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
starts a qemu machine which boots from the sampledisk image and
has a ne2000 ethernet interface connected to the standard vde_switch.
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
starts qemu as above.
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
both start qemu with two ethernet interface connected to the standard switch and
to the switch with local socket "/tmp/my.ctl" respectively
OPTIONS
- -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.
