+Here is an example guiding how to use `launch_online_dp.py` to launch external dp server in vllm. User can easily launch external dp server following the steps below:
+
+### Modify parameters in `run_dp_template.sh`
+`run_dp_template.sh` is an template script used to launch each dp vllm instance separately. It will be called by `launch_online_dp.py` in multi threads and most of its configurations are set by `launch_online_dp.py`. Parameters you need to set manually include:
+
+1. The IP and socket_ifname of your machine. If running on multi-nodes, please make sure the scripts on each node has been set with correct IP and socket_ifname of that node.
+2. vLLM serving related parameters including model_path and other configurations. Note that port, dp-related parammeters and tp_size is set by `launch_online_dp.py`, all the other vLLM parameters in this file only serve as an example and you are free to modify them according to your purpose.
+
+### Run `launch_online_dp.py` with CL arguments
+All the arguments that can be set by users are:
+
+1. `--dp-size`: global data parallel size, must be set
+2. `--tp-size`: tensor parallel size, default 1
+3. `--dp-size-local`: local data parallel size, defaultly set to `dp_size`
+4. `--dp-rank-start`: Starting rank for data parallel, default 0
+5. `--dp-address`: IP address of data parallel master node
+6. `--dp-rpc-port`: Port of data parallel master node, default 12345
+7. `--vllm-start-port`: Starting port of vLLM serving instances, default 9000
+
+An example of running external DP in one single node:
+```(python)
+cd examples/external_online_dp
+# running DP4 TP4 in a node with 16 NPUs
+python launch_online_dp.py --dp-size 4 --tp-size 4 --dp-size-local 4 --dp-rank-start 0 --dp-address x.x.x.x --dp-rpc-port 12342
+```
+
+An example of running external DP in two nodes:
+```(python)
+cd examples/external_online_dp
+# running DP4 TP4 in two nodes with 8 NPUs each
+
+# On node 0:
+python launch_online_dp.py --dp-size 4 --tp-size 4 --dp-size-local 2 --dp-rank-start 0 --dp-address x.x.x.x --dp-rpc-port 12342
+
+# On node 1:
+python launch_online_dp.py --dp-size 4 --tp-size 4 --dp-size-local 2 --dp-rank-start 2 --dp-address x.x.x.x --dp-rpc-port 12342
+```
