Domain XML and VLAN tagging

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,
from here [1]:

"Network connections that support guest-transparent VLAN tagging include 1) type='bridge' interfaces connected to an Open vSwitch bridge Since 0.10.0 , 2) SRIOV Virtual Functions (VF) used via type='hostdev' (direct device assignment) Since 0.10.0 , and 3) SRIOV VFs used via type='direct' with mode='passthrough' (macvtap "passthru" mode) Since 1.3.5 . All other connection types, including standard linux bridges and libvirt's own virtual networks, do not support it."

I read it correctly that when used on a classical linux bridge these vlan tags does nothing? If so, it is due to something related to the underlying bridge device (ie: incomplete support for vlan filtering) or it is because libvirt lacks the necessary "plumbing" to use advanced bridge features?

Thanks.
