If you need any ethernet switches with a tap interface, define there first
in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf.

To create a switch, copy /etc/vde2/conf.d/vde-config.sample to a new file
with the extension .conf. The name part if that file will be the switch
name. So /etc/vde2/conf.d/switch1.conf will be get the name `switch1'.

Edit all needed settings in the .conf file. Don't delete any variables,
unused variables should still be present but empty.

When the script is running, 2 sockets are created for each configuration:

/run/vde2/ctl.xxx/ctl	for switch control
/run/vde2/mgmt.xxx	for switch management

To manage a running switch: "unixterm /run/vde2/mgmt.xxxx" where xxxx is
the name of the switch to manage.

To show the vde status: "/etc/rc.d/rc.vde2 status" as any user.
