VDE_PCAPPLUG(1) General Commands Manual VDE_PCAPPLUG(1) NAME vde_pcapplug - Virtual Distributed Ethernet libpcap cable SYNOPSIS vde_pcapplug [OPTION]... interface DESCRIPTION vde_pcapplug is a plug to be connected into a VDE switch. All the data that is caught by the plug is injected into interface and everything from that interface is sent in the switch. OPTIONS -p, --port=portnum It is possible to decide which port of the switch to use. When this option is not specified the switch assigns the first available un- used port (if any). It is possible to connect several cables in the same switch port: in this way all this cables work concurrently. It means that packet can result as duplicate but no ARP table loops are generated. Is useful when vde is used for mobility. Several physi- cal interfaces can be used at a time during handoffs to prevent hichups in connectivity. -g, --group=group group ownership of the communication socket. For security when more want to share a switch it is better to use a unix group to own the comm sockets so that the network traffic cannot be sniffed. -m, --mod=octal-mode octal chmod like permissions for the comm sockets -s, --sock=socket specify the UNIX socket to be used by local programs for joining the VDE. The default value is "/tmp/vde.ctl". -d, --daemon start vde_plug2tap as a background process -P, --pidfile=pidfile put the process ID of vde_plug2tap in pidfile. Can be used with --daemon to store the PID for future killing. -h, --help show a brief help NOTICE Virtual Distributed Ethernet is not related in any way with www.vde.com ("Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik" i.e. the German "Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technolo- gies").
