I need to statically configure an Open vSwitch "fake bridge", so that I
can attach VMs to a specific VLAN. There doesn't seem to be any
specific support for this in the ifup scripts, so I'm using the
following:
DEVICE=ovs0.249
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=no
TYPE=OVSBridge
DEVICETYPE=ovs
OVS_OPTIONS="ovs0 249"
This works, but it relies on a quirk of the ifup-ovs script, which could
potentially change at any time. Does anyone have a better way?
(I know that later versions of libvirt have explicit support for VLANs
with Open vSwitch; I'm wondering if there's a better way to do it with
the software included in F17.)
Thanks!
