## VPP Configuration File
The `-vppcfg` flag accepts a YAML configuration file that describes VPP interfaces and their descriptions. This file is used to populate the `ifAlias` (.18) field in the ifXTable with meaningful interface descriptions.
### YAML Format Example
```yaml
interfaces:
GigabitEthernet82/0/0:
description: 'Infra: Management interface'
TenGigabitEthernet1/0/2:
description: 'Infra: Core uplink'
sub-interfaces:
100:
description: 'Cust: Customer VLAN 100'
200:
description: 'Transit: Provider VLAN 200'
loopbacks:
loop0:
description: 'Core: Router loopback'
```
### Description Mapping
- **Main interfaces**: Use the `description` field directly
- **Sub-interfaces**: Use the `description` field from the `sub-interfaces` section
- **Loopbacks**: Use the `description` field from the `loopbacks` section
- **Fallback**: If no description is found, the interface name is used as the alias
## SNMP Interface Mapping
VPP interfaces are mapped to SNMP indices with a configurable offset (default 1000):
