SYNOPSIS

netavark [options] command network namespace path

DESCRIPTION

Netavark configures a network namespace according to a configuration read from STDIN. The configuration is JSON formatted.

COMMANDS

  netavark setup

The setup command configures the given network namespace with the given configuration, creating any interfaces and firewall rules necessary.

  netavark teardown

The teardown command is the inverse of the setup command, undoing any configuration applied. Some interfaces may not be deleted (bridge interfaces, for example, will not be removed).

  CONFIGURATION FORMAT

The configuration accepted is the same for both setup and teardown. It is JSON formatted.
