Stephanie: Considering I went through some trial and error in getting this setup in a similar trial platform:
Trunk port to 1 nic is likely what you want to do, and then create the various interfaces for it -- eth0.[vlan] (e.g. eth0.100 for instance). But nothing is stopping you from going for the multinic approach. Both seem to work for me. I ultimately went with trunk instead, as a personal preference. You'll only need to create these interfaces for registration, isolation, and mac detection above the one for management. Set the management vlan as the primary nic to use helped alot. (DEFROUTE=yes) The one thing I was uncertain with the first go around was whether I needed an interface for each network I wanted to manage, and this would be unnecessary. You will run into a situation where you wont be able to "ping" all of the interfaces even if they are routable on your switches, because the routing engine on the linux platform is only setup to have one route out, and that causes some routing problems. You can spend gobs of time trying to fix this with messing with the routing table, but his is not a problem however with the implementation and does not need to be addressed. ********************************************** Email Disclaimer: This email, including attachments, may contain proprietary, confidential or privileged information.
