TrueNAS 12 - vale switch instead of bridge for bhyve VM-s

[klatoszy]

In TrueNAS 12 it is possible to load netmap module and create vale switches.

However I'm not able to use them as parent interface for network adapters for VM-s created in GUI.
Is there some command line interface to create/modify VM? Or maybe next relase of TN could add such feature?

Thank you.

There's the API

your.truenas.ip.address/api/docs/

Look for the VM and VM.Device section on the left.

As a tip, you can use the midclt (middleware Client) to call those APIs, so as an example command that I found quickly (for shares rather than VMs):
midclt call sharing.nfs.create '{"comment": "user nfs export", "security": ["KRB5", "KRB5I", "KRB5P"], "enabled": true, "paths": ["/mnt/path/to/user/homedir"], "networks": ["IP1/24", "IP2/24"]}'

Also:

I don't think so. Or at least not while remaining supported and surviving updates and reboots.
