Hi,
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
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.
% 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 taged 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?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Willi
