These VLANs are also spread across multiple hosts.
For a simplistic scenario wherein your two KVM servers are connected directly to each other and you have your physical interface trunk VLANs, this should work. But if your KVM servers are connected through a physical switch, then the switch should be VLAN aware too (i.e., it should allow VLAN tagged packets to pass-through to the appropriate physical ports) > > I was trying to achieve this using openvswitch but failed to succeed.

Please point me to the right direction. The FAQs in OVS website answer many questions about VLANs. There are also a few very good tutorials about VLANs elsewhere which you should be able to search. > > Regards, > Nisha > > _______________________________________________ > discuss mailing list > discuss@openvswitch.org > http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss > _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
