Hi all We running RHEV 4.1.10 on HPE Blade servers using Virtual Connect which talk to Cisco switches. I want to implement private VLANs, does the combination of oVirt + Cisco switches + HPE Virtual Connect work with private VLANs? To be clear, I want to have a couple of logical networks (i.e. VLANs) where the nodes in that VLAN cannot talk directly but must go through the router/firewall. Thanks CC

What is a 'node' in you scenario? Is this a oVirt host or a VM? May I ask what would you like to achieve? Does https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1009608 reflect what you want to achieve? Unfortunately private VLANs are not directly supported by oVirt, but there is the vdsm_hook isolatedprivatevlan in https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/tree/master/vdsm_hooks/isolatedprivatevlan which might solve your issue.
Thanks

Hello Colin, do you mean hosts inside the same vlan cannot talk to each other directly? Do you want to apply some security policies directly on single nodes (microsegmentation)? Or you want that communication between hosts placed in these two different vlans goes through firewall?
