In order to build the driver, please select the config item CONFIG_IPVLAN.

=============================

In order to build the driver, please select the config item CONFIG_IPVLAN.

The driver can be built into the kernel (CONFIG_IPVLAN=y) or as a module

===================
|

|

IPvlan has two modes of operation - L2 and L3. For a given master device,
|
||||
you can select one of these two modes and all slaves on that master will
|
||||
operate in the same (selected) mode. The RX mode is almost identical except
|
||||
that in L3 mode the slaves wont receive any multicast / broadcast traffic.
|
||||
|
|
@ -48,39 +66,50 @@ L3 mode is more restrictive since routing is controlled from the other (mostly)

4.1 L2 mode:

In this mode TX processing happens on the stack instance attached to the

|

In this mode TX processing happens on the stack instance attached to the

slave device and packets are switched and queued to the master device to send

out. In this mode the slaves will RX/TX multicast and broadcast (if applicable)
|
||||
as well.

4.2 L3 mode:

In this mode TX processing up to L3 happens on the stack instance attached

------------
|
||||
|
||||
In this mode TX processing up to L3 happens on the stack instance attached
|
||||
to the slave device and packets are switched to the stack instance of the
|
||||
master device for the L2 processing and routing from that instance will be
|
||||
used before packets are queued on the outbound device. In this mode the slaves
|
||||
will not receive nor can send multicast / broadcast traffic.

4.3 L3S mode:

-------------
|

|

This is very similar to the L3 mode except that iptables (conn-tracking)
|

works in this mode and hence it is L3-symmetric (L3s). This will have slightly less
|

performance but that shouldn't matter since you are choosing this mode over plain-L3

mode to make conn-tracking work.

|

This is the default option. To configure the IPvlan port in this mode,
|

user can choose to either add this option on the command-line or don't specify

anything. This is the traditional mode where slaves can cross-talk among

themselves apart from talking through the master device.

5.2 private:

If this option is added to the command-line, the port is set in private
|

------------
|
||||
If this option is added to the command-line, the port is set in private

mode. i.e. port won't allow cross communication between slaves.

If this is added to the command-line, the port is set in VEPA mode.

If this is added to the command-line, the port is set in VEPA mode.

=======================================

|

These two devices are very similar in many regards and the specific use

case could very well define which device to choose. if one of the following

situations defines your use case then you can choose to use ipvlan -
|

(a) The Linux host that is connected to the external switch / router has
|
||||
policy configured that allows only one mac per port.
|
||||
(b) No of virtual devices created on a master exceed the mac capacity and
|
||||
puts the NIC in promiscuous mode and degraded performance is a concern.
|
||||
(c) If the slave device is to be put into the hostile / untrusted network
|
||||
namespace where L2 on the slave could be changed / misused.
