xen discuss - Dec 2007 - VLANs and xVM

Hi,

is there a way to define VLAN tags on VNICs for xVM?

I thought there is a way to plumb a "VLAN-NIC" within Dom0 (eg.
e1000g155000 for VLAN ID 155 on the physical NIC e1000g0), and use that VLAN-NIC
when creating a DomU with virt-install (--bridge="e1000g155000").

I''ve tried this with Opensolaris b76 using virt-install, but within the
debug messages /usr/lib/vna claims that it could not create the VNIC900.

Is there an other way to accomplish VLAN tagged NICs within DomUs??

Best regards,

Tobi

David,

thanks for your quick answer. Do you have an idea when this feature will 
work?

Thanks,

At the moment I don''t, sorry, as I didn''t yet spend time
looking at it.
