General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_UML_NET_VDE has multiple definitions:

VDE transport (obsolete) found in arch/um/drivers/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_UML_NET_VDE:

• prompt: VDE transport (obsolete)
• type: bool
• depends on: ( CONFIG_UML_NET ) && (! CONFIG_MODVERSIONS )
• defined in arch/um/drivers/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 5.6–5.19, 6.0–6.8, 6.9-rc+HEAD

Help text

This User-Mode Linux network transport allows one or more running UMLs on a single host to communicate with each other and also with the rest of the world using Virtual Distributed Ethernet, an improved fork of uml_switch.

You must have libvdeplug installed in order to build the vde transport into UML.

To use this form of networking, you will need to run vde_switch on the host.

For more information, see http://wiki.virtualsquare.org/ That site has a good overview of what VDE is and also examples of the UML command line to use to enable VDE networking.

NOTE: THIS TRANSPORT IS DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REMOVED SOON!!! Please migrate to UML_NET_VECTOR.

If unsure, say N.

If you need UML networking with VDE, say Y.
