[Qemu-devel] VLAN inside qemu

[octane indice]

Hello,

I'm trying to experiment VLAN networking with qemu but the doc doesn't help 
me at all.

I want to setup a LAN composed by qemu host, each guest communicating 
with each other.

It's for testing etherboot.
I want to have a host e.g. 172.16.12.1 acting as a DHCP/TFTP/nfs server
and several clients (at least 2) connecting with it.

What could be the command line to launch these qemu? Is tun/tap 
unavoidable?

Thanks

Maybe the "-net socket" option helps in this case - see the QEMU doc for 
an exact description. There are also some threads about this option in 
the forum (search for "net socket").
