Hello,

I am new in this forum and I have already looked at many posts about VLANs but I cannot find the answer to my question.
I am using proxmox 2.2 to create some KVM guest.

I would like to manage the VLAN inside my VM without having to create a bridge for each VLAN.

Is it possible to forward all the vlan to one bridge on the host, and then bridge my VMs on this bridge ? In this way I would be able to create my tagged interface inside the VM without doing anything on the hosts by adding eth0.VLANID in the gest network file : /etc/network/interfaces.

Here is what I would like to do:
Host:
- eth0 : bridged to vmbr0 for host management (not tagged) --> DONE
- eth1 : bridged to vmbr1 (or something else) forwarding all vlan. Then I would bridge my KVM on this trunk bridge and manage my tagged interface inside the guests. --> NOT DONE

Any help is appreciated
 
Not really, beacause when I do that, my VM is in access mode.
What I want to do is forwarding all the VLAN to the VM, and then the VM will do its own choice of VLAN to set up.
I need a bridge in trunk mode with all vlan ?
 
Yes I would like to use a tagged trunk on which I would bridge my VMs.

Because what snowman66 is not what I want to do, the VM would just be in access "mode" on this interface.
