If your question is "Whether it is possible to specify VLAN tag in Domain XML file" then the answer is "No". But, you can always invoke ovs-vsctl manually to add a tag to the VM's interface after it was already created (if this is an option to you). It is possible to do that adding vlanid=number in the virtualport definition and translating it with ovs-vsctl --tag=number in virdnetevopenvswitch.c . Do you think that a patch that includes this functionality would be accepted? Thanks, Daniele So my question is: is it possible to create a tagged port? How? Otherwise, would it be useful to add this functionality? Thanks, Daniele Milani
