<h2>
|
|
<a name="elements" id="elements">Element and attribute overview</a>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The root element required for all virtual networks is
|
|
named <code>network</code> and has no attributes.
|
|
The network XML format is available <span class="since">since 0.3.0</span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
<a name="elementsMetadata" id="elementsMetadata">General metadata</a>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The first elements provide basic metadata about the virtual
|
|
network.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<network>
|
|
<name>default</name>
|
|
<uuid>3e3fce45-4f53-4fa7-bb32-11f34168b82b</uuid>
|
|
...</pre>
|
|
<dl><dt><code>name</code></dt><dd>The content of the <code>name</code> element provides
|
|
a short name for the virtual network. This name should
|
|
consist only of alpha-numeric characters and is required
|
|
to be unique within the scope of a single host. It is
|
|
used to form the filename for storing the persistent
|
|
configuration file. <span class="since">Since 0.3.0</span></dd><dt><code>uuid</code></dt><dd>The content of the <code>uuid</code> element provides
|
|
a globally unique identifier for the virtual network.
|
|
The format must be RFC 4122 compliant, eg <code>3e3fce45-4f53-4fa7-bb32-11f34168b82b</code>.
|
|
If omitted when defining/creating a new network, a random
|
|
UUID is generated. <span class="since">Since 0.3.0</span></dd></dl>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
<a name="elementsConnect" id="elementsConnect">Connectivity</a>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The next set of elements control how a virtual network is
|
|
provided connectivity to the physical LAN (if at all).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
...
|
|
<bridge name="virbr0" />
|
|
<forward mode="nat" dev="eth0"/>
|
|
...</pre>
|
|
<dl><dt><code>bridge</code></dt><dd>The <code>name</code> attribute on the <code>bridge</code> element
|
|
defines the name of a bridge device which will be used to construct
|
|
the virtual network. The virtual machines will be connected to this
|
|
bridge device allowing them to talk to each other. The bridge device
|
|
may also be connected to the LAN. It is recommended that bridge
|
|
device names started with the prefix <code>vir</code>, but the name
|
|
<code>virbr0</code> is reserved for the "default" virtual network.
|
|
This element should always be provided when defining a new network.
|
|
<span class="since">Since 0.3.0</span>
|
|
</dd><dt><code>forward</code></dt><dd>Inclusion of the <code>forward</code> element indicates that
|
|
the virtual network is to be connected to the physical LAN. If
|
|
no attributes are set, NAT forwarding will be used for connectivity.
|
|
Firewall rules will allow forwarding to any other network device whether
|
|
ethernet, wireless, dialup, or VPN. If the <code>dev</code> attribute
|
|
is set, the firewall rules will restrict forwarding to the named
|
|
device only. If the <code>mode</code> attribute is set to <code>route</code>
|
|
then the traffic will not have NAT applied. This presumes that the
|
|
local LAN router has suitable routing table entries to return traffic
|
|
to this host. <span class="since">Since 0.3.0; 'mode' attribute since
|
|
0.4.2</span></dd></dl>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
<a name="elementsAddress" id="elementsAddress">Addressing</a>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The final set of elements define the IPv4 address range available,
|
|
and optionally enable DHCP sevices.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
...
|
|
<ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">

|

</dhcp>

</ip>
|

</network></pre>
|
|
<dl><dt><code>ip</code></dt><dd>The <code>address</code> attribute defines an IPv4 address in
|
|
dotted-decimal format, that will be configured on the bridge
|
|
device associated with the virtual network. To the guests this
|
|
address will be their default route. The <code>netmask</code>
|
|
attribute defines the significant bits of the network address,
|
|
again specified in dotted-decimal format. <span class="since">Since 0.3.0</span>
|
|
</dd><dt><code>dhcp</code></dt><dd>Immediately within the <code>ip</code> element there is an
|
|
optional <code>dhcp</code> element. The presence of this element
|
|
enables DHCP services on the virtual network. It will further
|
|
contain one or more <code>range</code> elements.
|
|
<span class="since">Since 0.3.0</span>
|
|
</dd><dt><code>range</code></dt><dd>The <code>start</code> and <code>end</code> attributes on the
|
|
<code>range</code> element specify the boundaries of a pool of
|
|
IPv4 addresses to be provided to DHCP clients. These two addresses
|
|
must lie within the scope of the network defined on the parent
|
|
<code>ip</code> element. <span class="since">Since 0.3.0</span>
|
|
</dd><dt><code>host</code></dt><dd>Within the <code>dhcp</code> element there may be zero or more
|
|
<code>host</code> elements; these specify hosts which will be given
|
|
names and predefined IP addresses by the built-in DHCP server. Any
|
|
such element must specify the MAC address of the host to be assigned
|
|
a given name (via the <code>mac</code> attribute), the IP to be
|
|
assigned to that host (via the <code>ip</code> attribute), and the
|
|
name to be given that host by the DHCP server (via the
|
|
<code>name</code> attribute). <span class="since">Since 0.4.5</span>

<p>

This example is the so called "default" virtual network. It is
|
|
provided and enabled out-of-the-box for all libvirt installations.
|
|
This is a configuration that allows guest OS to get outbound
|
|
connectivity regardless of whether the host uses ethernet, wireless,
|
|
dialup, or VPN networking without requiring any specific admin
|
|
configuration. In the absence of host networking, it at least allows
|
|
guests to talk directly to each other.

<h3>
|
|
<a name="examplesRoute" id="examplesRoute">Routed network config</a>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is a variant on the default network which routes traffic
|
|
from the virtual network to the LAN without applying any NAT.
|
|
It requires that the IP address range be pre-configured in the
|
|
routing tables of the router on the host network. This example
|
|
further specifies that guest traffic may only go out via the
|
|
<code>eth1</code> host network device.
|

<h3>
|
|
<a name="examplesPrivate" id="examplesPrivate">Isolated network config</a>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This variant provides a completely isolated private network
|
|
for guests. The guests can talk to each other, and the host
|
|
OS, but cannot reach any other machines on the LAN, due to
|
|
the omission of the <code>forward</code> element in the XML
|
|
description.
