# VPP Containerlab Docker image
|
|
|
|
This docker container creates a VPP instance based on the latest release.
|
|
It starts up as per normal, using /etc/vpp/startup.conf (which Containerlab
|
|
will replace), and once started, it'll execute /etc/vpp/bootstrap.vpp within
|
|
the dataplane. There are three relevant files:
|
|
|
|
1. manual-pre.vpp -- can be supplied by the user, to run any configuration
|
|
statements before containerlab takes control.
|
|
1. clab.vpp -- generated by containerlab. It will bind the vethpair interfaces
|
|
into the dataplane.
|
|
1. manual-post.vpp -- can be supplied by the user, to run any configuration
|
|
statements after containerlab is finished with its per-lab statements.
|
|
|
|
