esxi and freebsd vlans

[Sebastiaan van Erk]

Hi,




I made 2 test installs with the following interface configuration:

test1:
ifconfig em0 inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig vlan create
ifconfig vlan0 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 22 vlandev em0

test2:
ifconfig em0 inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig vlan create
ifconfig vlan0 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 22 vlandev em0





Many thanks,

I ran into the ESXi limit of 4 NICs per VM, so I figured I would work around this using FreeBSD's vlan devices. I can ping the other machine using the 10.10.10.x IP address no problem, but the 192.168.1.x addresses don't work. I've tried setting the vlan id on the vSwitch to none and to 22, but in neither of the two cases does it work. Does anybody have FreeBSD vlan's working on ESXi or know how to get it working?
