Hi James,
What happens if you run 'ifup vlan<num>'?
ifup vlan2 vlan2 interface eth2 is not available Cannot find device "vlan2" Cannot enable interface vlan2. interface vlan2 is not up
Looks like eth2 is missing.
ifconfig eth2 eth2: error fetching interface information: Device not found
Yes it sounds like the driver has not been loaded, what kind of card is this?
Also, monkeying around with 'this', I need to (re)think about my context here ...
My current goal is to run a NAS server in one DomU, and serve NFS from it to other DomUs (& the Dom0) over a dedicated/isolated VLAN.
As I muddle through this setup, I'm not at all certain that Bridge/VLAN in Dom0 is the right approach here. :-/ Thoughts?
So, if I'm reading this right, you're not connecting the VLAN trunk to a switch? If you only want to allow domU's to talk to each other, and maybe the host, you don't want VLANs at all. You just need a private bridge with no initial ports. Just remove vlan2 from your BRIDGE_PORTS setting on your existing bridge. If you want, you could even set an IP address on the bridge so that dom0 would also have access to the network. I sometimes even run a DHCP server on the bridge to simplify the configuration of any domUs on it. So, for ifcfg-brTEST: IPADDR='10.1.1.1/24' BRIDGE='yes' BRIDGE_PORTS='' BRIDGE_FORWARDDELAY='0' BRIDGE_STP='off' BOOTPROTO='static' STARTMODE='auto' -- James Oakley jfunk@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+help@opensuse.org
