VDE_VXLAN(1)

💖 VDE_VXLAN(1) 💖

okay so this is vde_vxlan(1) from the General Commands Manual, and bestie, we're gonna get you fluent in VXLAN tunnelling, no cap 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

vde_vxlan — a VXLAN tunnel endpoint for VDE

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vde_vxlan --vxlan-id vxlan_id --vxlan-addr multicast_address [ --vxlan-port udp_port ] [ --vxlan-mttl multicast_ttl ] [ --sock vde_socket_dir ] [ --port vde_port ] [ --daemon ] [ --verbose ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So a vde_vxlan is literally a Virtual eXtensible LAN — that's VXLAN, iykyk — tunnel endpoint for the vde architecture. What it does is it can connect a vde_switch(1) to a VXLAN segment. Like, it's the little bridge between your vde world and the VXLAN world, and honestly? main character energy 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --vxlan-id — the ID of the VXLAN, aka the VNI (the number that tells everyone which tunnel is which, iconic)
• --vxlan-addr — the multicast address of the VXLAN
• --vxlan-port — the port of the VXLAN (default is 4879, remember that 😌)
• --vxlan-mttl — the multicast TTL (default is 1)
• --sock — the socket directory of the VDE switch
• --port — the port of the VDE switch
• --daemon — run in background, so it just vibes quietly behind the scenes ✨
• --verbose — show debug output, for when you're being nosy and want the receipts 🔍
