Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for network association to virtualize network devices using device passthrough. In some examples, a system can determine one or more respective configuration parameters associated with one or more network interfaces on the system. Based on the networking information, the system can map the one or more respective configuration parameters to each corresponding network interface from the one or more network interfaces, to yield mapped interfaces-parameters. Next, the system can record the mapped interfaces-parameters to a data object accessible by a virtual machine on the system. The system can then configure the virtual machine to process the mapped interfaces-parameters as boot time parameters while spawning and launch the virtual machine based on the mapped interfaces-parameters.
