Hi, I have a requirement as below:
I need to have multiple interfaces (each associated with a different VLAN) made available to the VMs running on the host/hypervisor machine with the help of open vswitch. I have created a main bridge: br0 It uses the bonding (bond0) port -- It is trunk port with multiple VLANs defined at the physical switch I finally created multiple port under the main bridge: port1, port2, port3, and assigned it with different "trunks" or VLANs Now my intention is to have these VMs to get these VLANs available as interfaces. Please guide me to understand the flow of actions. I also like to bring up the following queries to understand the open vswitch concept better: 1. Can I create/add multiple interfaces under one Port which is created in the main bridge? 2. Can I have multiple VLANs defined on a Fake Bridge? and can I create multiple Ports on a Fake Bridge? 3. The default port created in the Main Bridge, is it similar to a VLAN interface 1 that we create on a physical bridge? 4. I assume that we create multiple VLANs under the Main Bridge by creating multiple Ports and assigning different VLAN IDs to it. Is there a way to create/define multiple VLANs directly on the Main Bridge and then create Ports under the bridge and then associating these ports to respective VLAN IDs that we want? -- just like how we do on a physical switch? Thanks & Regards, Thiru
