       auto 	   - automatically find a free TAP interface and use it
       10.0.0.1	   - specify TAP interface IP
       10.0.0.2    - specify VKE interface IP
       24          - specify CIDR bits for TAP/BKE (e.g. would be 10.0.0.0/24)
		     if not specified a /30 would be used.

bridgeN - instead of specifying IPs, just tie the TAP interface
into the specified bridge.

just as additional input an excerpt from the qemu man page (sorry, quite a bit):


Network options:

      -net nic[,vlan=n][,macaddr=addr][,model=type]
          Create a new Network Interface Card and connect it to VLAN n (n = 0
          is the default). The NIC is currently an NE2000 on the PC target.
          Optionally, the MAC address can be changed. If no -net option is
          specified, a single NIC is created.  Qemu can emulate several dif-
          ferent models of network card.  Valid values for type are
          "ne2k_pci", "ne2k_isa", "rtl8139", "smc91c111" and "lance".  Not
          all devices are supported on all targets.

      -net user[,vlan=n][,hostname=name]
          Use the user mode network stack which requires no administrator
          priviledge to run.  hostname=name can be used to specify the client
          hostname reported by the builtin DHCP server.

      -net tap[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,ifname=name][,script=file]
          Connect the host TAP network interface name to VLAN n and use the
          network script file to configure it. The default network script is
          /etc/qemu-ifup. If name is not provided, the OS automatically pro-
          vides one.  fd=h can be used to specify the handle of an already
          opened host TAP interface. Example:

qemu linux.img -net nic -net tap

          More complicated example (two NICs, each one connected to a TAP
          device)

                  qemu linux.img -net nic,vlan=0 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0 \
                                 -net nic,vlan=1 -net tap,vlan=1,ifname=tap1

      -net socket[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,listen=[host]:port][,connect=host:port]
          Connect the VLAN n to a remote VLAN in another QEMU virtual machine
          using a TCP socket connection. If listen is specified, QEMU waits
          for incoming connections on port (host is optional). connect is
          used to connect to another QEMU instance using the listen option.
          fd=h specifies an already opened TCP socket.

Example:

                  # launch a first QEMU instance
                  qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 \
                                 -net socket,listen=:1234
                  # connect the VLAN 0 of this instance to the VLAN 0
                  # of the first instance
                  qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57 \
                                 -net socket,connect=127.0.0.1:1234

      -net socket[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,mcast=maddr:port]
          Create a VLAN n shared with another QEMU virtual machines using a
          UDP multicast socket, effectively making a bus for every QEMU with
          same multicast address maddr and port.  NOTES:

          1.  Several QEMU can be running on different hosts and share same
              bus (assuming correct multicast setup for these hosts).

          2.  mcast support is compatible with User Mode Linux (argument
              ethN=mcast), see <http://user-mode-linux.sf.net>.

3.<Use fd=h to specify an already opened UDP multicast socket.>

Example:

                  # launch one QEMU instance
                  qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 \
                                 -net socket,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234
                  # launch another QEMU instance on same "bus"
                  qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57 \
                                 -net socket,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234
                  # launch yet another QEMU instance on same "bus"
                  qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:58 \
                                 -net socket,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234

Example (User Mode Linux compat.):

                  # launch QEMU instance (note mcast address selected
                  # is UML's default)
                  qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 \
                                 -net socket,mcast=239.192.168.1:1102
                  # launch UML
                  /path/to/linux ubd0=/path/to/root_fs eth0=mcast

      -net none
          Indicate that no network devices should be configured. It is used
          to override the default configuration (-net nic -net user) which is
          activated if no -net options are provided.


I think they don't mean IEEE 802.1Q VLANs though, just an internal bridge within qemu or so.
