Hi,
When I configure a bunch of ports in access mode (with single native VLAN say
100) and associate them to a Bridge I don't see any way the system can find
out what the VLAN ID is used by these ports after a restart.
For such configuration /etc/network/interfaces may have something like:
Auto swp1
Iface swp1 inet manual
Auto swp1
Iface swp2 inet manual
Auto bridge-primary
Iface bridge-primary inet manual
Bridge_ports swp1 swp2
The command I used to associate VLAN 100 with swp1 and swp2 were
ip link add link swp1 type vlan id 100
ip link add link swp2 type vlan id 100
Are these commands at all required? If not it again raises the same question as
just by reading contents of /etc/network/interfaces how does brctl know which
port belongs to which native VLAN?
Nowhere did I mention which VLAN are tied to these ports. I did not keep the
bridge name also contain the VLAN ID (I could name it anything, right?).
I am confused because without the knowledge that native VLAN of swp1 and swp2 is
100 how can we maintain such associations across reboots?
Thanks and regards,
Rohan Sen
