Currently, libvirtd will start a dnsmasq process for the virtual
network, but (aside from killing the dnsmasq process and replacing it),
there's no way to define tftp boot options.
This change introduces the appropriate tags to the dhcp configuration:
<network>
<name>default</name>
<bridge name="virbr%d" />
<forward/>
<ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
<tftp root="/var/lib/tftproot" />
<dhcp>
<range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
<bootp file="pxeboot.img"/>
</dhcp>
</ip>
</network>
When the attributes are present, these are passed to the
arguments to dnsmasq:
dnsmasq [...] --enable-tftp --tftp-root /srv/tftp --dhcp-boot pxeboot.img
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
from <tftp /> from <bootp />
At present, only local tftp servers are supported (ie, dnsmasq runs as
the tftp server), but we could improve this in future by adding a
server= attribute.

|

<p>
|
|
This page provides an introduction to the network XML format. For background
|
|
information on the concepts referred to here, consult the <a href="archnetwork.html">network driver architecture</a>
|

<h2><a name="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">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">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">Addressing</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The final set of elements define the IPv4 address range available,
|
|
and optionally enable DHCP sevices.

<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>tftp</code></dt><dd>Immediately within
|
|
the <code>ip</code> element there is an optional <code>tftp</code>
|
|
element. The presence of this element and of its attribute
|
|
<code>root</code> enables TFTP services. The attribute specifies
|
|
the path to the root directory served via TFTP.
|
|
<span class="since">Since 0.7.1</span>
|
|
</dd><dt><code>dhcp</code></dt><dd>Also 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>
|
|
</dd><dt><code>bootp</code></dt><dd>The optional <code>bootp</code>
|
|
element specifies BOOTP options to be provided by the DHCP server.
|
|
Only one attribute is supported, <code>file</code>, giving the file
|
|
to be used for the boot image). The BOOTP options currently have to
|
|
be the same for all address ranges and statically assigned addresses.<span

<h2><a name="examples">Example configuration</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="examplesNAT">NAT based network</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<network>
|
|
<name>default</name>
|
|
<bridge name="virbr0" />
|
|
<forward mode="nat"/>
|
|
<ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
|
|
<dhcp>
|
|
<range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
|
|
</dhcp>
|
|
</ip>
|
|
</network></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<network>
|
|
<name>local</name>
|
|
<bridge name="virbr1" />
|
|
<forward mode="route" dev="eth1"/>
|
|
<ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
|
|
<dhcp>
|
|
<range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
|
|
</dhcp>
|

</ip>
|
|
</network></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="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.
