Creating VPP Files

Use a text editor to create a VPP file. VPP file entries must use the following XML format:

<vppList>
  <vpp>
    <name>nvpp1</name>
      <last-updated>2002-05-30T09:00:00</last-updated>
    <policy>
      <name>policy1</name>
      <direction>ingress</direction>
      <order>1</order>
    </policy>
    <policy>
      <name>policy4</name>
      <direction>ingress</direction>
      <order>4</order>
    </policy>
    <policy>
      <name>epolicy1</name>
      <direction>egress</direction>
      <order>1</order>
    </policy>
    <policy>
      <name>epolicy4</name>
      <direction>egress</direction>
      <order>4</order>
    </policy>
  </vpp>
</vppList>

The VPP file supports up to 400 child nodes, and each VPP entry supports up to eight ingress and four egress ACL (Access Control List) or policies. If multiple policies are defined within a VPP entry for either ingress or egress, the switch uses the policy with the lowest order number. If two ingress or egress policies have the same order number, the switch selects the policy based on which name is lexicographically lower.

To refresh all policies which are all associated and applied to each VPP, use the following command:

refresh policy policy-name

The NVPP policy files must be placed on the repository server as described in Selecting the Repository Server Directory.
