kathara-lconfig - Attach network interfaces to a running Kathara device of a Kathara network scenario
kathara lconfig [-h] [-d DIRECTORY] -n DEVICE_NAME (--add <CD[/MAC_ADDR]> [<CD[/MAC_ADDR]> ...] | --rm CD [CD ...])
Manage the network interfaces of a running Kathara device in a network scenario. The affected device is identified by DEVICE_NAME, which is the name of the running device in the network scenario.
-h, --help
-d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
Manage the network interfaces of running devices in a Kathara network scenario that is located inside DIRECTORY.
If no -d option is provided, assume the network scenario is located in the current directory.
-n DEVICE_NAME, --name DEVICE_NAME
--add <CD[/MAC_ADDR]> [<CD[/MAC_ADDR]> ...]CD: The name of the collision domain to which the specified interface must be connected. Note that the name of the collision domain must not contain spaces (" "), commas (",") and dots (".").
/MAC_ADDR: An optional parameter to specify the MAC address of the interface (MAC address must be in the format XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX). If MAC_ADDR is not provided, Kathara will assign a random one.
Equip the device with an additional network interface attached to a (virtual) collision domain whose name is CD. The number of the resulting network interface is generated incrementing the number of the last network interface used by the device.
--rm CD [CD ...]Disconnect the device from the collision domain whose name is CD and remove the corresponding interface.
Connect pc1 to collision domain X and Y (with random MAC addresses):
kathara lconfig -d path/to/network_scenario -n pc1 --add X Y
Connect pc1 to collision domain X with the specified MAC address:
kathara lconfig -d path/to/network_scenario -n pc1 --add X/00:00:00:00:00:01
Disconnect pc1 from collision domain X and remove the corresponding interface:
kathara lconfig -d path/to/network_scenario -n pc1 --rm X
Report bugs opening an issue on the official GitHub repository where the development and maintenance is primarily done.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Kathara mailing list. You do not have to be subscribed to the list to send a message there.
When reporting a bug, remember to write used commands, eventually attach your network scenario, and include the output of kathara-check(1) in order to make possible to reproduce the bug.
Kathara was born from Netkit. Its first version was developed by Gaetano Bonofiglio and Veronica Iovinella. Currently it is mantained by Mariano Scazzariello, Tommaso Caiazzi and Lorenzo Ariemma.
