      Using the command line arguments to create a host interface:

       
      cat /etc/vpp/startup.conf
      :
      dpdk {
         no-pci
         vdev eth_af_packet0,iface=vpp1
         vdev eth_af_packet1,iface=vpp2
      }
      

      In the latest code base with the above configuration (and if I change the name to net_af_packet0), the interfaces get created and are able to pass traffic, but the interface name is not correct:

       
      vppctl show interface
                    Name               Idx       State          Counter          Count     
      UnknownEthernet0                  1        down      
      UnknownEthernet1                  2        down      
      local0                            0        down
