Hi all,
I have gone through the ovs-vswitchd and ovs-vswitchd.conf man pages. I
couldn't find anything similar to Virtual Switch Tagging (VST mode) in
VMware ESX. Basically, "the virtual switch port group tags all outbound
frames and removes tags for all inbound frames." I have tried 'Untagged VLAN
Ports'. Although, similar, this is different from VST mode. It will only
receive frames with 802.1Q headers of specified VID. However, the outbound
frames are untagged. I have verify the above statement using two KVM virtual
machines together with usermode open vswitch (open vswitch kernel module
won't compile on 2.6.32.8 Linux kernel.

So, I am wondering if I can implement something similar to VST mode on open
vswitch? Correct me if I have any misunderstanding about VLAN support in
open vswitch.

p.s. The VST mode and some other VLAN features are documented at
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_vlan_wp.pdf


Thanks,
~D
