Does anyone have VLAN tagging working from within a guest on vmware-server? I'm running a centos 4.5 guest on a centos 5 host with vmware server 1.04 and I've tried creating vlans using both the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts method and just doing it from the cli via vconfig. Either way appears to work, the OS creates the vlans, but I think vmware's network adapter must be eating the tags or something, since the guest is not able to talk to the real vlan on the switch.
<br><br>On the host I setup vmnet3 to be bridged to eth1. I bring eth1 up on the host but don't configure it in anyway. Vmnet3 is configured as eth1 on the guest as well. If I create vlans on eth1 on the host, it is able to talk to corresponding vlans on the switch.
<br><br>I'm wondering if there's some trick to get it work or some configuration string needed in the vmx file? Right now I have the vlans setup on the host and then bridged to vmnetX adapters for the guests. But this is kind of messy since I have to take all my virtual machines down to change anything.
<br><br>Thanks!<br>Gordon<br>
