How do you work around the 4096 VLANs limitation?
It is understood that the maximum number of VLAN is 4096 in advanced zone. and it is very common one account can own 3-4 VLANs in practice. maybe more. therefore hundreds of account can be only supported in one zone. how you beyond this limitation? To add more zones? best regards

At the moment, the only way is to add additional availability zones, however there are some plans to support VXLAN with Felton Release!

To add more zones? > More zones is one way. Marcus wrote QinQ support (I think it's KVM only) , which is another potential solution. You can also get away from VLANs and use pther isolation methods like security groups or some of the SDN solutions (Nicira NVP, GRE tunnels, etc)

Marcel, Apache CloudStack has no such "release" called Felton. Please don't discuss a commercial product that happens to be based on CloudStack as if it is CloudStack. As for VXLAN support, it has only been discussed within the context of adding ASA 1000v support (and within that discussion it was moved to "open items" in the spec). If folks think this is a good addition, please weigh in here or on the dev list.

I apologize for that, that was my mistake. Lets say in future releases... -Original Message- From: Chip Childers [mailto:chip.child...@sungard.com] Sent: Donnerstag, 28.

Re: How do you work around the 4096 VLANs limitation?
I know my work place would be certainly interested in VXLAN support. The truth is, depending on your network gear... you may not come close to being able to use 4096 VLAN's (which is itself even can be a lie, since you need the better top half of that range with Cisco gear for cisco'ish things) ... and then never mind if you use stuff like UCS which only supports 1024 VLAN's last I checked.

There's a related scaling limit that's sometimes called "vlan port count" that matters as well, which, depending on your VM density, can drastically effect the scaling of a zone that uses VLAN isolation. Other vendors have similar constraints, and some are actually tied to a specific chipset that many switch vendors use. > > > On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 11:34 AM, Marcel Keller > wrote: > > > I apologize for that, that was my mistake.

Good to see it's going into Felton but that's the Citrix roll. What version of CloudStack will VXLAN support be available?

If there is interest, the GRE controller implementation can be easily be extended to KVM and "productized" https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/mg-MAQ is the feature And https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/nA-MAQ are some unimplemented improvements On 3/28/13 1:13 PM, "Kelly Hair" wrote: >Good to see it's going into Felton but that's the Citrix roll.
