I would like to ask about status of VDE and libvirt. I found a thread from http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2008-February/msg00030.html.
AFAIK, vde_switch is still unsupported by libvirt and nobody seems to work on it these days. Most people wanting vde_switch (or open vswitch) enough leave libvirt.
I am not interested in connecting the VDE to the outside world. I have created a FW machine using macvtap. To this machine I would like to attach machines from different zones (dmz, prod, cust). I was thinking on using VDE and vlans (FW would have 1 interface in each vlan - machines also), but I am not aware how to configure this in libvirt.
I now assume I can do the same setup with regular bridges for the moment
Yes, this is what I do for now.
(benefit of VDE would be only 1 switch for many vlans).
Plus more features (i.e.: easy virtual switch link between hosts), maintenance facilities, etc. -- Nicolas Sebrecht
