Veth Pair

This role manages a veth pair. Actions:

  • If veth_pair_state is present, it will create the veth pair and plug one end into the specified peer bridge. If veth_pair_plug_into_source is enabled, it will also plug the other end into/from a source Linux bridge.

  • If veth_pair_state is absent, it will ensure the veth pair does not exist; if veth_pair_plug_into_source is also enabled, it will ensure the veth pair is not plugged into the source bridge.

Requirements

The host should have the ip command available. If veth_pair_peer_bridge_type is openvswitch, or veth_pair_source_link_name is an OVS bridge, the ovs-vsctl command should also be accessible.

Role Variables

  • veth_pair_peer_bridge_type: The type of the peer bridge. One of openvswitch, or linuxbridge.
  • veth_pair_peer_link_name: The name to give the veth link that plugs into the peer bridge.
  • veth_pair_peer_bridge: The name of the peer bridge to plug into.
  • veth_pair_source_link_name: The name to give the veth link that plugs into the source device.
  • veth_pair_source_bridge: The name of the source Linux bridge to plug into. Must be specified if and only if veth_pair_plug_into_source is enabled.
  • veth_pair_plug_into_source: Whether or not to plug the source end of the veth pair into a Linux bridge. If enabled, veth_pair_source_bridge must also be specified. Default is false.
  • veth_pair_state: Whether or not the veth pair should exist. Choose from present or absent. Default is present.
