branch repeater [Was Re: Multiple NICs on a VM]
Interesting! A while back I was trying to figure out how to run a branch
repeater as a VM in a guest network.
Correct me if I am wrong. In case of physical branch repeater device one
would set branch repeater as a pass through device so two NIC's are
needed. But in a virtual environment I suspect if there is way to set up
VPX as pass through (inline mode) device and may need to use one-arm mode.
Unfortunately it looks even one-arm mode requires two nic's to be
configured on the VPX.
Just curious to know, since there is no site-to-site VPN capability in
CloudStack at this point, how do you intend to use branch repeater?

If you are using advanced networking and working with VLANs then you could run the VPX in a XenServer host outside of the CloudStack but tie it into the same VLAN as the customers. The only issue with this is that you have to use an internal IP from the client allocation and hope that the DHCP will not try to dole that IP out to another VM in their virtual network.

Thanks for the info Murali.
We're looking at using it with Citrix NetScaler CloudBridge to extend the
L2 fabric between on-premise and in cloud. If that proves troublesome we'd
set up an IPsec VPN instance.
