💖 VDETELWEB(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round — this is vdetelweb from the General Commands Manual, and she is lowkey iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vdetelweb — Virtual Distributed Ethernet Telnet and/or Web management module 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

vdetelweb [ --web ] [ --telnet ] [ --nodename nodename ] [ --daemon ] [
--rcfile rcfile ] mgmt_socket

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically vdetelweb is a tiny little queen that runs a telnet server and/or a web server so you can manage a VDE2 switch from far away. Remote management era fr fr 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -w, --web — spins up the web server. At least one of --web or --telnet must be set. no exceptions bestie 😤
• -t, --telnet — spins up the telnet server. At least one of --web or --telnet must be set. same energy, periodt.
• -n, --nodename nodename — tells everyone the nodename as seen from remote connections (like in the command prompt, or the web page title 👑). When you don't specify it, uname nodename gets used instead. she'll figure it out herself.
• -d, --daemon — runs as a daemon, and uses syslog for logging. background baddie mode 🫶
• -f, --rcfile rcfile — the rc file that sets the initial switch configuration. When it's not specified, vdetelweb goes looking for ~/.vde/vdetelwebrc and /etc/vde/vdetelwebrc. At least one rc file must exist and be readable — like, non-negotiable, she needs something to work with 😭
• -h, --help — prints help. please use it for a more complete list of options, it's literally there for you 🎀
• mgmt_socket — this is the management socket used to communicate with the vde_switch. (This option must match the path used in the -M option for the vde_switch.) match it exactly or it's giving ✨chaos✨
