Hi vbox developers,
I tried to ask the following in [email protected]
without luck. Maybe someone here has some answers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm playing with Crossbow and VirtualBox on my fully patched Solaris 11.
My system has two network interfaces. The main interface (igb0) is for the host.
The second interface (igb1) is on a trunk line and my playground for crossbow.
For VirtualBox I created a new VNIC with:
# dladm create-vnic -l igb1 -v 110 sun110001
110001 = VLAN-ID * 1000 + PPA
iirc, with S11, I don't think you need to specify a PPA-hack name
anymore for VLANs. Vanity names should work, i.e. dladm create-vnic -l
igb1 -v 110 myinterface0 should work just the same.
To be able to snoop on the net I had to plumb the interface:
# ipadm create-ip sun110001
# ifconfig sun110001
sun110001: flags=201000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500
index 12
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
ether 2:8:20:14:30:39
Now I created a new VM with sun110001 as bridged interface and the same MAC
address.
You shouldn't have to manually assign the same MAC address anymore with
vboxbow. Simply passing the VNIC should be sufficient.
% VBoxManage showvminfo VM | egrep -i 'nic 1'
NIC 1: MAC: 020820143039, Attachment: Bridged Interface 'sun110001 -
Ethernet', Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82540EM,
+Reported speed: 0 Mbps, Boot priority: 0, Promisc Policy: deny
Unfortunately the VM was not able to establish a network connection as none of
the
packets got a VLAN tag.
Removing VirtualBox and reinstalling while doing a 'touch
/etc/vboxinst_vboxflt' first
installed the old vboxflt driver.
Now all network packets are tagged and everything seems to work as expected.
What's the main difference between vboxbow and vboxflt? And why does my
setup not work with vboxbow?
The main difference is vboxbow uses Solaris 11's crossbow architecture
and creates VNICs on the fly if it has to.
Have you tried using a VirtualBox VLAN VNIC template? See User Manual
chapter 9.16 VirtualBox VNIC templates for VLANs on Solaris 11. The name
is important, it *has* to beging with "vboxvnic_template".

Ram.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Willi
