[pve-devel] [PATCH] tap_plug : add support for vlan aware linux bridge

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

Another way,

but I'm not sure it's working, is to tag 802.1ad on the physical interface




eth0.10---->vmbrcustomer<--(vlanX)------tapX 



auto vmbrcustomer1
iface vmbrcustomer1 inet manual
        bridge_vlan_aware yes
        bridge_ports eth0.10
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0
        pre-up ip link add link eth0 eth0.10 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 10

>>Hi Alexandre, 
Hi, 

>>We also use QinQ and have submitted patches for the previous network implementation that made use of a "bridge in bridge" design to achieve the QinQ functionality. 

They are also a new way to implement q-in-q with vlan aware bridge 

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ethernet-bridging/msg05514.html 

+----+ +-------+p/u +------+ +----+ +--+ 
|eth0|--|802.1ad|----veth----|802.1Q|--|vnet|--|VM| 
+----+ |bridge | |bridge| +----+ +--+ 
+-------+ +------+ 

p/u: pvid/untagged 



Currently we have implemented 802.1Q bridge. 

for qinq, we need to create a root bridge, with 802.1ad enabled, linked through a veth pair to 802.1Q bridge. 


The qinq bridge is managed exactly in the same way than 802.1ad, but it's enabled with 
echo 0x88a8 > /sys/class/net/XXX/bridge/vlan_protocol 

for example 
------------ 
eth0----vmbr0--(vlan10)<---brigelink-------bridgelinkpeer---->vmbrcustomer<--(vlanX)------tapX 


brctl addbr vmbr0 
echo 0x88a8 > /sys/class/net/vmbr0/bridge/vlan_protocol 
ip link add dev bridgelink type veth peer name bridgelinkpeer 
brctl addif vmbr0 bridgelink 
brctl addif vmbrcustomer1 bridgelinkpeer 
bridge vlan add dev bridgelink vid 10 pvid untagged 


something like that 


I can try to make a patch, but I don't have hardware which support q-in-q for testing.

Hi Alexandre, 
We also use QinQ and have submitted patches for the previous network implementation that made use of a "bridge in bridge" design to achieve the QinQ functionality. 

The new vlan aware bridge implementation will be a lot cleaner. 

When your patches are ready we will test them and provide feedback. 


Thanks, 



Andrew

does somebody have tested my vlan bridges patches ? (note that that need iproute2 from debian sid, for vlan ranges) 

It's working really fine here, I'm looking to add a patch for Q-in-Q bridge too. (I think Stefan Priebe use them)

I manage it like openvswitch, 

vlan tagging is always done on the main bridge, not firewall bridge. 


> + if ($firewall) {

create_firewall_bridge_linux($iface, $bridge, $tag) 
have 

- &$bridge_add_interface($bridge, $vethfwpeer); 
+ &$bridge_add_interface($bridge, $vethfwpeer, $tag); #tag on the main bridge 
- return $fwbr; 
+ &$bridge_add_interface($fwbr, $iface); # add vm tap interface on fwbridge without vlan tag

Why is `bridge_add_interface` now restricted to the firewall-else 
branch?
