[--dhcp-ip <IP_address>] [--ip-scope-start <IP_address>]

[--ip-scope-end <IP_address>]

[--ip6 <IP_address>[/<mask>]] [--dhcp6-server <on|off>]

Options

Name

Description

<vnetwork_ID>

A user-defined name that will identify the new virtual network.

-i,--ifname <if>

The name of a physical network adapter on the host to which this virtual network should be bound.

-m,--mac <mac_address>

The MAC address of a virtual network adapter on the host to which this virtual network should be bound.

-t,--type <bridged|host-only>

The type of the virtual network to create. Possible values are:

  • bridged. A virtual machine and Container connected to this type of virtual network appears as an independent computer on the network.
  • host_only (default). A virtual machine and Container connected to this type of virtual network can access only the host and the virtual machines and Containers connected to the same virtual network.

-d,--description <desc>

A user-defined description of the virtual network.

Descriptions with white spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks.

--ip <IP_address>[/<mask>]

--ip6 <IP_address>[/<mask>]

Set an IPv4/IPv6 address and subnet mask for the Virtuozzo virtual adapter.

--dhcp-server <on|off>

--dhcp6-server <on|off>

Enable or disable the Virtuozzo virtual DHCPv4/DHCPv6 server.

--dhcp-ip <IP_address>

--dhcp-ip6 <IP_address>

Set an IPv4/IPv6 address for the Virtuozzo virtual DHCPv4/DHCPv6 server.

--ip-scope-start <IP_address>

--ip-scope-end <IP_address>

--ip6-scope-start <IP_address>

--ip6-scope-end <IP_address>

Set the starting and ending IPv4/IPv6 addresses for the DHCPv4/DHCPv6 pool. The virtual machines and Containers connected to the network you are creating will automatically receive their IPv4/IPv6 addresses from the respective DHCPv4/DHCPv6 pool.
