I'm working on a private cloud using cloudstack and im stuck on which networking topology i should chose. Our network is segregated by VLANS and each department has it's own VLAN. I want to add each department into CloudStack as a project and then add users into each project. Each project should have it's own VLAN.

So the KVM hosts have two physical NIC's. One dedicated purely for NFS and the other for the rest of the networking.

eth0 - General networking, VLAN trunk enabled

eth1 - NFS, no VLAN trunking enabled.

In the Basic mode i should be able to setup a single physical network with management labeled to eth0, storage labeled to eth1, and guest labeled to br0 (which is attached to eth0).

But in this scenario how can i tell each project to tag it's guests traffic to a different VLAN?

Advanced mode seems way to complex for what i want to do. I don't need a public network. We have a hardware gateway for that. I don’t need any virtual routers or anything like that as well. I just need a guest to boot tagged to a specific VLAN and the gateway should handle the DHCP and routing.
