| 4 | Setting up vknetd to give your test vkernel some connectivity. There |
| 5 | are two easy ways of doing this. First you can set up a bridge: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ifconfig bridge0 create |
| 8 | ifconfig bridge0 addm nfe0 |
| 9 | ifconfig bridge0 up |
| 10 | /usr/sbin/vknetd -p /var/run/vknet -U -b bridge0 |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Second, you can set up a LAN just between the vkernel and the machine it |
| 13 | is running on. In your /etc/rc.conf you set: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | vknetd_enable="YES" |
| 16 | vknetd_flags="10.30.0.1/16" |
| 17 | |
| 18 | vknetd just sits there waiting for connections. Any number of vkernels |
| 19 | can then attach to it. If you bridge you can use your normal LAN's dhcp |
| 20 | server and run dhclient on the vkernel. If you set up a local LAN it |
| 21 | is easiest to simply configure the address by hand. |
