Do you have a default vlan configured on the switch that is the same as the one you are trying to use? If so, that would explain the problem because it will cause the packets to be sent untagged on the assumption that the remote switch will interprete them as the same vlan. You could try creating a vlan with vconfig to see if it recognizes the tagged traffic. > From your point of view what will be the best manner to have the thing works > ?

Assuming that the physical switch is configured correctly, the situation is improving with newer kernels and should be resolved for all devices when Linux 3.1 is released. A distribution such as Ubuntu that is more aggressive about tracking kernel releases will likely have better results. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
