You may use VLAN tags on virtual interfaces. VLAN splinters work around a bug that is only in some versions of some drivers for some physical NICs. Virtual interface drivers do not have this bug. Access ports do not process VLAN tagged packets. Therefore, it does not make sense to enable VLAN splinters on an interface for an access port, or on an interface that is not a physical port _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
