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
