connect-real-network-bridge

Synopsis

connect-real-network-bridge ["interface"] [-f] [-poll]
<ethernet_cable>.connect-real-network-bridge ["interface"] [-f] [-poll]
<ethernet_switch>.connect-real-network-bridge ["interface"] [-f] [-poll]
<ethernet_hub>.connect-real-network-bridge ["interface"] [-f] [-poll]

Description

Creates an Ethernet bridge between a simulated Ethernet link and a real network through an Ethernet interface of the simulation host.

The optional interface argument specifies the TAP interface of the host to use.

If a service-node with enabled services exists on the Ethernet link being used, then this command will fail, unless -f is specified.

Use -poll to enable poll mode, where the packets are received in full before handed off to worker threads. This will block all other real time events while receiving the data, which may impact overall performance. Use at your own discretion.

This command returns the new real-network component object.
