NAME
vdeq - Virtual Distributed Ethernet wrapper for QEMU virtual machinesSYNOPSIS
vdeq qemu ... qemu options ... -net vde[,vlan=n][,sock=socketpath][,port=n] ... other qemu options ...vde{qemu_name} ... qemu options ... -net vde[,vlan=n][,sock=socketpath][,port=n] ... other qemu options ...
OLD SYNOPSIS
vdeq qemu [ -m octalmode ] [ -sock socketpath [ ,socketpath [ ,... ] ] ] [ qemu_args ]vde{qemu_name} [ -sock socketpath [ ,socketpath [ ,... ] ] ] [ qemu_args ]
DESCRIPTION
vdeq is a wrapper to start a QEMU virtual machine connected to a VDE network. It uses the qemu -tun-fd parameter to set up the connection with a vde_switch.The command
vdeq qemu -b c -hda=sampledisk
It is also possible to create symbolic links to the vdeq executable to have a simpler command. If the link has a name that begins with vde the remaning part of the name is taken as the qemu command. For example if vdeq is linked to vdeqemu:
vdeqemu -b c -hda=sampledisk
The new syntax is consistent with the new Qemu 0.8.0 network parameters. Using vdeq is possible to specify a vde interface in the same way as user,tap or socket interfaces. The sock= parameter can be used to use a specific socket. Please note that what qemu names as vlan is not related to the 802.1q VLAN managed by the vde_switch. port= can be used to specify the port of the switch, otherwise the first allocatable port is assigned. The following command run a qemu VM with two ethernet interface connected to the standard switch and to the switch with local socket "/tmp/my.ctl", port 10, respectively
vde qemu -net nic,vlan=0 -net nic,vlan=1 -net vde,vlan=0 -net vde,vlan=1,sock=/tmp/my.ctl,port=10
vdeqemu -net nic,vlan=0 -net nic,vlan=1 -net vde,vlan=0 -net vde,vlan=1,sock=/tmp/my.ctl,port=10
The old syntax can be used with Qemu 0.8.0 but all the vde interfaces are assigned to vlan 0.
vdeq qemu -sock /tmp/vde.ctl,/tmp/my.ctl -b c -hda=sampledisk
vdeqemu -sock /tmp/vde.ctl,/tmp/my.ctl -b c -hda=sampledisk
OPTIONS
- -m, --mod
- octalmode, specify the mode for comm socket.
- -sock
- socketpath, specify the UNIX socket to be used by local programs for joining the VDE. The default value is "/tmp/vde.ctl" It is also possible to indicate several socketpath (comma separated, no blanks): in this case several interfaces are defined. The first socketpath is connected to the first ne2k interface and so on.
- -h, -help, --help
- print a Usage help.
NOTE
Qemu has changed its syntax for networking (cvs Nov.15 2005). As a temporary solution use vdeoq and vdeoqemu instead of vdeq and vdeqemu if you are running a qemu with the old syntax.NOTICE
