            Bug ID: 252812
           Summary: bhyve(8) doesn't mention vale but it appears to be
                    supported
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: okiddle@yahoo.co.uk
                CC: doc@FreeBSD.org

It appears to be perfectly possible to pass, e.g. -s 5,virtio-net,vale0:vm1=
 to
bhyve and it will create a virtualised network attached to a VALE switch. It
should be listed in bhyve(8) alongside the tapN, vmnetN and (for FreeBSD 13)
netgraph options.

In practice, I didn't get very far when trying to get it to work. Attaching=
 my
physical interface with valectl -h appeared not to work so perhaps that dep=
ends
on driver support. I think I had it working for networking between VMs.
