.. vhost:
.. toctree::
.. note:: For a complete list of CLI Debug commands refer to the Debug CLI section of the `Source Code Documents <https://docs.fd.io/vpp/18.07/clicmd.html>`_ .
.. _createvhostuser:
Create Vhost-User
=================
Create a vHost User interface. Once created, a new virtual interface
will exist with the name '*VirtualEthernet0/0/x*', where '*x*' is the
next free index.
There are several parameters associated with a vHost interface:
- **socket <*socket-filename*>** - Name of the linux socket used by
hypervisor and VPP to manage the vHost interface. If in '*server*'
mode, VPP will create the socket if it does not already exist. If in
'*client*' mode, hypervisor will create the socket if it does not
already exist. The VPP code is indifferent to the file location.
However, if SELinux is enabled, then the socket needs to be created
in '*/var/run/vpp/*'.
- **server** - Optional flag to indicate that VPP should be the server
for the linux socket. If not provided, VPP will be the client. In
'*server*' mode, the VM can be reset without tearing down the vHost
Interface. In '*client*' mode, VPP can be reset without bringing down
the VM and tearing down the vHost Interface.
- **feature-mask <hex>** - Optional virtio/vhost feature set negotiated
at startup. **This is intended for degugging only.** It is
recommended that this parameter not be used except by experienced
users. By default, all supported features will be advertised.
Otherwise, provide the set of features desired.
- 0x000008000 (15) - VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF
- 0x000020000 (17) - VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ
- 0x000200000 (21) - VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE
- 0x000400000 (22) - VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ
- 0x004000000 (26) - VHOST_F_LOG_ALL
- 0x008000000 (27) - VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT
- 0x010000000 (28) - VIRTIO_F_INDIRECT_DESC
- 0x040000000 (30) - VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES
- 0x100000000 (32) - VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1
- **hwaddr <mac-addr>** - Optional ethernet address, can be in either
X:X:X:X:X:X unix or X.X.X cisco format.
- **renumber <dev_instance>** - Optional parameter which allows the
instance in the name to be specified. If instance already exists,
name will be used anyway and multiple instances will have the same
name. Use with caution.
Summary/Usage
-------------
.. code-block:: shell
create vhost-user socket <socket-filename> [server] [feature-mask <hex>] [hwaddr <mac-addr>] [renumber <dev_instance>]
Examples
--------
Example of how to create a vhost interface with VPP as the client
and all features enabled:
.. code-block:: console
vpp# create vhost-user socket /var/run/vpp/vhost1.sock
VirtualEthernet0/0/0
Example of how to create a vhost interface with VPP as the server
and with just multiple queues enabled:
.. code-block:: console
vpp# create vhost-user socket /var/run/vpp/vhost2.sock server feature-mask 0x40400000
VirtualEthernet0/0/1
Once the vHost interface is created, enable the interface using:
.. code-block:: console
vpp# set interface state VirtualEthernet0/0/0 up
.. _showvhost:
Show Vhost-User
===============
Display the attributes of a single vHost User interface (provide
interface name), multiple vHost User interfaces (provide a list of
interface names seperated by spaces) or all Vhost User interfaces (omit
an interface name to display all vHost interfaces).
Summary/Usage
-------------
.. code-block:: shell
show vhost-user [<interface> [<interface> [..]]] [descriptors].

-------------
.. code-block:: shell
delete vhost-user {<interface> | sw_if_index <sw_idx>}
Examples
--------
Example of how to delete a vhost interface by name:
.. code-block:: console
vpp# delete vhost-user VirtualEthernet0/0/1
Example of how to delete a vhost interface by software interface index:
.. code-block:: console
vpp# delete vhost-user sw_if_index 1
