Functions

func AddDefaultGw

func AddDefaultGw(ip, device string) error

Add a new default gateway. Identical to: ip route add default via $ip

func AddRoute

func AddRoute(destination, source, gateway, device string) error

Add a new route table entry.

func AddToBridge

func AddToBridge(iface, master *net.Interface) error

Add a slave to abridge device. This is more backward-compatible than netlink.NetworkSetMaster and works on RHEL 6.

func CreateBridge

func CreateBridge(name string, setMacAddr bool) error

Create the actual bridge device. This is more backward-compatible than netlink.NetworkLinkAdd and works on RHEL 6.

func NetworkChangeName

func NetworkChangeName(iface *net.Interface, newName string) error

func NetworkCreateVethPair

func NetworkCreateVethPair(name1, name2 string) error

func NetworkLinkAdd

func NetworkLinkAdd(name string, linkType string) error

Add a new network link of a specified type. This is identical to running: ip add link $name type $linkType

func NetworkLinkAddIp

func NetworkLinkAddIp(iface *net.Interface, ip net.IP, ipNet *net.IPNet) error

Add an Ip address to an interface. This is identical to: ip addr add $ip/$ipNet dev $iface

func NetworkLinkDown

func NetworkLinkDown(iface *net.Interface) error

func NetworkLinkUp

func NetworkLinkUp(iface *net.Interface) error

Bring up a particular network interface

func NetworkSetMTU

func NetworkSetMTU(iface *net.Interface, mtu int) error

func NetworkSetMaster

func NetworkSetMaster(iface, master *net.Interface) error

same as ip link set $name master $master

func NetworkSetNsFd

func NetworkSetNsFd(iface *net.Interface, fd int) error

func NetworkSetNsPid

func NetworkSetNsPid(iface *net.Interface, nspid int) error
