[libvirt] [PATCH] Network: LXC generic ethernet interface
The patch adds generic ethernet type to LXC, that allows you to make
an arbitrary virtual network interface and associate it to an LXC
domain. That does not, however, provide a means to execute a script,
that is still available only for QEMU.
1. Create a virtual ethernet device pair
# ip link add type veth (e.g. veth0 and veth1 by default)
2. Define a LXC domain and associate it to one end of the pair
[...]
<interface type='ethernet'>
<target dev='veth1'/>
</interface>
3. Do whatever you like, for example, add another end of the pair
to a bridge (e.g. br0)
# brctr addif br0 veth0
# ip link set dev veth0 up
4. Start a LXC domain. The interface shows up as eth0 in the domain.
