Hi,

I used the instructions/scripts at the following link to do my VLAN's.
Works pretty well!

http://renial.net/weblog/

I think that vlanbr2 is bridge for vlan 2 and vlanbr3 for vlan 3.
If I want to use vlan 2 and vlan 3 in one domU I should write in config
vif = [ 'bridge=vlanbr2', 'bridge=vlanbr3' ] and in this domU I will get
two interfaces eth0 and eth1. Is it correct?
But I want to have another, I want to have on domU all these vlans on
one interface and configure it through vconfig.

not tested but I don't see why it wouldn't work.... you could just
manually add the extra vlans in to the network-bridge-vlan script, with
lines like this

vconfig add ${netdev} 2
vconfig add ${netdev} 3
vconfig add ${netdev} 4

etc...

have you tried it?

this will add separate interfaces on dom0?

Hello.
I'm trying to use vlan in domU, but have something strange:
I created bridge on eth0. This interface was configured as trunk with
vlan 300, 301. I use this bridge in my domU, and I can see tagged
packets when run tcpdump in domU. Also I created interface on domU to
work with vlan 300. On this interface I see untagged packets in vlan300.
And everything looks fine.
But when I'm trying to send out packets through interface with vlan300
something happen. On domU in eth0 interface i see that packet was tagged
as vlan 300, but on dom0 I see that package doesn't have tag and sending
to switch as untagged which is incorrect.

Why does kernel remove tag from outgoing packets?
Is anyone using trunk inside of domU?

I'm using xen 3.4.3 on Centos 5.5 with kernel 2.6.18.


I'm not sure I quite understand what you want to do, but I think you need to 
use ebtables, in particular the 'broute' table, to tell Linux how you want 
tagged packets to behave. One thing I was never able to do was to tell Linux to 
place a copy of the tagged packet on one bridge so that I could have a trunk to 
a DomU whilst simultaneously l2 routing packets to their correct interfaces.
