  • == KVM / VLAN / Bonding / Bridging ==

    Posted on

    Hi I would like to know the best setup up if I have a 3 VLANs will be used over two physical links enp2s0 , enp3s0 trunked server by default has 2 NICs (note : server capable of creating vNICs as well) so in the current case server by default have vNIC enp2s0 , enp3s0 prepresented to OS

    So I will have VLAN 100 with one IP address for management Host bare metal RHEL 7.0

    On top of the host will install KVM to deploy 2 VMs

    VM1 : using VLAN 200 and - one interface - one IP address VM2 : using VLAN 200, VLAN300 and two interfaces two IP addresses

    • How many bond should I use ... I assume one ? (enp2s0 , enp3s0) ?

      Do I need to create all the VLANs over that bond ? or create multiple vNIC
      like enp4 , enp5 ... on the physical server ?
      what is the proper pinning VLANs ?

    • How many bridge should be created ? knowing the VMs also need to be communicated with each other.

    I am looking at any help on how this can be implemented when it comes to routing , pinning ,,, networking etc ?

    Thanks in advance
