Setting Up a Node with Multiple NICs
====================================

-  First, configure hardware interfaces in the VPP startup config, as
   described
   `here <https://github.com/contiv/vpp/blob/master/docs/VPP_CONFIG.md#multi-nic-configuration>`__.

-  For each interface owned by Linux, you need to provide individual
   configuration for each interface used by VPP in the Node
   Configuration for the node in the ``contiv-vpp.yaml``. For example,
   if both ``ens3`` and ``ens4`` are known to Linux, then put the
   following stanza into the node’s NodeConfig:

::

   ...
       NodeConfig:
       - NodeName: "ubuntu-1"
         StealInterface: "ens3"
         StealInterface: "ens4"
   ...

If only ``ens3`` is known to Linux, you only put a line for ``ens3``
into the above NodeConfig.
