Hi Nicolas, Thank you for answering my question. Actually this is what I want to achieve: eth0----+ +----bond0.100----br0-100---{+virtual machines | | +----bond0----+----br0---(LAN) | | eth1----+ +----bond0.200----br0-200---{+virtual machines br0 --> br0 in my understanding is an untagged vlan therefore it provides access to my LAN. So i am able to access that server from my internal network. br0-100 and br0-200 -> Vlans over a bridged interface will allow me to have many virtual machines in the same vlan on each bridged interface. I am misunderstanding concepts, maybe? If you need to do further tests I have a test environment ready for use.
