https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=415389 Summary: vlan support in initrd Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Booting AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: erik@hensema.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- It would be very useful to be able to create vlan network interfaces in initrd via kernel command line parameters. This makes network support in initrd more complete. In our case we need vlan support because all servers have two physical network interfaces. eth0 is connected to the default vlan, which is internet in our case. eth1 is a trunk interface connected to several internal vlans. We need the vlans to seperate traffic from different virtual machines. Only one vlan supports nfs, other vlans are more restricted or private to a customer owning a virtual machine. Because a xen dom0 server doesn't need much diskspace, we boot them from the network. This requires the initrd to login to the nfs server, which requires vlan support. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
