GitHub user StepBee added a comment to the discussion: Network VF (SR-IOV) options / questions (need a few hundred VLANs in guest)
Hi @bradh352 , an interesting case you have, and i see the requirement for VLAN-trunk enabled VMs coming up in more and more requests - one of them being [https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/11491](https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/11491) where you are involved already as well. In your specific usecase an idea which came up to my mind is the use of VXLAN. Maybe you could encapsulate your VLANs into VNIs and setup a VXLAN connection between your networking devices (switches?) and your VM within cloudstack via a layer 3 path - so your VM being a VTEP for the VXLAN connection as well? I didn't fully think it through but your scenario sounds special and special requirements sometimes require special solutions. In regards to pinning a VM to a host - one very simple solution would be the use of a specific host-tag (i.e. sriovnic01_host01) and creating a compute offering using this host-tag. As a result the VM will always we scheduled to run on the host with this specific tag.
