Sys::Virt::Interface(3pm)

Overview

The "Sys::Virt::Interface" module represents a host network interface allowing configuration of IP addresses, bonding, vlans and bridges.

my $name = $iface->get_name(): Returns a string with a locally unique name of the network

$iface->is_active(): Returns a true value if the interface is currently running

my $name = $iface->get_mac(): Returns a string with the hardware MAC address of the interface

my $xml = $iface->get_xml_description(): Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the network's configuration

$iface->create(): Start a network whose configuration was previously defined using the "define_network" method in Sys::Virt.

$iface->undefine(): Remove the configuration associated with a network previously defined with the "define_network" method in Sys::Virt. If the network is running, you probably want to use the "shutdown" or "destroy" methods instead.

$iface->destroy(): Immediately terminate the machine, and remove it from the virtual machine monitor. The $iface handle is invalid after this call completes and should not be used again.

This section documents constants that are used with various APIs described above

The following constants are used to filter object lists

`Sys::Virt::Interface::LIST_ACTIVE`	Include interfaces that are active
`Sys::Virt::Interface::LIST_INACTIVE`	Include interfaces that are not active

The following constants can be used to control the behaviour of interface define operations

Sys::Virt::Interface::DEFINE_VALIDATE: Validate the XML document against the XML schema

The following constants are used when querying XML

Sys::Virt::Interface::XML_INACTIVE: Request the inactive XML, instead of the current possibly live config.
