Stared at the code. Ran a full set of t_client/t_server tests with
disabled VLAN tagging (no change, no brokenness).
With enabled VLAN tagging and using "untagged mode" it now correctly
sorts out packets tap <-> client and client1 <-> client2 according
to PVID - if PVIDs match, devices can talk and broadcasts are seen,
and if they do not match, no communication happens. Great.
One bug for the upcoming documentation: if there is *no* "vlan-pvid"
setting in a ccd/ file, it will not use "1" but the "global vlan-pvid"
setting. Which, as we just agreed on, makes sense, just needs to be
documented.
If enabling "tagging only" ("vlan-accept tagged") half the openvpn server
config stops having a meaning - like "ifconfig" or "ifconfig-pool" - so
you really want tap devices that are setup outside of OpenVPN or
by means of a --up script (setting up dot1q subinterfaces, ifconfig,
set up routes, etc.). Just pointing this out for the sake of the
archives.
For reference: this is what you'd do on Linux to set up VLAN subinterfaces
(vlan 200 on tap9)
# modprobe 8021q
# ip link add link tap9 name tap9.200 type vlan id 200
# ip addr add 10.204.4.1/24 dev tap9.200
# ip addr add fd00:abcd:204:4::1/64 dev tap9.200
# ip link set up dev tap9.200
(openvpn running on "--dev tap9")
That said, tagged mode works nicely - client packets are sent to tap0
with "vlan 207" visible in tcpdump, and linux "tap9.207" picks them
up correctly and clients can talk. Clients in a different VLAN show
up with a different vlan tag, etc. - as one would expect. If you want
"clients in vlan 200" to talk to "clients in vlan 207", it needs to be
done with linux routing between "tap9.200" and "tap9.207" - which I did
test, and it also works as expected.
Full set of t_server test passed with enabled vlan tagging (rearranging
tap clients into different vlans and adding IP forwarding etc)
Your patch has been applied to the master branch.
