assigning VM to a VLAN on a trunk bridge that exists on LACP bond - how to
Dear list, I am trying to create an access port on a VM to connect to VLAN (20 in my case). I am pretty sure my router and switch are setup correctly. I can assign my host machine (hypervisor) an IP address on either VLAN1 or VLAN20 by changing the configuration; in other words, it is connected to the switch via a trunk port. The host machine runs on Debian 12, has ifupdown2 installed, 8021q module is loaded at boot and its /etc/network/interfaces file reads as follows: auto lo iface lo inet loopback # bond interface auto bond0 iface bond0 inet manual bond-slaves enp5s0 enp6s0 bond-mode 802.3ad bond-xmit-hash-policy layer2+3 bond-miimon 100 bond-lacp-rate 1 bond-vlan-aware yes bond-vids 2-500 # vlan 1 auto bridge0.1 iface bridge0.1 inet static address 192.168.1.130/24 gateway 192.168.1.1 # bridge interface auto bridge0 iface bridge0 inet manual bridge-ports bond0 bridge_stp on bridge_fd 2 bridge_maxwait 0 bridge-vlan-aware yes bridge-vids 2-500 source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d EOF The host gets an IP address of 192.168.1.130 from VLAN1, as intended, by these settings. VM1 (also Debian 12) is connected to bridge0, which is designed as a trunk bridge, and CAN get an IP address in the 192.168.1.0/24 network (aka VLAN1), but CANNOT get an IP address in the 192.168.20.0/24 network 9aka VLAN20). VMs network interface is named as enp1s0 and I tried creating an interface named enp1s0.20 in its own /etc/network/interfaces file without any change in behavior. It just does not connect to VLAN20, no matter what I tried. What am I missing? I am very thankful for the pointers, and will be happy to provide further information, try recommended settings and report back. Best!
Dear list admin: I am sorry for inadvertently creating a new thread. Please feel free to delete that one. I pasted its content to this thread, but couldn't delete that myself. Thanks! I was able to achieve what I wanted to do by the /etc/network/interfaces file posted below on the host. KVM/QEMU does not accept the bridge notation with dots in it, such as bridge0.20. Instead, one needs to create a separate vlan definition and a bridge on top of that vlan. This would create an access port for the VMs that use that bridge. What I was trying to do was to create a trunk port on a bridge, and by the static IP chosen for VMs, let each VM claim their VLANs. In this working version, the access ports claim the VLAN that the VM would belong to instead. I hope that this would help people avoid the suffering Iendured during the last week to achieve this, lol!
