Hi everyone,
I am trying to set a vlan configuration, and reading
the guides or tutorials about Vlan I came up with some
questions that maybe you can answer me.
What I am trying to do with my configuration is
creating two machines PC1 and PC3 in a VLAN ID 10 and
PC2 and PC4 in VLANM ID 20.
I use two machines as bridges and the graph is like
this
----- -----
-PC1- -PC2-
----- -----
- -
- eth0.10 eth0.20 -
- 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 -
- -
- --------- -----------------
- -
eth1.10- - eth2.20
------------------
- br0 -
------------------
- eth0.10
- eth0.20
-
-
- eth0.10
- eth0.20
------------------
- br1 -
------------------
eth1.10 - - eth2.20
- -
- -
----------- --------------------
- -
- -
eth0.10 192.168.1.3 eth0.20 192.168.1.4
- -
----- -----
-PC3- -PC4-
----- -----
I know I know, this configuration is quite easy and
useless, but this project is to better understanding
the use and the way of working of vlans. Here is my
question now. I can get this to work but to do this I
PC1, PC2, PC3 and PC4 must have vlan support (they are
linux machines) and of course the bridges too (they
are leaf lrp machines).
I think this ( the need of vlan support in PCx) is
because I am using V trunk port, so I need all the
machines in the configuration to support vlan. But
with this everytime I need to change something I have
to change it in the bridges and the workstations.
I read somewhere that there is another use that we
can use, the V access port where the PC�s 1,2,3 and 4
could be windows machines wich doesn�t need vlan
support.
Do you know if I can do this configuration keeping
the configuration of the bridges but using machines as
PC 1,2,3 and 4 with no vlan support.
Here is the configuration of the bridges that I did,
maybe I have to change something to get this.
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up
ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 up
ifconfig eth2 0.0.0.0 up
vconfig add eth0 10
vconfig add eth0 20
vconfig add eth1 10
vconfig add eth2 20
ifconfig eth0.10 up
ifconfig eth0.20 up
ifconfig eth1.10 up
ifconfig eth2.20 up
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif eth0
brctl addif eth1
brctl addif eth2
ifconfig br0 up
and with this it works, but as I told you before, I am
interesting in getting this to work with V access port
instead V trunk port.
Please, any ideas email me as soon as you can, I
will apreciate it, c ya
