Hello,
I have built VPP 18.07 according to the instructions from this page: How to Build VPP FD.IO Development Environment with Mellanox DPDK PMD for ConnectX-4 and ConnectX-5 https://community.mellanox.com/s/article/how-to-build-vpp-fd-io--160--development-environment-with-mellanox-dpdk-pmd-for-connectx-4-and-connectx-5
VPP recognizes Mellanox ports, but it hangs after “up” command applied to one of those ports.
VPP log (/var/log/vpp/vpp.log) shows no errors.
Is VPP 18.07 compatible with ConnectX-4?
Thank you.

Hi Garegin,
Many thanks for reaching out to the Mellanox Community.
As the ConnectX-4 is using the same mlx5 PMD driver as the ConnectX-5, the ConnectX-4 is supported for using with VPP.
For VPP support, please refer to the VPP Mailings list.
Many thanks.

The link above on how to build VPP with Mellanox DPDK PMD doesn’t work anymore. I am actually having an issue with ConnectX-6 NIC card. Are there any new instructions for this?
Thanks.
