Creating a network bridge on the Hardware Node.

Before you can connect a virtual network adapter inside a Container to a physical or a virtual LAN, you first have to create a network bridge on the Hardware Node. The bridge will act as a binding interface between the adapter inside a Container and a physical or VLAN adapter on the Hardware Node.

To create a VLAN adapter, use net_bridgeType as the data type for the net_device element. The following explains how to populate the structure parameters:

id -- a unique name that you would like to use for the new bridge.

network_id -- a unique name identifying the Virtuozzo virtual network associated with this bridge. Again, you can use any name you prefer (e.g. vznet1). You will use this ID later to attach LAN/VLAN adapters and virtual network interfaces inside Containers to the bridge.

The ip_address and dhcp parameters are optional.

Example:

The following example shows how to create a bridge.

We use vzbridge5 as the bridge name, and vznet5 as the network ID.
