Sys::Virt::Interface(3pm)
NAME
Sys::Virt::Interface - Represent & manage a libvirt host network
interface
DESCRIPTION
The "Sys::Virt::Interface" module represents a host network interface
allowing configuration of IP addresses, bonding, vlans and bridges.
METHODS
- 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.
