Hi Florin,
In fact, that's what I was already trying. Anyway, I found a way to make it
work but I'm still not sure that's the right/best way to do so.
# vpp1 instance
sudo vpp unix { log /tmp/vpp1.log full-coredump cli-listen
/run/vpp/cli.vpp1.sock } api-segment { prefix vpp1 } api-trace { on } plugins {
plugin dpdk_plugin.so { disable } }
# vpp2 instance
sudo vpp unix { log /tmp/vpp2.log full-coredump cli-listen
/run/vpp/cli.vpp2.sock } api-segment { prefix vpp2 } api-trace { on } plugins {
plugin dpdk_plugin.so { disable } }
# vppctl vpp1
sudo vppctl -s /run/vpp/cli.vpp1.sock <cmd>
# vppctl vpp2
sudo vppctl -s /run/vpp/cli.vpp2.sock <cmd>
Since I build a dynamic topology, I won't use startup config files. That's why
i'm using parameters in command line. Commands above work good, as it mimics
the behavior I had with VPP-lite. But again, is it the right/best way to do so
? Or would there be anything better suited ?

VPP-lite
Hi Justin,
Try api-segment {prefix <fill-in-name>}
