[Users] Same VLAN id, for different physical networks.
Hey, in my ovirt datacenter, I have two physical networks (one I use for access, and one is internal for runing backups etc). They have different IP addresses, but are created with same VLAN ids on both physical networks. When I try to add those two networks in ovirt i get a (when I try to add a VLAN with id 4): Error: The specified VLAN ID (4) is already in use. Anyone had simmilar issues and is there a way to fix this? -- Mvh Alfred Angelov

may i ask about the use case of using two interfaces on same vlan? I assume they are connected to same switch? (it means probably outbound routing goes only via one of the two interfaces?)
Hey, I might not have been clear on the description, let me try to be more clear: I got three physically different networks: - access network (gives internet access and has routes etc) - backup network (is an internal network without routing) - storage network (is used for ovirtmngt and connection to a storage sollution) Both networks have separate switches and and cables, etc; but for simplicity’s sake I use same VLAN IDs on both of them for those VPSses/Servers that have a VLAN. In ovirt I have different NICs for those two networks; it looks something like this: - NIC1 - access network untagged - NIC2 - access network VLANs (this actually a bonded interface of two NICs so it provides redundancy - this works fine) - NIC3 - backup network untagged - NIC4 - backup network VLANs (this is not bonded, as it does not need redundancy) - NIC5/6 - storage network (which is also a bonded interface that is also the ovirtmngmt network) I run the same network setup on all the hosts (currently 4). As said NIC2 and NIC4 are used for VLANS, so when I wanted to add VLAN 4 for the access and backup network I have gotten the error:
Error: The specified VLAN ID (4) is already in use.
I hope this makes things more clear? Mvh Alfred Angelov On 06/10/2013 08:02 PM, Itamar Heim wrote:

Hello Alfred, While having two networks with the same VLAN tag in the same DC makes sense, it is not currently supported in oVirt (though this issue has been raised before and it might be supported in future versions). For the time being, you might be able to first add the network as non-VLAN, and then force-tag it via the database. I'm not sure this would work (you might get stuck on some validation somewhere else), but it might be worth a shot. Yours, Lior. On 10/06/13 22:21, Alfred Angelov wrote:
