| |
| config UML_NET_ETHERTAP |
| bool "Ethertap transport (obsolete)" |
| depends on UML_NET |
| help |
| The Ethertap User-Mode Linux network transport allows a single |
| running UML to exchange packets with its host over one of the |
| host's Ethertap devices, such as /dev/tap0. 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. Also, if your host kernel is 2.4.x, it must have |
| CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV configured as Y or M. |
| |
| For more information, see |
| <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/networking.html> That site |
| has examples of the UML command line to use to enable Ethertap |
| networking. |

| config UML_NET_TUNTAP |
| bool "TUN/TAP transport (obsolete)" |
| depends on UML_NET |
| help |
| The UML TUN/TAP network transport allows a UML instance to exchange |
| packets with the host over a TUN/TAP device. 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. |
| |
| NOTE: THIS TRANSPORT IS DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REMOVED SOON!!! Please |
| migrate to UML_NET_VECTOR. |

| 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. |

| an improved fork of uml_switch. |
| |
| You must have libvdeplug installed in order to build the vde |
| transport into UML. |

| config UML_NET_MCAST |

| 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 |

| config UML_NET_SLIRP |
| bool "SLiRP transport (obsolete)" |
| 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 |
| he 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 |
| privileges, setuid binaries, or SLIP devices on the host. This |
| also means not every type of connection is possible, but most |
| situations can be accommodated 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). |
