NAME

       vde_l3 - Virtual Distributed Ethernet 'Layer 3' Switch.

SYNOPSIS

       vde_l3 -v vde_plug:ipaddress/netmask [-v...]  [-r target_network/netmask: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 address ipaddress and netmask netmask. Please note that the netmask 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 target_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.

NAME

       /etc/network/interfaces (vlan) - vlan extensions for the interfaces(5) file format

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/network/interfaces	contains  network  interface  configuration  information  for  the  ifup(8)  and ifdown(8) commands.  This manpage
       describes the vlan extensions to the standard interfaces(5) file format.

       Primary extensions exist to make and destroy vlan interfaces, secondary extensions exist for ipv4 interface manipulation which  are  gener-
       ally needed when using (a lot of) vlans.

VLAN CREATION

       Vlan  interface	definitions  exist  of the vlan interface name, and an optional 'raw-device' parameter.  Vlan interfaces are numbered 1 to
       4095.  You have the option to have interface names zero-padded to 4 numbers, or just the plain digits without leading zero.  The  following
       example shows four ways to create a vlan with id 1 on interface eth0.  They all result in different names.

	iface eth0.1 inet static
	    address 192.168.1.1
	    netmask 255.255.255.0

	iface vlan1 inet static
	    vlan-raw-device eth0
	    address 192.168.1.1
	    netmask 255.255.255.0

	iface eth0.0001 inet static
	    address 192.168.1.1
	    netmask 255.255.255.0

	iface vlan0001 inet static
	    vlan-raw-device eth0
	    address 192.168.1.1
	    netmask 255.255.255.0

	# We don't have br support out of the box
	iface br0.2 inet static
	    vlan-raw-device br0
	    address 192.168.1.1
	    netmask 255.255.255.0

	# Aliases are ignored
	iface br0.2:1 inet static
	    address 192.168.1.1
	    netmask 255.255.255.255

EXTRA IFACE OPTIONS

       Usually someone who uses vlans also wants to do some other manipulations with the ip stack or interface.

       vlan-raw-device devicename
	      Indicates the device to create the vlan on.  This is ignored when the devicename is part of the vlan interface name.

       ip-proxy-arp 0|1
	      Turn proxy-arp off or on for this specific interface.  This also works on plain ethernet like devices.

       ip-rp-filter 0|1|2
	      Set the return path filter for this specific interface.  This also works on plain ethernet like devices.

       hw-mac-address mac-address
	      This sets the mac address of the interface before bringing it up.  This works on any device that allows setting the hardware address
	      with the ip command.
