NAME

slirpvde - Virtual Distributed Ethernet-Slirp interface

SYNOPSIS

slirpvde [ -sock socketpath ] [ -network netaddr ] [ -dhcp ] [ -L port : vde_host : vde_hostport ] [ -X vde_host [ : display [ . screen ] ] ]
slirpvde [ -s socketpath ] [ -n netaddr ] [ -D ] [ -L port : vde_host : vde_hostport ] [ -X vde_host [ : display [ . screen ] ] ]

DESCRIPTION

slirpvde is a slirp interface for a VDE network.

Slirpvde connects all the units (virtual or real machines) to the network of the host where slirpvde runs as it were a NAT/Masquerading router. The default route is the node 2 (10.0.2.2 in the default network configuration) and DNS is re-mapped in node 3 (10.0.2.3).

Slirpvde runs using standard user privileges (no need for root access): all the connections are re-generated by slirpvde itself.

IPv4 only. IPv6 is still unsupported.

-sock is used to specify the VDE switch (default /tmp/vde.ctl)

-dhcp turns on the dhcp server for the network autoconfiguration of all the units connected to the VDE.

-netaddr is used to specify the network address (default 10.0.2.0).

-L port:vde_host:vde_hostport specifies a port redirection. All the packet received by the host running slirpvde at port port will be forwarded to vde_host at port vde_hostport.

-X vde_host[:display.[screen]] is the option to redirect a X window screen. Slirpvde gets the first unused X display on the host running slirpvde and redirects all the requests to vde_host. display and screen] must be specified when different from :0.0.
