A quick update on this. As suggested by members of the community, I created a nova blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/expose-vlan-trunking, and posted a spec for Queens here: https://review.openstack.org/471815. Sean Mooney suggested in his review that automatic vlan subinterface configuration in the guest should be enabled/disabled on per trunk basis. I think that it’s a good idea. But to do that requires API and database schema changes. If it’s something that the community would like to go with, then I’d think it requires a RFE from the neutron side. We need reviews and feedbacks to move this forward.

I was aware of this https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1631371, but not the blueprint you wrote. As suggested by Matt in https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1693535, I wrote a blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/expose-vlan-trunking, trying to tackle it in a simple manner. --Robert On 6/6/17, 7:35 AM, "Bence Romsics" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Robert, I'm late to this thread, but let me add a bit. There was an attempt for trunk support in nova metadata on the Pike PTG: https://review.openstack.org/399076 But that was abandoned right after the PTG, because the agreement seemed to be in favor of putting the trunk details into the upcoming os-vif object. The os-vif object was supposed to be described in a new patch set to this change: https://review.openstack.org/390513 Unfortunately there's not much happening there since. Looking back now it seems to me that turning the os-vif object into a prerequisite made this work too big to ever happen. I definitely didn't have the time to take that on. But anyway I hope the abandoned spec may provide relevant input to you.
