Package: src:xen-api
Severity: wishlist

I've tried to configure VLAN using XCP + openvswitch using Wheezy,
though it's still not fully working, I think VLAN configuration on
dom0 can be better documented.

It's fair easy to configure VLAN in Debian. First you need to ensure
that your physical switch is in trunk mode, which means it will pass
all kinds of VLAN tagged network flow, and add corresponding VLAN tag
to the ports that connect to your server. This is the basic of a
working VLAN.

Next you need to install vconfig package to the system, either by
using apt-get if the host machine is able to access network, or by
transferring the files in other means if your VLAN enabled link makes
it unable to download a file. Then make changes to
/etc/network/interface as following:

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0.100
iface eth0.100 inet manual
        vlan_raw_device eth0

# The primary network interface
auto xenbr0
iface xenbr0 inet static
        bridge_ports eth0.100
        bridge_stp on
        address 192.168.1.120
        netmask 255.255.255.128
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
        dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
        dns-search example.com

This will make xenbr0 bridged to eth0.100, which means VLAN tag 100 on
eth0. There is no need to write about iface eth0, neither bring those
devices up explicitly, as the network will be brought up in a
dependency based manner. In this very example, VLAN 100 was configured
as the default tag on the physical switch, which means everything no
tagged will be tagged as 100. But you are free to use other VLAN for
the device as long as you have added the VLANs to corresponding ports
on your physical switch.

Finally you can continue with what we already have in README.Debian,
to configure the PIFs using `xe pif-reconfigure-ip` of your physical
devices, namely eth0.

I have tested with two physical NICs in this manner and it works fine
for dom0. But I still cannot make network available because of another
problem (very likely to be a bug, but I still need some debugging to
confirm). If you are using openvswitch, you can start a VM when
created from a template, and boot the installer from a network URL
with no problem, just like you don't have VLAN when using openvswitch.
