esxi and freebsd vlans

[Sebastiaan van Erk]

Hi,

I ran into the ESXi limit of 4 NICs per VM, so I figured I would work 
around this using FreeBSD's vlan devices.

I made 2 test installs with the following interface configuration:

test1:
ifconfig em0 inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig vlan create
ifconfig vlan0 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 22 vlandev em0

test2:
ifconfig em0 inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig vlan create
ifconfig vlan0 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 22 vlandev em0

I can ping the other machine using the 10.10.10.x IP address no problem, 
but the 192.168.1.x addresses don't work. I've tried setting the vlan id 
on the vSwitch to none and to 22, but in neither of the two cases does 
it work.

Does anybody have FreeBSD vlan's working on ESXi or know how to get it 
working?

Many thanks,
Sebastiaan van Erk
