I want to know, is it possible for an external network added in xenserver, to be part of multiple Vlans? If so, what are the commands to do the same.? -- Regards, Manoj R _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Using Linux bridging, you need to create a bridge for each Virtual LAN, and attach each VLAN to the appropriate bridge - your guests then use multiple virtual NICs to access the bridge(s) they need. Last time I recall this being discussed, there was mention of a newer virtual switch package (whose name escapes me at the moment), which would have allowed the use of a single virtual switch carrying tagged traffic. But I don''t recall any feedback on that. As to commands, that is very much down to your distribution - so I might help if you said what you are using. The previous discussions in the archives include examples. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
