NAME

Sys::Virt::Network - Represent & manage a libvirt virtual network

DESCRIPTION

The Sys::Virt::Network module represents a virtual network managed by the virtual machine monitor.

METHODS

my $uuid = $net->get_uuid()

Returns a 16 byte long string containing the raw globally unique identifier (UUID) for the network.

my $uuid = $net->get_uuid_string()

Returns a printable string representation of the raw UUID, in the format 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'.

my $name = $net->get_name()

Returns a string with a locally unique name of the network

my $xml = $net->get_xml_description()

Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the network's configuration

$net->create()

Start a network whose configuration was previously defined using the define_network method in Sys::Virt.

$net->undefine()

Remove the configuration associated with a network previously defined with the define_network method in Sys::Virt. If the network is running, you probably want to use the shutdown or destroy methods instead.

$net->destroy()

Immediately terminate the machine, and remove it from the virtual machine monitor. The $net handle is invalid after this call completes and should not be used again.

$net->get_bridge_name()

Return the name of the bridge device associated with the virtual network
