Creating a Tunnel on a Guest VM where OVS Bridges, Interfaces and Tunnels are Present

[minorsatellite]

I have a guest VM that was just provisioned for network monitoring running on a Proxmox host where VLAN-aware OVS interfaces already exist for the numerous VLANs that currently pass tagged-traffic to my VMs. The design goal is to create a trunked interface on the Linux guest so that it can communicate with ALL of the same VLANs present on the OVS bridge. What I have read so far seems to suggest that I need to create a new Linux bridge for this setup, but context is important, and I am not sure if this would be compatible with my OVS environment. Also, I don't see any detailed instructions on how to pull this off.

I am hoping here that someone has previously come across a setup like this and can give me so guidance.

Thanks in advance.

You can just add the VM to the existing ovs bridge and leave the VM interface untagged. This should make it an access port and it should allow all vlans.

Hi, this actually DOES NOT work. If i remove the current VLAN ID (101) I can no longer access the VM at all over the native VLAN (101) Thoughts?
