Thanks Paolo. i have done some testing & find out that command uml_switch -unix /tmp/uml1 -tap tap10 doesn't work as i wrote earlier but if i use the command uml_switch -tap tap10 -unix /tmp/uml1 it works fine. So may be the sequencing problem. It resolves my problem that default socket file is not used & we can specify our own socket file with -tap option.
Yes, I have tested only one tap device can be attached with a uml switch.

Well, with two commas like you wrote the syntax seems indeed correct. > b) uml_switch -tap tap10 > Now if we configure the device of UML, its working: > uml_mconsole umid configure eth0=daemon > Assign the IP address to eth device, it is able to ping the bridge.

Same socket file can be > attach to multiple uml_switches?? For what I remember, one uml_switch can manage one socket, and on that socket you can attach as many UMLs as you like. > 2. Is it possible to attach the uml switch with multiple tap devices?? Not necessary I think... the Uml_switch can use the tap device to forward the traffic to the host network. -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
