2. Check the Link IP's using the REST API (vCGNAPT/vACL/vFW)
-e.g curl <IP>/vnf/config/link
-This would indicate the number of links enabled. You should enable all the links
-by using following curl command for links 0 & 1
+ ::
+ e.g curl <IP>/vnf/config/link

+ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"ipv4":"IP to be configured","depth":"24"}'
+ http://<IP>/vnf/config/link/1
-Once the IP's are set in place time to add NHIP for ARP Table. This is done using for all the ports
-required.
-/vnf/config/route
+ Once the IP's are set in place time to add NHIP for ARP Table. This is done using for all the ports required.

+While PROX is running, F1 to F6 change the view on the system. Pressing F1 switches to the main screen showing per core statistics. When PROX is started,
+this is the screen shown by default. Pressing F2 switches to show port-based information. Pressing F3 shows information (i.e. occupancy, memory usage, ...)
+about memory pools. If there are tasks with mode=lat, F4 displays latency measurements made during the last second by each of those tasks.
+F5 displays DPDK ring information. F6 is for L4 generation. If no command has been entered, numbers 1 to 6 can also be used to change the view on the system.
+This is provided to allow changing screens in environments that do not pass function keys to PROX.
+
+Page Up and Page Down can be used to view per core statistics that would otherwise not fit on the screen. Escape quits PROX.
+The history of previously entered commands can be navigated using the Up and Down arrows. Statistics can be reset with F12.

+
+CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
+-------------------------
+The configuration file is divided into multiple sections, each of which is used to define some parameters and options.
+Sections are created using the [section name] syntax. The list of sections, where # represents an integer, is as follows:
+
+::
+ [eal options]
+ [port #]
+ [variables]
+ [defaults]
+ [global]
+ [core #]
+
+In each section, entries are created using the key=value syntax.
+Comments are created using the ; symbol: all characters from the ;
+symbol to the end of line are ignored. A # symbol at the beginning of the section name comments
+the whole section out: all entries in the section are treated as comments and are ignored. For example:
+
+::
+ [#core 1]
+ ; this is a comment
+ parameter name=parameter value ; this entry is ignored because the section is commented out
+
+[EAL OPTIONS]
+The following parameters are supported:
+
+::
+ -m ; Specifies the amount of memory used. If not provided, all hugepages will be used.
+ -n ; Specifies the number of memory channels. Use -n4 for latest Intel Xeon based platforms
+ -r ; Specifies the number of memory ranks.
+ eal ; Specifies DPDK EAL extra options. Those options will be passed blindly to DPDK.
+
+[PORT #]
+DPDK ports are usually referenced by their port_id, i.e. an integer starting from 0.
+Using port_id in the configuration file is tedious, since the same port_id can appear at
+different places (rx port, tx port, routing tables),
+and those ports might change (e.g. if cables are swapped).
+In order to make the configuration file easier to read and modify,
+DPDK ports are given a name with the name= option.
+The name serves as the reference, and in addition, it will show up in the display at runtime.
+
+::
+ PARAMETER EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ name inet0 Use inet0 to later refer to this port
+ mac hardware value can be: hardware, random or a literal MAC address
+ rx desc 256 number of descriptors to allocate for reception
+ tx desc 256 number of descriptors to allocate for transmission
+ promiscuous yes enable promiscuous mode
+ strip crc yes enable CRC stripping
+ rss yes enable RSS
+ lsc no While lsc is disabled for drivers known to not provide support,
+ this option explicitely overrides these settings.
+ rx_ring dpdk_ring_name use DPDK ring as an interface (receive side)
+ tx_ring dpdk_ring_name use DPDK ring as an interface (transmit side)
+
+[VARIABLES]
+Variables can be defined in the configuration file using the $varname=value syntax.
+Variables defined on the command line (-w varname=value) take precedence and do not
+create conflicts with variables defined in the configuration file. Variables are
+used in the configuration file using the $varname syntax: each instance of $varname
+is replaced by its associated value. This is typically useful if the same parameter
+must be used at several places. For instance, you might want to have multiple load
+balancers, all transmitting to the same set of worker cores.
+The list of worker cores could then be defined once in a variable:
+
+::
+ [variables]
+ $wk=1s0-5s0
+
+Then, a load balancer definition would use the variable:
+
+::
+ [core 6s0]
+ name=LB
+ task=0
+ mode=lbnetwork
+ tx cores=$wk task=0
+ ...
+
+And the section defining the worker cores would be:
+
+::
+ [core $wk]
+ name=worker
+ task=0
+ mode=qinqencapv4
+ ...
+
+[DEFAULTS]
+The default value of some options can be overridden using the [defaults] section:
+
+::
+ PARAMETER EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
+ -----------------------------------
+ mempool size 16K number of mbufs per task, relevant when task receives from a port.
+ this is the n argument provided to rte_mempool_create()
+ qinq tag 0xa888 Set qinq tag for all tasks. The result of adding this option is the
+ same as adding qinq tag= to each task
+ memcache size 128 number of mbufs cached per core, default is 256 this is the cache_size
+ argument provided to rte_mempool_create()
+
+[GLOBAL]
+The following parameters are supported:
+
+::
+ PARAMETER EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
+ -------------------------------------------------
+ name BNG Name of the configuration, which will be shown in the title box at runtime.
+ start time 10 Time in seconds after which average statistics will be started.
+ Default value is 0.
+ duration time 30 Runtime duration in seconds, counted after start time.
+ This is typically useful to automate testing using
+ different parameters: PROX automatically exits when the
+ runtime duration has elapsed. Initialization and start time
+ are not included in this runtime duration.
+ For example, if start time is set to 10 and duration time is set to 30,
+ the total execution time (after initialization) will be 40 seconds.
+ Default value is 0, which means infinity and prevents PROX from automatically exiting.
+ shuffle yes When this parameter is set to yes, the order of mbufs
+ within mempools is randomized to simulate a system that has
+ been warmed up. Default value is no.
+ gre cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides QinQ-to-GRE mapping.
+ Default value is gre_table.csv in same directory as
+ configuration file. Fields are GRE key and QinQ value (computed as SVLAN * 4096 + CVLAN).
+ pre cmd ls Arbitrary system commands to run while reading cfg. This option can occur multiple times.
+ user cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides QinQ-to-User mapping.
+ Default value is user_table.csv in same directory as configuration file.
+ Fields are SVLAN, CVLAN and User-Id.
+ next hop cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides Next-Hop details.
+ Default value is next_hop.csv in same directory as configuration file.
+ Fields are Next-Hop index (as returned by LPM lookup),
+ Out-Port index, Next-Hop IP (unused), Next-Hop MAC and MPLS label.
+ ipv4 cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides IPv4 LPM routing table.
+ Default value is ipv4.csv in same directory as configuration file.
+ Fields are IPv4 subnet (in CIDR notation) and Next-Hop index.
+ dscp cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides mapping for QoS classification,
+ from DSCP to Traffic Class and Queue.
+ Default value is dscp.csv in same directory as configuration file.
+ Fields are DSCP (0-63), Traffic Class (0-3) and Queue (0-3).
+ ipv6 tunnel cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides lwAFTR binding table.
+ Default value is ipv6_tun_bind.csv in same directory as configuration file.
+ Fields are lwB4 IPv6 address, next hop MAC address towards lwB4,
+ IPv4 Public address and IPv4 Public Port Set.
+ acl cfg /path/to/file.csv Path to CSV file that provides ACL rules.
+ Default value is rules.csv in same directory as configuration file.
+ Fields are SVLAN value & mask, CVLAN value & mask, IP protocol value & mask,
+ source IPv4 subnet (in CIDR notation), destination IPv4 subnet (in CIDR notation),
+ source port range, destination port range, and action (drop, allow, rate limit).
+ unique mempool yes
+ per socket
+
+[CORE #]
+Cores can be configured by means of a set of [core #] sections, where # represents either:
+
+an absolute core number: e.g. on a 10-core, dual socket system with hyper-threading, cores are numbered from 0 to 39;
+a core number, the letter 's', and a socket number: this allows selecting per-socket cores, independently from their interleaved numbering;
+a core number and the letter 'h': this allows selecting the hyper-thread sibling of the specified core;
+a dash-separated range of core numbers;
+a comma-separated list of core numbers;
+any combination of the above;
+or a variable whose value complies with the above syntax.
+The socket and hyper-thread syntax makes it easier to use the same configuration file on several platforms,
+even if their core numbering differs (e.g. interleaving rule or number of cores per socket).
+
+Each core can be assigned with a set of tasks, each running one of the implemented packet processing modes.

