NAME¶

ifcfg-ipvtap - IPVTAP interface configuration

SYNOPSIS¶

/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-*

IPVTAP interface¶

To set up an IPVTAP interface, you need a configuration file with the IPVTAP=yes variable set.

An IPVTAP interface is conceptually similar to MACVTAP with the same difference between MACVLAN and IPVLAN. The IPVTAP interface operate on Layer 3 and share the same configuration options with IPVLAN.

OPTIONS¶

IPVTAP <yes|no>

This option must be set to yes to identify this configuration type as IPVTAP.

IPVTAP_DEVICE

Mandatory option to specify the lower (parent) interface for this IPVTAP interface.

IPVTAP_MODE <l2|l3|l3s>

Specifies the mode for the IPVTAP interface. For a given lower device, you can select one of these modes and all linked devices will operate in the same mode.

IPVTAP_FLAGS <bridge|private|vepa>

Specifies the mode flags. Only one flag at a time is allowed. Similar to IPVTAP_MODE, a given flag will be applied to all linked devices of one lower interface.

EXAMPLES¶

Example ifcfg-<name> config file for an IPVTAP interface

STARTMODE=auto
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.0.0.100/24
IPVTAP=yes
IPVTAP_DEVICE=eth0
IPVTAP_MODE=l3s
IPVTAP_FLAGS=bridge
