[vde-users] vde2, xen and xl

[wch-tech house-grp.n. <wch...@ho...>]

Hi,

I looked at my previous message as posted and it looks like garbage.  I am
resubmitting using text this time.

Hi,


The description of vde2 fits my needs exactly.


I have opensuse 13.1 running the xen kernel with a few guest machines controlled
by xl.


On this machine I have started a temporary switch per the tutorials and am ready
to connect a vm (linux type).


Since I am using xen and the xl tool stack I have searched the internet a bit,
but I have seen no clear instructions on how to specify a connection to vde2
from the xl command set.


The xl networking docs offer the following parameters to be specified in the
"vif" line:


mac

bridge

gatewaydev

type

model

vifname

script

ip

backend

rate


Is using vde2 this way possible?


If so, are there any examples and instructions about how to do so posted on the
internet?


If so would someone point me to them? (Or post an explanation here?)


(Just occured to me that I need to investigate option "script" above.)


TIA


Bill
