Public Attributes | |
attribute NetworkAdapterType | adapterType |
Type of the virtual network adapter. | |
readonly attribute unsigned long | slot |
Slot number this adapter is plugged into. | |
attribute boolean | enabled |
Flag whether the network adapter is present in the guest system. | |
attribute wstring | MACAddress |
Ethernet MAC address of the adapter, 12 hexadecimal characters. | |
readonly attribute NetworkAttachmentType | attachmentType |
attribute wstring | hostInterface |
Name of the Host Network Interface that is currently in use. | |
attribute wstring | internalNetwork |
Name of the internal network the VM is attached to. | |
attribute wstring | NATNetwork |
Name of the NAT network the VM is attached to. | |
attribute boolean | cableConnected |
Flag whether the adapter reports the cable as connected or not. | |
attribute unsigned long | lineSpeed |
Line speed reported by custom drivers, in units of 1 kbps. | |
attribute boolean | traceEnabled |
Flag whether network traffic from/to the network card should be traced. | |
attribute wstring | traceFile |
Filename where a network trace will be stored. | |
attribute long | TAPFileDescriptor |
File descriptor of the TAP device. | |
attribute wstring | TAPSetupApplication |
Application to start to configure the TAP device. | |
attribute wstring | TAPTerminateApplication |
Application to start before closing a TAP device. |
void INetworkAdapter::attachToNAT | ( | ) |
Attach the network adapter to the Network Address Translation (NAT) interface.
void INetworkAdapter::attachToHostInterface | ( | ) |
Attach the network adapter to a host interface.
On Linux, the TAP setup application will be executed if configured and unless a device name and/or file descriptor has been set, a new TAP interface will be created.
void INetworkAdapter::attachToInternalNetwork | ( | ) |
Attach the network adapter to an internal network.
void INetworkAdapter::detach | ( | ) |
Detach the network adapter.
Type of the virtual network adapter.
Depending on this value, VirtualBox will provide a different virtual network hardware to the guest.
readonly attribute unsigned long INetworkAdapter::slot |
Slot number this adapter is plugged into.
Corresponds to the value you pass to IMachine::getNetworkAdapter to obtain this instance.
attribute boolean INetworkAdapter::enabled |
Flag whether the network adapter is present in the guest system.
If disabled, the virtual guest hardware will not contain this network adapter. Can only be changed when the VM is not running.
attribute wstring INetworkAdapter::MACAddress |
Ethernet MAC address of the adapter, 12 hexadecimal characters.
When setting it to NULL, VirtualBox will generate a unique MAC address.
readonly attribute NetworkAttachmentType INetworkAdapter::attachmentType |
attribute wstring INetworkAdapter::hostInterface |
Name of the Host Network Interface that is currently in use.
NULL will be returned if no device has been allocated. On Linux, setting this refers to a permanent TAP device. However, a file descriptor has precedence over the interface name on Linux. Note that when VBox allocates a TAP device, this property will not be set, i.e. the interface name would have to be determined using the file descriptor and /proc/self/fd.
attribute wstring INetworkAdapter::internalNetwork |
Name of the internal network the VM is attached to.
attribute wstring INetworkAdapter::NATNetwork |
Name of the NAT network the VM is attached to.
attribute boolean INetworkAdapter::cableConnected |
Flag whether the adapter reports the cable as connected or not.
It can be used to report offline situations to a VM.
attribute unsigned long INetworkAdapter::lineSpeed |
Line speed reported by custom drivers, in units of 1 kbps.
attribute boolean INetworkAdapter::traceEnabled |
Flag whether network traffic from/to the network card should be traced.
Can only be toggled when the VM is turned off.
attribute wstring INetworkAdapter::traceFile |
Filename where a network trace will be stored.
If not set, VBox-pid.pcap will be used.
attribute long INetworkAdapter::TAPFileDescriptor |
File descriptor of the TAP device.
It can either be setup by the caller which has to supply an existing valid file handle allocated in the parent process of the VM process or allocated by VirtualBox. The value is -1 if it has not been defined. This property is non persistent, i.e. it will not be stored in the VM's configuration data and thus has to be set at each startup.
attribute wstring INetworkAdapter::TAPSetupApplication |
Application to start to configure the TAP device.
It is being passed two parameters, 1) the file handle (as ascii), 2) the TAP device name if it is available.
attribute wstring INetworkAdapter::TAPTerminateApplication |
Application to start before closing a TAP device.
It is being passed two parameters, 1) the file handle (as ascii), 2) the TAP device name if it is available.