+INSTALLATION
+------------
+
+PREREQUISITES
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+DPDK must be installed prior to running make in the PROX directory.
+The README file shipped with PROX describes what versions of DPDK are supported,
+and if any patches are needed for the chosen DPDK version.
+
+The following packages need to be installed. (Example for destributions that are using rpm)
+
+::
+ sudo yum install net-tools wget gcc unzip libpcap-devel ncurses-devel libedit-devel pciutils lua-devel kernel-devel
+ Jump Start
+
+The following instructions are here to help customers to start using PROX.
+It's by no means a complete guide, for detailed instructions on how to install and use
+DPDK please refer to its documentation.
+Your mileage may vary depending on a particular Linux distribution and hardware in use.
+
+Edit grub default configuration:
+
+::
+ vi /etc/default/grub
+
+Add the following to the kernel boot parameters
+
+::
+ default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G hugepages=8
+
+Rebuild grub config and reboot the system:
+
+::
+ grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
+ reboot
+
+Verify that hugepages are available
+
+::
+ cat /proc/meminfo
+ ...
+ HugePages_Total: 8
+ HugePages_Free: 8
+ Hugepagesize: 1048576 kB
+ ...
+
+Re-mount huge pages
+
+::
+ mkdir -p /mnt/huge
+ umount `awk '/hugetlbfs/ { print $2 }' /proc/mounts` >/dev/null 2>&1
+ mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge/
+
+Add the following to the end of ~/.bashrc file
+
+::
+ export RTE_SDK=/root/dpdk
