Describe your feature Enable user to specify the value of a management vlan

Feature Details Stage of Experiment when feature is active: (Creation, Start, Post Start, Running, Stop, Delete) stage: Creation Where should feature be visible (current phenix tab and general location or propose a new tab, or not visible) view: Experiment Create window above vlan specification

Expected behavior Minimega will honor requested vlan as the management vlan and stand up experiment management network on that vlan

This feature can not be reliably be achieved from the GUI interface. However the functionality does exist in the specification of an experiment via config file. Ex. vlans: type: object title: VLANs properties: aliases: type: object title: Aliases additionalProperties: type: integer //xample: MGMT: 200 min: type: integer max: type: integer

After discussions with other team members though of parsing topology and displaying dropdown for VLAN selection need to be explored.

Created a prototype for this feature. The management alias is selected from a list of vlan aliases from the loaded topology. The vlan id must be within the vlan range specified. The prototype has been implemented in this branch https://github.com/eric-c-wood/minimega-phenix/tree/mgntVlan
