Cool. I figured out how to configure my KVM host to use a trunked VLAN for multiple subnet access. I can now land a VM on any subnet. Still reviewing if my process is right but here is a script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#!\/bin\/bash\nVMINT=\"en0\"\nVLANINT=\"vmnetwork\"\nBRIDGE=\"vmbridge\"\nVLANTAG=199\n\n# Bridge should already exist but here is how to create it\nnmcli connection add type bridge \\\n ifname ${BRIDGE} \\\n con-name ${BRIDGE}\n\n# Attach VLAN interface to the bridge\nnmcli connection add type vlan \\\n ifname ${VLANINT}${VLANTAG} \\\n con-name ${VLANINT}${VLANTAG} \\\n dev ${VMINT} id ${VLANTAG} \\\n master ${BRIDGE}\n\nnmcli con mod ${BRIDGE} ipv4.method \"disabled\"\nnmcli con mod ${BRIDGE} ipv6.method \"disabled\"\n\ncat << ENDOFFILE > $VLANINT.xml \n<network>\n <name>'$VLANINT'<\/name>\n <forward mode='bridge'\/>\n <bridge name='$BRIDGE'\/>\n<\/network>\nENDOFFILE\n\nvirsh net-define ${VLANINT}.xml\nvirsh net-start ${VLANINT}\nvirsh net-autostart ${VLANINT}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nReally cool, another step towards bailing on ESXi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
