Additional running - UMLs can use additional Ethertap devices, one per running UML. - While the UML believes it's on a (multi-device, broadcast) virtual - Ethernet network, it's in fact communicating over a point-to-point - link with the host. - - To use this, your host kernel must have support for Ethertap - devices.

This option will only - work with a 2.4 host, unless you've applied the TUN/TAP patch to - your 2.2 host kernel. - - To use this transport, your host kernel must have support for TUN/TAP - devices, either built-in or as a module. - -config UML_NET_SLIP - bool "SLIP transport" - depends on UML_NET - help - The slip User-Mode Linux network transport allows a running UML to - network with its host over a point-to-point link. Unlike Ethertap, - which can carry any Ethernet frame (and hence even non-IP packets), - the slip transport can only carry IP packets. - - To use this, your host must support slip devices. - - For more information, see - <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html>. That site - has examples of the UML command line to use to enable slip - networking, and details of a few quirks with it. - - The Ethertap Transport is preferred over slip because of its - limitations. If you prefer slip, however, say Y here. Otherwise - choose the Multicast transport (to network multiple UMLs on - multiple hosts), Ethertap (to network with the host and the - outside world), and/or the Daemon transport (to network multiple - UMLs on a single host). You may choose more than one without - conflict. If you don't need UML networking, say N. - -config UML_NET_DAEMON - bool "Daemon transport" - depends on UML_NET - help - This User-Mode Linux network transport allows one or more running - UMLs on a single host to communicate with each other, but not to - the host. - - To use this form of networking, you'll need to run the UML - networking daemon on the host. - - For more information, see - <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html> That site - has examples of the UML command line to use to enable Daemon - networking. - - If you'd like to set up a network with other UMLs on a single host, - say Y. If you need a network between UMLs on multiple physical - hosts, choose the Multicast Transport. To set up a network with - the host and/or other IP machines, say Y to the Ethertap or Slip - transports. You'll need at least one of them, but may choose - more than one without conflict. If you don't need UML networking, - say N. - -config UML_NET_MCAST - bool "Multicast transport" - depends on UML_NET - help - This Multicast User-Mode Linux network transport allows multiple - UMLs (even ones running on different host machines!) to talk to - each other over a virtual ethernet network. However, it requires - at least one UML with one of the other transports to act as a - bridge if any of them need to be able to talk to their hosts or any - other IP machines. - - To use this, your host kernel(s) must support IP Multicasting. - - For more information, see - <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html> That site - has examples of the UML command line to use to enable Multicast - networking, and notes about the security of this approach. - - If you need UMLs on multiple physical hosts to communicate as if - they shared an Ethernet network, say Y. If you need to communicate - with other IP machines, make sure you select one of the other - transports (possibly in addition to Multicast; they're not - exclusive). If you don't need to network UMLs say N to each of - the transports. - -config UML_NET_PCAP - bool "pcap transport" - depends on UML_NET && EXPERIMENTAL - help - The pcap transport makes a pcap packet stream on the host look - like an ethernet device inside UML. This is useful for making - UML act as a network monitor for the host. You must have libcap - installed in order to build the pcap transport into UML. - - For more information, see - <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html> That site - has examples of the UML command line to use to enable this option. - - If you intend to use UML as a network monitor for the host, say - Y here. Otherwise, say N. - -config UML_NET_SLIRP - bool "SLiRP transport" - depends on UML_NET - help - The SLiRP User-Mode Linux network transport allows a running UML - to network by invoking a program that can handle SLIP encapsulated - packets. This is commonly (but not limited to) the application - known as SLiRP, a program that can re-socket IP packets back onto - the host on which it is run. Only IP packets are supported, - unlike other network transports that can handle all Ethernet - frames. In general, slirp allows the UML the same IP connectivity - to the outside world that the host user is permitted, and unlike - other transports, SLiRP works without the need of root level - privleges, setuid binaries, or SLIP devices on the host. This - also means not every type of connection is possible, but most - situations can be accomodated with carefully crafted slirp - commands that can be passed along as part of the network device's - setup string. The effect of this transport on the UML is similar - that of a host behind a firewall that masquerades all network - connections passing through it (but is less secure). - - To use this you should first have slirp compiled somewhere - accessible on the host, and have read its documentation. If you - don't need UML networking, say N. - - Startup example: "eth0=slirp,FE:FD:01:02:03:04,/usr/local/bin/slirp" - -endmenu - |
