Hi, is this feasable to do? I'm trying to run some servers inside of a ESXi host that uses a OpenvSwitch with VLAN tagged ports. I've tagged the port group with 4095 in the ESXi host and then inside the VM I do:<br>
ovs-vsctl add-br br-virtual<br>ovs-vsctl add-port br-virtual eth1<br>ovs-vsctl add-port br-virtual vlan61 tag=61 -- set Interface vlan61 type=internal<br>ifconfig vlan61 172.16.59.X/24<br><br>But if I try to get traffic going on the vlan61 interface all I can get going is L2 traffic, L3 is jammed. And I know there's hosts there that's up and running because I have 2 physical nodes on the same VLAN using the method described above and they work perfectly.<br>
<br>Though the funny bit is if I setup the VLAN interface using<br>vconfig add eth1 61<br>ifconfig eth1.61 172.16.59.X/24<br><br>I can ping other hosts on the VLAN but not when using the OVS method?<br><br>I am basically trying to achieve something like RS does with their private "cloud on cloud" terminology, where you run the cloud services in a virtual environment rather then in a physical one.<br>

<br>Basically the original issue was that I would have L3 connectivity issues between my instances on the compute nodes and the Router / DHCP part running on the Virtual machine inside the Hypervisor running those services but L2 worked fine.<div>
<br>Can anyone help me figure this out? I feel that VLANs are maybe incompatible for my wanted setup and maybe tunneling would be way better?<br><br>Endre.</div>
