There are a 58 docs files, so adding an autogenerated Table Of Contents to them all will take some time. This is the first piece of the work done.

The diagrams below illustrate some of the network configurations
|
|
enabled by the libvirt networking APIs
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>VLAN 1</strong>. This virtual network has connectivity
|
|
to <code>LAN 2</code> with traffic forwarded and NATed.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>VLAN 2</strong>. This virtual network is completely
|
|
isolated from any physical LAN.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Guest A</strong>. The first network interface is bridged
|
|
to the physical <code>LAN 1</code>. The second interface is connected
|
|
to a virtual network <code>VLAN 1</code>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Guest B</strong>. The first network interface is connected
|
|
to a virtual network <code>VLAN 1</code>, giving it limited NAT
|
|
based connectivity to LAN2. It has a second network interface
|
|
connected to <code>VLAN 2</code>. It acts a router allowing limited
|
|
traffic between the two VLANs, thus giving <code>Guest C</code>
|
|
connectivity to the physical <code>LAN 2</code>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Guest C</strong>. The only network interface is connected
|
|
to a virtual network <code>VLAN 2</code>. It has no direct connectivity
|
|
to a physical LAN, relying on <code>Guest B</codE> to route traffic
|
|
on its behalf.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
