Help with new install

[andrewwong2000]

As a new VE7.1 user (from ESXI7) I was trying to get my network setup working the same way.

I am currently using the following fully working configuration (edited):

iface enp2s0f0 inet manual
#10gig_novlan

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.8.5/24
gateway 192.168.8.1
bridge-ports enp2s0f0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

But what I was trying to do and couldn't get the Guest to connect to VLAN 30 when I configured the Network options with tag=30.
(I did have the port on my switch set to Tagged, VLAN30 when trying this, and I could ping the management if from VLAN30)

iface enp2s0f0.30 inet static
address 192.168.8.5/24
gateway 192.168.8.1
#10gig_managementlan_on_VLAN30

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
bridge-ports enp2s0f0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge_vids 1-4096
#same10gig_guests_free_to_choose_any_VLAN_including_30

Is there a limitation on the management VLAN and guest VLANs being the same VLAN ?

bridge_vids 1-4096

that should be 2-4094.

If that does not help, what NIC is in use there? There are some NICs that cannot handle the full range of VLANs when that is offloaded. In that case it can help to reduce the number of VLANs in the bridge_vids section to the ones used. For example:

bridge_vids 30 40-50 52 58

If you have some single VLANs and a range that you use.
