NAME

 qemud-tap  - helper to create a tap network device

DESCRIPTION

 qemu-tap  is a helper program to create a tap network device for bridge devices. This is the preferred method in qemu-init. For each bridge device there will be a symlink  qemud-<bridgedev> , where 'bridgedev' is the name of the bridge device. Example: if your bridge device is br0 the symlink is  qemud-br0 .

Howto create a network bridge is outside the scope of qemu-init. Right now there will be one bridge device respected automatically only. This will may be a subject to change in the future. Different bridge devices have to be configured in  <name>-qemu.cfg . Example:

    -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,mac=DE:AD:BE:EF:06:2F
    -netdev tap,id=net0,script=/home/srvcs/qemud/lib/qemud-\fIbr1\fR
