VM Trunk Port

Morning All,

Is anyone aware of a way to connect a Virtual machine to a Trunk Port IE more that 1 VLAN?

Thanks
Lewis

Hi Lewis,

As far as I know,  libvirt supports vlan tags,  but it only works with
openvswitch.  Do you use linux bridge or openvswitch?

There’s a feature to pass a vlan range to an interface, but unfortunately that’s VMWare. There’s no way that I know of to do that in KVM at the moment, but it would be a great features.

That is possible but the maximum number of interfaces I can add to the OS in KVM is 24. This limits the scalability of the solution not the worst thing in the world but if I can do a trunk port it gives more scalability and flexibility.
