nodaemon
Do not fork or background the VPP process. Typically used when invoking VPP applications from a process monitor.
exec <filename>

log <filename>
Logs the startup configuration and all subsequent CLI commands in filename. Very useful in situations where folks don't remember or can't be bothered to include CLI commands in bug reports.
full-coredump
Ask the Linux kernel to dump all memory-mapped address regions, instead of just text+data+bss.
cli-listen <address:port>
Bind the CLI to listen at the address and port given. on TCP port 5002, given as cli-listen localhost:5002, is typical.

cli-pager-buffer-limit <nn>
