conf: introduce virNetworkPortDefPtr struct and XML support

Browse Source

with a virtual network port. Add APIs for parsing/formatting XML docs
with the data.

<h1>Network XML format</h1>
<ul id="toc">
</ul>
<p>
This page provides an introduction to the network port XML format.
This stores information about the connection between an virtual
interface on a virtual domain's, and the virtual network it is
attached to.
</p>
<h2><a id="elements">Element and attribute overview</a></h2>
<p>
The root element required for all virtual network ports is
named <code>networkport</code> and has no configurable attributes
The network port XML format is available <span class="since">since
5.5.0</span>
</p>
<h3><a id="elementsMetadata">General metadata</a></h3>
<p>
The first elements provide basic metadata about the virtual
network port.
</p>
<pre>
&lt;networkport
&lt;uuid&gt;7ae63b5f-fe96-4af0-a7c3-da04ba1b3f54&lt;/uuid&gt;
&lt;owner&gt;
&lt;uuid&gt;06578fc1-c686-46fa-bc2c-220893b466a6&lt;/uuid&gt;
&lt;name&gt;myguest&lt;name&gt;
&lt;/owner&gt;
&lt;group&gt;webfront&lt;group&gt;
&lt;mac address='52:54:0:7b:35:93'/&gt;
...</pre>
<dl>
<dt><code>uuid</code></dt>
<dd>The content of the <code>uuid</code> element provides
a globally unique identifier for the virtual network port.
The format must be RFC 4122 compliant, eg <code>3e3fce45-4f53-4fa7-bb32-11f34168b82b</code>.
If omitted when defining/creating a new network port, a random
UUID is generated.</dd>
<dd>The <code>owner</code> node records the domain object that
is the owner of the network port. It contains two child nodes:
<dl>
<dt><code>uuid</code></dt>
<dd>The content of the <code>uuid</code> element provides
a globally unique identifier for the virtual domain.</dd>
<dt><code>name</code></dt>
<dd>The unique name of the virtual domain</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt><code>group</code></dt>
<dd>The port group in the virtual network to which the
port belongs. Can be omitted if no port groups are
defined on the network.</dd>
<dt><code>mac</code></dt>
<dd>The <code>address</code> attribute provides the MAC
address of the virtual port that will be see by the
guest. The MAC address must not start with 0xFE as this
byte is reserved for use on the host side of the port.
</dd>
</dl>
<h3><a id="elementsCommon">Common elements</a></h3>
<p>
The following elements are common to one of more of the plug
types listed later
</p>
<pre>
...
&lt;bandwidth&gt;
&lt;inbound average='1000' peak='5000' floor='200' burst='1024'/&gt;
&lt;outbound average='128' peak='256' burst='256'/&gt;
&lt;/bandwidth&gt;
&lt;rxfilters trustGuest='yes'/&gt;
&lt;virtualport type='802.1Qbg'&gt;
&lt;parameters managerid='11' typeid='1193047' typeidversion='2'/&gt;
&lt;/virtualport&gt;
...</pre>
<dl>
<dt><code>bandwidth</code></dt>
<dd>This part of the network port XML provides setting quality of service.
Incoming and outgoing traffic can be shaped independently.
The <code>bandwidth</code> element and its child elements are described
in the <a href="formatnetwork.html#elementQoS">QoS</a> section of
the Network XML. In addition the <code>classID</code> attribute may
exist provide the ID of the traffic shaping class that is active.
</dd>
<dt><code>rxfilters</code></dt>
<dd>The <code>rxfilters</code> element property
<code>trustGuest</code> provides the
capability for the host to detect and trust reports from the
guest regarding changes to the interface mac address and receive
filters by setting the attribute to <code>yes</code>. The default
setting for the attribute is <code>no</code> for security
reasons and support depends on the guest network device model as
well as the type of connection on the host - currently it is
only supported for the virtio device model and for macvtap
connections on the host.
</dd>
<dt><code>virtualport</code></dt>
<dd>The <code>virtualport</code> element describes metadata that
needs to be provided to the underlying network subsystem. It
is described in the domain XML
<a href="formatdomain.html#elementsNICS">interface documentation</a>.
</dd>
</dl>
<h3><a id="elementsPlug">Plugs</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>plug</code> element has varying content depending
on the value of the <code>type</code> attribute.
</p>
<h4><a id="elementsPlugNetwork">Network</a></h4>
<p>
The <code>network</code> plug type refers to a managed virtual
network plug that is based on a traditional software bridge
device privately managed by libvirt.
</p>
<pre>
...
&lt;plug type='network' bridge='virbr0'&gt;
...</pre>
<p>
The <code>bridge</code> attribute provides the name of the
privately managed bridge device associated with the virtual
network.
</p>
<h4><a id="elementsPlugNetwork">Bridge</a></h4>
<p>
The <code>bridge</code> plug type refers to an externally
managed traditional software bridge.
</p>
<pre>
...
&lt;plug type='bridge' bridge='br2'&gt;
...</pre>
<p>
The <code>bridge</code> attribute provides the name of the
externally managed bridge device associated with the virtual
network.
</p>
<h4><a id="elementsPlugNetwork">Direct</a></h4>
<p>
The <code>direct</code> plug type refers to a connection
directly to a physical network interface.
</p>
<pre>
...
&lt;plug type='direct' dev='ens3' mode='vepa'/&gt;
...</pre>
<p>
The <code>dev</code> attribute provides the name of the
physical network interface to which the port will be
connected. The <code>mode</code> attribute describes
how the connection will be setup and takes the same
values described in the
<a href="formatdomain.html#elementsNICSDirect">domain XML</a>.
</p>
<h4><a id="elementsPlugNetwork">Host PCI</a></h4>
<p>
The <code>hostdev-pci</code> plug type refers to the
passthrough of a physical PCI device rather than emulation.
</p>
<pre>
...
&lt;plug type='hostdev-pci' managed='yes'&gt;
&lt;driver name='vfio'/&gt;
&lt;address domain='0x0001' bus='0x02' slot='0x03' function='0x4'/&gt;
&lt;/plug&gt;
...</pre>
<p>
The <code>managed</code> attribute indicates who is responsible for
managing the PCI device in the host. When set to the value <code>yes</code>
libvirt is responsible for automatically detaching the device from host
drivers and resetting it if needed. If the value is <code>no</code>,
some other party must ensure the device is not attached to any
host drivers.
