CONFIG_GENEVE: Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_GENEVE has multiple definitions:

Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation found in drivers/net/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_GENEVE:

• prompt: Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation
• type: tristate
• depends on: ( CONFIG_INET ) && ( CONFIG_IPV6 || ! CONFIG_IPV6 )
• defined in drivers/net/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 4.3–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.8, 6.9-rc+HEAD
• modules built: geneve, geneve

Help text

This allows one to create geneve virtual interfaces that provide Layer 2 Networks over Layer 3 Networks. GENEVE is often used to tunnel virtual network infrastructure in virtualized environments. For more information see: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-02

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called geneve.

Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation netdev found in drivers/net/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_GENEVE:

• prompt: Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation netdev
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_INET && CONFIG_GENEVE_CORE
• defined in drivers/net/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 4.2
• modules built: geneve, geneve
