interfaces, and their link with their respective *container veth's*.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@localhost:~# ip link

+
+
+Remember our network interface index 32 in *cone* from this :ref:`note <networkNote>`? We can see at the bottom the name of the 33rd index **vethQL7KOC@if32**. Keep note of this network interface name for the veth connected to *cone* (ex. vethQL7KOC), and the other network interface name for *ctwo*.
+
+With VPP in the host machine, show current VPP interfaces:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@localhost:~# vppctl show inter
+ Name Idx State MTU (L3/IP4/IP6/MPLS) Counter Count
+ local0 0 down 0/0/0/0
+
+Which should only output local0.
+
+Based on the names of the network interfaces discussed previously, which are specific to my systems, we can create VPP host-interfaces:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@localhost:~# vppctl create host-interface name vethQL7K0C
+ root@localhost:~# vppctl create host-interface name veth8NA72P
+
+Verify they have been set up properly:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@localhost:~# vppctl show inter
+ Name Idx State MTU (L3/IP4/IP6/MPLS) Counter Count
+ host-vethQL7K0C 1 down 9000/0/0/0
+ host-veth8NA72P 2 down 9000/0/0/0
+ local0 0 down 0/0/0/0
+
+Which should output *three network interfaces*, local0, and the other two host network interfaces linked to the container veth's.
+
+
+Set their state to up:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@localhost:~# vppctl set interface state host-vethQL7K0C up
+ root@localhost:~# vppctl set interface state host-veth8NA72P up
+
+Verify they are now up:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@localhost:~# vppctl show inter
+ Name Idx State MTU (L3/IP4/IP6/MPLS) Counter Count
+ host-vethQL7K0C 1 up 9000/0/0/0
+ host-veth8NA72P 2 up 9000/0/0/0
+ local0 0 down 0/0/0/0
+
+
+Add IP addresses for the other end of each veth link:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@localhost:~# vppctl set interface ip address host-vethQL7K0C 172.16.1.1/24
+ root@localhost:~# vppctl set interface ip address host-veth8NA72P 172.16.2.1/24
+
+
+Verify the addresses are set properly by looking at the L3 table:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@localhost:~# vppctl show inter addr
+ host-vethQL7K0C (up):
+ L3 172.16.1.1/24
+ host-veth8NA72P (up):
+ L3 172.16.2.1/24
+ local0 (dn):
+
+Or looking at the FIB by doing:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@localhost:~# vppctl show ip fib
+ ipv4-VRF:0, fib_index:0, flow hash:[src dst sport dport proto ] locks:[src:plugin-hi:2, src:default-route:1, ]

+
+At long last you probably want to see some pings:
+
+.. code-block:: console
