Below is an automated shell script for Debian 12.11.0-amd64 that installs and configures VPP (Vector Packet Processing) with the requested features. The script handles dependencies, VPP installation, basic configuration, and service setup:

Key Features Configured:
Core Networking:
DPDK acceleration with multi-queue support
IPv4/IPv6 forwarding
Specialized Plugins:
PPPoE (
pppoe_plugin.so
)MPLS (
mpls_plugin.so
)CGNAT (
cnat_plugin.so
)L2 Ethernet (
l2e_plugin.so
)AAA (
aaa_plugin.so
)
Performance:
Dedicated CPU core for packet processing
Debugging/tracing enabled
Security:
Linux kernel forwarding hardening
Isolated API segment
Usage:
# 1. Make executable: chmod +x vpp_installer.sh # 2. Run as root: sudo ./vpp_installer.sh # 3. Access CLI: vppctl
Post-Install Steps:
Configure Interfaces:
vppctl create host-interface name eth0 vppctl set int state host-eth0 up
Enable Features (examples):
PPPoE Server:
create pppoe server intfc eth0
MPLS Routing:
mpls local-label add 100 eos via ip4-lookup
CGNAT Pools:
cnat translation add external 203.0.113.1 internal 10.0.0.0/24
Notes:
Default config uses CPU core 0 - modify
main-core
instartup.conf
for your topologyPPPoE/AAA require additional credential configuration
Security policies require ACL implementation via
acl_plugin
For BRAS functionality: Combine AAA + PPPoE + Subscriber policies

This provides a production-ready foundation with all requested features enabled. Customize the startup.conf
and CLI configurations for your specific topology and requirements. - for support Mail on - nikhil.tare@gmail.com
