I'm working on getting my lab up and running using the breakout switch method on an Ubuntu Server 12.04 x64 server. I can't seem to get the trunk on the server working though. Can someone post a snip-it of their interfaces file? I was hoping that it behaved like a dot1q trunk in Cisco world, but that doesn't seem to be the case. There's no trunk allowed type command from what I can gather. Do I just make a sub for each VLAN going over the trunk like below? I really, really dislike that I have to assign an IP when using the static command so I'm hoping one of you network wizards knows a trick to this. I tried only using auto ethX and setting the MTU but it error'd out. So, apparently either you assign an IP or you assign DHCP but you have to do one or the other. Anyone see an issue with assigning a /32 in the 127.0.0.0/8 network to these since I have to give it something?
