LIBVDEPLUG_VXVDE(1) General Commands Manual LIBVDEPLUG_VXVDE(1) NAME libvdeplug_vxvde - vdeplug module for vde_switch based networks SYNOPSIS libvdeplug_vxvde.so DESCRIPTION This is the libvdeplug module to join vxvde networks. Vxvde is a dis- tributed implementation of virtual networks. There is no need for extra processes like virtual switches. This module of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like vde_plug, kvm, qemu, user-mode-linux and virtualbox. The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following: vxvde://[multicast_addr][/OPTION][/OPTION] If multicast_addr is omitted libvdeplug_vxvde uses the default ad- dresses: 239.0.0.1 for IPv4 and ff05:56de::1 for IPv6. OPTIONS v4 use IPv4 v6 use IPv6 port=PORT define the multicast port (default value 14789) vni=VNI define the virtual network identifier (default value 1). (a group name can be used as VNI, in that case the vni is the group id). ttl=TTL define the time-to-live (default value 1). grp=group_name_or_number Set the VNI and the last three bytes of the IP address to the group id. hashsize=HASHSIZE set the size of the hash table for packet switching expiretime=EXPIRETIME set the maximum age in seconds of valid packet switching entries if=INTERFACE set the (real) network interface to use. EXAMPLES vxvde://239.0.0.1 This vde_plug_url refers to the vxvde network defined on the multicast address 239.0.0.1, vni=1. Programs using vxvde://ff15::3/port=12345/vni=42 join the same vxvde network defined by the multicast address ff15::1, port 12345, vni is 42.
