[Bug 415389] New: vlan support in initrd
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.

It can be dropped in /lib/mkinitrd/boot. Maybe you need a script in /lib/mkinitrd/setup too; mine essentially does nothing at all: #!/bin/bash # #%stage: device #%depends: iscsi nfs network Not sure about the depends: line. Of course the real thing needs to be rewritten such that it parses the kernel command line; it should need two parameters: the physical device (ethX) and the vlan number (2-4096). Something like this: vlan=eth1:2 should create a vlan2 interface attached to eth1. See also /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-802.1q. -- 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.

You may however want to take the different naming styles for vlan interfaces into account. Refer to the 'vconfig' output for the (four) different naming styles. -- 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.
