3 slirpvde \- Virtual Distributed Ethernet-Slirp interface
73 is a slirp interface for a VDE network.
75 Slirpvde connects all the units (virtual or real machines) to the network
76 of the host where slirpvde runs as it were a NAT/Masquerading router.
77 The default route is the node 2 (10.0.2.2 in the default network
78 configuration) and DNS is re-mapped in node 3 (10.0.2.3).
80 Slirpvde runs using standard user privileges (no need for root access):
81 all the connections are re-generated by slirpvde itself.
83 IPv4 only. IPv6 is still unsupported.
85 \fB-sock\fP is used to specify the VDE switch (default /tmp/vde.ctl)
87 \fB-dhcp\fP turns on the dhcp server for the network autoconfiguration of
88 all the units connected to the VDE.
90 \fB-netaddr\fP is used to specify the network address (default 10.0.2.0).
92 \fB-L \fIport\fR:\fIvde_host\fR:\fIvde_hostport\fR specifies a port redirection.
93 All the packet received by the host running slirpvde at port \fIport\fR
94 will be forwarded to \fIvde_host\fR at port \fIvde_hostport\fR.
96 \fB-X \fIvde_host\fR[:\fIdisplay\fR.[\fIscreen\fR]] is the option to
97 redirect a X window screen. Slirpvde gets the first unused X display on the
98 host running slirpvde and redirects all the requests to \fIvde_host\fR.
99 \fIdisplay\fR and \fIscreen\fR] must be specified when different from :0.0.
