VDE_L3(1) General Commands Manual VDE_L3(1) NAME vde_l3 - Virtual Distributed Ethernet 'Layer 3' Switch. SYNOPSIS vde_l3 -v vde_plug:ipaddress/netmask [-v...] [-r target_network/net- mask:gateway] [-G default_gw] [-M mgmt_socket] DESCRIPTION A vde_l3 connects to one or more vde_switches, performing ip forwarding among its virtual interfaces. A new interface is created at startup for each -v option given at command line. Static routes to target networks can be defined using the -r option. vde_l3 -v /var/run/s1.ctl:192.168.0.1/24 connects to the vde sock at /var/run/s1.ctl with its virtual interface ve0, having the address 192.168.0.1 and netmask 255.255.255.0. vde_l3 \ -v /var/run/s1.ctl:192.168.0.1/24 \ -v /var/run/s2.ctl:10.0.0.254/255.255.0.0 connects to the two vde socks, with its virtual interfaces ve0 and ve1, having addressess 192.168.1.0 and 10.0.0.254 respectively. Hosts in each network can specify the vde_l3 as their gateway to reach the other one. OPTIONS -v vde_plug:ipaddress/netmask Creates a virtual network interfaces on the vde_l3 box, with ad- dress ipaddress and netmask netmask. Please note that the net- mask can be specified either in the 'classic' A.B.C.D mode, or just by giving the number of leading bits (f.e., /17 for 255.255.128.0). One can define as many interfaces as she wants. -r target_network/netmask:gateway Specify a static route through gateway to reach hosts in tar- get_network with netmask netmask. One can define as many routes as she wants. -G default_gw Specify a default gateway, to be used whenever no static route is defined for a target host. -M mgmt_socket the unix socket where the parameters (interfaces addresses, routes, etc.) can be checked and changed runtime. unixterm(1) can be used as a remote terminal for wirefilter.
