This patch add support to IPVLAN interface. IPVLAN is a driver for a virtual network device that can be used in container environment to access the host network. IPVLAN exposes a single MAC address to the external network regardless the number of IPVLAN device created inside the host network. This means that a user can have multiple IPVLAN devices in multiple containers and the corresponding switch reads a single MAC address. IPVLAN driver is useful when the local switch imposes constraints on the total number of MAC addresses that it can manage.

This manual is the reference documentation for NetworkManager, the standard
|
|
Linux network management service. It is intended for system administrators and
|
|
integrators who need to understand the capabilities of NetworkManager, its
|
|
configuration options, command line tools and the D-Bus API for programmatic
|
|
control of the service.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The end users NetworkManager should instead refer to respective documentation
|
|
of their desktop environment of choice.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The application developers who prefer not to use the D-Bus API directly can use the
|
|
<ulink url="https://developer.gnome.org/libnm/stable/">libnm</ulink> library
|
|
shipped with NetworkManager or its bindings to a higher level language such as
|
|
Python, Ruby or Vala via GObject introspection.

<para>
|
|
This part documents the properties and value types of each "Setting"
|
|
object that composes the basic unit of NetworkManager configuration,
|
|
the "Connection". Each Connection object is simply a dictionary mapping
|
|
setting names (like "802-3-ethernet" or "bluetooth") to a dictionary of
|
|
key/value pairs that represents each itself.

Each secret property in a setting has an associated "flags" property

that describes how to handle that secret. The "flags" property is a

bitfield that contains zero or more of the following values logically
|
|
OR-ed together.
