List,
I have an environment with multiple ovs bridges, each containing a real ethernet interface and one or more virtual interfaces belonging to xen guests. I want to try and figure out how or if it's possible to allow trunks containing distinct sets of 8021q tags, on a single physical interface, to be set into different ovs bridges. For example: Lets say ixgbe0 is a 10gig interface, and it has vlans 100 - 399 present on it. What I may want is to say, ovs-bridge 'public', to have ixgbe0 vlans 100 - 102, and ovs-bridge 'private' to have ixgbe0 vlans 200 - 202, and ovs-bridge 'dev' to have ixgbe0 300 - 302. I think I can create vlan subinterfaces: ip link add link ixgbe0 name vlan100 type vlan id 100 ip link add link ixgbe0 name vlan101 type vlan id 101 ip link add link ixgbe0 name vlan102 type vlan id 102 ip link add link ixgbe0 name vlan200 type vlan id 200 ip link add link ixgbe0 name vlan201 type vlan id 201 ip link add link ixgbe0 name vlan202 type vlan id 202 ip link add link ixgbe0 name vlan300 type vlan id 300 ip link add link ixgbe0 name vlan301 type vlan id 301 ip link add link ixgbe0 name vlan302 type vlan id 302 and then individually put each into the ovs-bridge, but this is really ugly. It would be far more efficient to instead tell ovs to simply trunk the required vlans in each of the ovs-bridges. This would cut down on configuration effort, errors, and be far easier to maintain. Can anyone suggest how this might be possible? Thank you.
