Property Details

The “egress-priority-map” property

  “egress-priority-map”      GSList_gchararray_ *

For outgoing packets, a list of mappings from Linux SKB priorities to 802.1p priorities. The mapping is given in the format "from:to" where both "from" and "to" are unsigned integers, ie "7:3".

Owner: NMSettingVlan

Flags: Read / Write


The “flags” property

  “flags”                    guint

One or more flags which control the behavior and features of the VLAN interface. Flags include NM_VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HEADERS (reordering of output packet headers), NM_VLAN_FLAG_GVRP (use of the GVRP protocol), and NM_VLAN_FLAG_LOOSE_BINDING (loose binding of the interface to its master device's operating state), NM_VLAN_FLAG_MVRP (use of the MVRP protocol).

Owner: NMSettingVlan

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: 0


The “id” property

  “id”                       guint

The VLAN identifier that the interface created by this connection should be assigned.

Owner: NMSettingVlan

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: <= 4095

Default value: 0


The “ingress-priority-map” property

  “ingress-priority-map”     GSList_gchararray_ *

For incoming packets, a list of mappings from 802.1p priorities to Linux SKB priorities. The mapping is given in the format "from:to" where both "from" and "to" are unsigned integers, ie "7:3".

Owner: NMSettingVlan

Flags: Read / Write


The “interface-name” property

  “interface-name”           gchar *

If given, specifies the kernel name of the VLAN interface. If not given, a default name will be constructed from the interface described by the parent interface and the “id” property, eg "eth2.1". The parent interface may be given by the “parent” property or by the “mac-address” property of an NMSettingWired setting.

Owner: NMSettingVlan

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: NULL


The “parent” property

  “parent”                   gchar *

If given, specifies the parent interface name or parent connection UUID from which this VLAN interface should be created. If this property is not specified, the connection must contain an NMSettingWired setting with a “mac-address” property.

Owner: NMSettingVlan

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: NULL
