5.4.1. Managing Virtual Networks

A virtual network acts as a binding interface between a virtual network adapter in a virtual machine or container and the corresponding network adapter on the hardware node. Using virtual networks, you can include virtual machines and containers in different networks. OpenVZ enables you to manage virtual networks as follows:

  • Create virtual networks.
  • Configure virtual network parameters.
  • List existing virtual networks.
  • Delete virtual networks.

These operations are described in the following subsections in detail.
