Hi,
is it possible to define dot1q subinterfaces on Solaris 10. And then each
specific subinterface is assigned to different zone.
In the end I want to have couple of zones with ip addresses from different
networks. Each zone uses different vlan id. Server is connected to a dot1.q
switch/router that understand vlan id.

thanks,
j

I believe the interface has to support the .1q, not just solaris. HME
doesn't support it, but some of the other ones do. Which interfaces do
you have?

Hi,
Server has eri and qfe NICs. I have read that only Gigaeth interfaces
support vlan trunking on Sun. Correct ?
But, even if I had Gigaeth card on Sun, I am wondering how would I add that
specific interface to a zone ? If I remember correctly, only physcial
interface can be assigned to a zone, not logical. In fact, logical interface
is created during zone configuration.
I want to have:
zone1 eri0:1 192.168.1.1/24 vlan1
zone2 eri0:2 192.168.2.1/24 vlan2
etc

thanks,
jmiklo

VLAN tagging is supported only on the newer-generation "GigaSwift"
gigabit network cards; those appear as "ce" devices in your system.
On "hme", "qfe" and "ge" cards VLAN tagging is not supported.

VLAN tagging was also supported in old "vge" SBus gigabit cards, but
those are obsolete nowadays.

I don't think eri supports it, only bge and ce, but I'm not completely
certain about that.

I think in this case the vlan tagged interface looks a lot more like a
physical one than a logical one. You add the vlan to the end.

Say you have 'ce0' as a traditional physical interface.

I think the formula is VlanID * 1000 + instance number. So VLAN 5 on
device ce0 would be device ce5000. I don't have one to try, but if you
hand that to zonecfg as the physical interface, I think it should bring
up a logical interface on it. (You may need to at least plumb the
interface in the global zone first).

Yes it works as long as your using ce cards, setup you vlan interfaces in
the global zones then assign them to sub zones like any normal interface
when you create your zone.

This also works in an mpathd configuration.

Note that wider VLAN support is in Open Solaris and coming to Solaris
Express.
