.. toctree::
.. _vhost01:
Prerequisites
-------------
For this use case we will assume FD.io VPP is installed. We will also assume the user can create and start
basic virtual machines. This use case will use the linux virsh commands. For more information on virsh
refer to `virsh man page <https://linux.die.net/man/1/virsh>`_.
The image that we use is based on an Ubuntu cloud image downloaded from:
`Ubuntu Cloud Images <https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/current>`_.
All FD.io VPP commands are being run from a su shell.
.. _vhosttopo:
Topology
---------
In this case we will use 2 systems. One system we will be running standard linux, the other will
be running FD.io VPP.

Vhost Use Case Topology
Creating The Virtual Interface
------------------------------
We will start on the system running FD.io VPP and show that no Virtual interfaces have been created.
We do this using the :ref:`showintcommand` command.
Notice we do not have any virtual interfaces. We do have an interface (TenGigabitEthernet86/0/0) that
is up. This interface is connected to a system running, in our example standard linux. We will use
this system to verify our connectivity to our VM with ping.
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo bash
# vppctl
_______ _ _ _____ ___
__/ __/ _ \ (_)__ | | / / _ \/ _ \
_/ _// // / / / _ \ | |/ / ___/ ___/
/_/ /____(_)_/\___/ |___/_/ /_/
vpp# clear interfaces
vpp# show int
Name Idx State Counter Count
TenGigabitEthernet86/0/0 1 up
TenGigabitEthernet86/0/1 2 down
local0 0 down
vpp#
For more information on the interface commands refer to: :ref:`intcommands`
The next step will be to create the virtual port using the ``createvhostuser`` command.
This command will create the virtual port in VPP and create a linux socket that the VM will
use to connect to VPP.
The port can be created using VPP as the socket server or client.
Creating the VPP port:
.. code-block:: console
vpp# create vhost socket /tmp/vm00.sock
VirtualEthernet0/0/0
vpp# show int
Name Idx State Counter Count
TenGigabitEthernet86/0/0 1 up
TenGigabitEthernet86/0/1 2 down
VirtualEthernet0/0/0 3 down
local0 0 down
vpp#
Notice the interface **VirtualEthernet0/0/0**. In this example we created the virtual interface as
a client.
We can get more detail on the vhost connection with the ``showvhost`` command.
.. code-block:: console
vpp# show vhost

Notice **No such file or directory** and **Memory regions (total 0)**. This is because the
VM has not been created yet.
