Re: VLANs in VM

I'm still not quite sure what Paul is aiming for but my take on this is, just provide a trunk link to the virtual machines and let the system's driver take care of the 802.1q tagged packets. Then you can handle a bunch of VLANs on a single system and see how you can manipulate them. You would need a 802.1q capable switch for the trunk link though.

for voiphopper and other 802.1q I go physical, for jumping segments attacking routing protocols and other stuff with ESX I can do 802.1q in the virtual switches and use the physical one in conjunction On Sep 16, 2010, at 11:45 AM, Robin Wood wrote:On 16 September 2010 16:32, Carlos Perez <carlos_perez () darkoperator com> wrote:righ now I have an old Cisco 3550 for playing with that, best bet would be to get an old cisco, procurve, 3com ..etc from ebay each vendor has it own twist on "Standard Protocols"How is best to tie that into a VM lab? Or do you just mean plug some physical hardware in to it and go from there? I've got enough machines kicking around that I could do a physical lab but space, noise and portability have prevented me from doing it so far.On Sep 16, 2010, at 11:27 AM, Robin Wood wrote:On 16 September 2010 16:08, Matthew Manor <kingmanor () gmail com> wrote:Have you tried Vyatta? It can do most of what Cisco IOS can do but virtually, including VLANs, and you can certainly run an entire lab of VMs off of it.I've just had a quick look through it but can't tell if it would help or not. I want to put different machines in my VirtualBox lab onto different VLANs so I can experiment with them. Do you know if their software product would do that?-Matt Manor On 9/16/10, Carlos Perez <carlos_perez () darkoperator com> wrote:Do you mean having a switch with 802.1q?

They are something I've never had much chance to play with and I'd love to get it labbed up so I can. I know there are virtual systems for running IOS images but don't think I could then hang a bunch of VMs off those machines. Preferably VirtualBox methods but any VM will do.
