Managing Parallels Server Bare Metal Network 146
veth Mode
You can also create special veth virtual adapters inside your Containers and make the
Containers operate in the veth mode. The following figure represents an example of the
network structure where all Containers (Container#1 and Container#2) are operating in
the veth mode:
Figure 2: Networking - veth Mode
In the veth mode, a separate veth virtual adapter is created for each Container on the server.
You are allowed to create several veth adapters for a Container. Any veth virtual adapter
consists of two interfaces:
 An Ethernet interface inside the Container. This interface represents a counterpart of a
physical network adapter installed on a standalone server. As any other physical adapter, it
has a MAC address (e.g., 00-0A-CC-32-F1-FF and 00-0A-CC-32-F1-BB), can be
assigned one or more IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.200.101 and 192.168.200.102)
and included in different network environments, etc. Refer to the Configuring veth Adapter
Parameters section (p. 149) for detailed information on configuring Ethernet interfaces
inside Containers.
 An Ethernet interface on the server. This interface is r
esponsible for the adapter operation in
the server context and mostly used to maintain the interaction and communication between
the server and the Ethernet interface inside the Container. Each Ethernet interface on the
server should be assigned a MAC address (e.g., AA-00-0B-CC-11-BB and AA-00-0B-
CC-11-CC). Detailed information on how to manage Ethernet interfaces on the server is
provided in the Configuring veth Adapter Parameters section (p. 149).
