bhyve networking

[Paul Esson]

Hi Rod,
Can you share a command line for that?  I also tried presenting an access port from my switch on a specific VLAN - not trimmed.  Would I still have to tag the interface on the guest in that scenario?

Regards,

How have you configured your vtnet devices inside the guest?  If your pass a "trunked" ethernet device
to a guest the guest is going to need to run vlan decapuslation.  I do this here, and it works fine.

vtnet0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=80028<VLAN_MTU,JUMBO_MTU,LINKSTATE>
        ether 58:9c:fc:0e:8b:ec
        nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
        media: Ethernet 10Gbase-T <full-duplex>
        status: active
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
        options=600003<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6>
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
        nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
        groups: lo
vlan48: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        ether 58:9c:fc:0e:8b:ec

        nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
        media: Ethernet 10Gbase-T <full-duplex>

I have two NICs and have configured the first (igb0) on a management network and want to use the second (igb1) for VMs.  However, I can't get any VM to communicate through the virtual switch if I have igb1 added to it.  If I take the NIC out of the switch and configure an ipv4 address on it I can reach other hosts on the relevant subnet so I believe the poet set-up is valid.  If I replace igb1 in the switch with igb0, I can then configure VMs on my management network and they have network connectivity.  Can I only use
