Config plugin

The config plugin is the default management plugin. During boostrap, config plugin reads a configuration file (specified in the command line via -c) and creates the necessary LSIs, attches ports and configures other LSI parameters.

Supported platforms (drivers)

All, as for any management plugin in xDPd.

Requirements

  • libconfig C++ lib (libconfig++-dev in Debian/Ubuntu systems)

Explicit build

Defaut configure already includes config plugin, and it is equivalent to:

sh# ../configure --with-plugins="config" 
sh# make  
sh# make install

config plugin can be combined with other plugins, e.g. rest or xmp. It is not mandatory that config plugins is compiled in, provided that other plugins can perform the initialization tasks (e.g. xmp).

Example config files

Two examples are provided, but not distributed during make install:

  • src/xdpd/management/plugins/config/example.cfg : 1 LSI, simple configuration
  • src/xdpd/management/plugins/config/example_complex.cfg : 2 LSIs running different versions, connected through a vlink, and the majority of optional parameters
