Are there any plans to support configuring 802.1q VLAN tagging through libvirt?
My understanding is that libvirt would use vconfig to create tagged interfaces, while using a physical interface as trunk (e.g., eth0 is the trunk, eth0.20 the interface with the '20' vlan tag).
Yes, this type of configuration is within scope of the network interface management APis, that Laine & David Lutterkort are currently working on. THe underlying config will be done by netcf library.
I don't know how libvirt would need to be extended to be able to properly 'manage' those 802.1q-enabled virtual switches. Another question would be how libvirt-CIM would support this.
Once libvirt provides the network interface functionality, then the libvirt-CIM developers can map it into the appropriate DMTF schema Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
