I have an issue with VLANs that was in XCP 1.0.0 and also persisted after
the upgrade to XCP 1.1.beta. I updated to the beta because I spoke with
someone in #xen-api that suggested that a fix to the issue would be
implemented in 1.1, it seems it may have been overlooked or I have a
different issue.
Currently the server has 2 network cards:
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network
Connection (rev 05)
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network
Connection
eth0 is the designated as the management interface and is connected to a
port on VLAN 193
eth1 is the interface used by the VM's and is connected to a trunked switch
port to provide VLAN access to the VM's
Before moving eth1 to a trunked port without vlanning I could ping it's ip
address and ssh to it. After moving it to the trunked port I have no
connectivity to it whatsoever. The only way I can get a response from it is
to ping the static IP on the local machine. The VM's are using the
interface on the created VLANS almost perfectly however they sometimes
exhibit strange behaviour such as loss of connectivity when connecting to
another machine crossing over a vlan.
I setup my vlans using the XenServer guide here is the output of pif-list:

I suspected that the issue may lie here:

device ( RO): eth1

network-uuid ( RO): df87728a-e4a7-a16e-9f8c-c4c4c26dc35f
************************************************************************************
where the eth1 interface is assigned a VLAN value of -1 when it should be on
the 201 network. When I try to do
xe pif-param-set uuid=e602777f-b4e9-e231-7858-81189c47c434 VLAN=201
I get:
Error: Field 'VLAN' is read-only.
How can I assign the interface to the correct VLAN so I can use it again for
traffic to the server?
