Re: [vpp-dev] Running CLI against named vpp instance

[Dave Wallace]

Ed,

vppctl already has a command line arg (-s) which allows the user to 
specify a specific socket pathname which must be the same as the 
"cli-listen <pathname>" configuration in a given vpp instance.  Adding a 
naming convention to both vpp and vppctl is going to over-complicate the 
matter.

Thanks,

Dave,

I think we would need to be sure that different vpp instances have 
different cli-listen socket files, and that vppctl has a mechanism to 
address them easily.

I'd suggest a pattern like

"unix { cli-listen /run/vpp.cli-${prefix}.sock"

and

vppctl -p ${prefix}

to be in line with current usage.

    Marek,

    Please check the vpp startup configuration (/etc/vpp/startup.conf)
    to ensure that "unix { cli-listen /run/vpp/cli.sock }" is
    present.  This is the default socket used by the 'c'
    implementation of vppctl.

    I'm going to fix the error message to output the socket file name
    to make this easier to debug.

    Thanks,

    Marek,

    What is the uid/gid of /dev/shm/vpe-api ?

    root/vpp

    Is the user a member of the vpp group?
    yes


    Does your VPP workspace include the patch c900ccc34 "Enabled gid
    vpp in startup.conf to allow non-root vppctl access" ?
    yes (I’ve built master with HEAD @ 809bc74, also tested
    corresponding package from nexus)


    Thanks,

        Hi,

        I am having problems with running CLI against named vpp
        instance (g809bc74):

        sudo vpp api-segment { prefix vpp0 }

        sudo vppctl -p vpp0 show int

        clib_socket_init: connect: Connection refused

        But ps shows vpp process is running.

        It worked with 17.07.

        Is it no longer supported or I need some additional
        configuration?

        Regards,

        Marek
