Overview

Puppet module that installs and configures FD.io projects VPP and Honeycomb Agent.

Module Description

Deploys FD.io projects to various OSs via package.

All configuration should be handled through the Puppet module's params.

Setup

What fdio affects

• VPP, a packet processing platform.
• Honeycomb, a management agent for VPP.

Usage

The most basic usage, passing no parameters to the fdio class, will install and start VPP with a default configuration.

class { 'fdio':
}

Set uio-driver

To set the uio-driver use the vpp_dpdk_uio_driver param.

class { 'fdio':
  vpp_dpdk_devs => ['0000:00:07.0'],
  vpp_dpdk_uio_driver => 'vfio_pci',
}
