Question: Using tag vlan in Linux host possible?

[Sispheor]

Hi, I try to simulate an HPE switch by using the Linux host with vlan tagging.

Here is the interface config

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth1
iface eth1

auto eth1.165
iface eth1.165
    address 10.162.0.20/20
    vlan-raw-device eth1

auto eth1.167
iface eth1.167
    address 10.162.24.20/21
    vlan-raw-device eth1

The nvue config:

bridge:
      domain:
        br_default:
          vlan:
            '165': {}
            '167': {}
            '2': {}
    interface:
      lo:
        type: loopback
        ip:
          address:
            127.0.0.1/8: {}
            172.30.0.1/32: {}
      vlan165:
        description: SVI to test External network connectivity
        type: svi
        vlan: 165
        ip:
          address:
            10.162.0.13/20: {}
      vlan167:
        description: SVI to test OAM network connectivity
        type: svi
        vlan: 167
        ip:
          address:
            10.162.24.12/21: {}
      swp30:
        bridge:
          domain:
            br_default:
              vlan:
                '165': {}
                '167': {}

Ping it's not working between the two device. I was wondering if there is any Docker limitation for this kind of deployment. The Linux host is a Debian. May I need to add the "vlan" package to the Dockerfile. Did you ever try this?

Thanks a lot for your time !

I don't think there should be a limitation here, most likely a configuration issue. you can use tcpdump to see if any packets are being send/received on the interconnected interfaces

Thanks, I'll dig
