Working at the network management, I am a bit confused about the VLAN model in libvirt. in the xml definition, there is a section as following: <devices> <interface type='network'> <source network='default'/> </interface> ... <interface type='network'> <source network='default' portgroup='engineering'/> <target dev='vnet7'/> <mac address="00:11:22:33:44:55"/> <virtualport type='802.1Qbg'> <parameters managerid='11' typeid='1193047' typeidversion='2' instanceid='09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f'/> </virtualport> </interface> </devices> What is the really meaning of its related parameters of "virtualport"? I want to discover informations such as VLAN id, the switch type( software switch or hardware switch), connecting relationship, but from the xml I can only found "managerid". I am not sure how to map these xml information to those I needed, could I consider managerid as VLAN id, and a portgroup as a specified VLAN group? By the way to use virtualport, what components should I install on Linux? -- Best Regards Wayne Xia mail:xiawenc@linux.vnet.ibm.com tel:86-010-82450803 _______________________________________________________ kvm-cstl mailing list <kvm-cstl@lists.linux.ibm.com> To unsubscribe from the list, change your list options or if you have forgotten your list password visit: http://lists.linux.ibm.com/mailman/listinfo/kvm-cstl
