vpctl
Configure a networking interface that connects a hypervisor host and a virtio-net vdev
Syntax:
vpctl iface [peer=peer_path] [bind=bind_path] [mode=access_mode]
[full-header | short-header]
Runs on:
QNX OS
Options:
- iface
-
The name of the networking interface to configure.
- path=peer_path
-
The path of the peer to communicate with.
- bind=bind_path
-
Path to this interface in a peer-to-peer connection (i.e., the peer_path value to set for the other node).
- mode=access_mode
-
The access permissions for the node used for the peer-to-peer connection (e.g.,
0660for read/write). - full-header | short-header
-
Specify short-header to indicate that the virtio_net_header on received packets is 2 bytes smaller because it doesn't have the num_buffers field. This field is present if the peer negotiates VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF or if the peer is VIRTIO 1.0-compliant.
Specify full-header (the default) if the peer is compliant with VIRTIO 1.0 or later, or is VIRTIO 0.9.5-compliant and has negotiated VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF.
Description:
The vpctl utility allows you to configure the network interface that a hypervisor uses to connect to a guest's virtio-net vdev.
