Hello,
I pretty have a hard time to get port trunking properly working. I've followed the tutorial, but no arp is coming on the interface for a specific vlan. Below, what i have configured, maybe i habve missed something to configure:

# network interface settings
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet manual
iface eth1 inet manual

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
slaves eth0 eth1
bond_miimon 100
bond_mode 4

auto bond0.5
iface bond0.5 inet manual
vlan-raw-device bond0

auto bond0.6
iface bond0.6 inet manual
vlan-raw-device bond0

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 10.10.6.118
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.10.6.254
bridge_ports bond0.6
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
address 10.10.5.118
netmask 255.255.255.0
bridge_ports bond0.5
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

Then, i have configured a VM'network settings with: "Bridged mode", "VLAN Tag:5", "Bridge: vmbr1".
But no layer2 traffic...

- Do you think this configuration should be fine and working ?
- Should "VLAN aware" be checked in vmbr1 settings ?
- Is really needed for vmbr1 to have an ip address configured ?

Thank you very much,

Have a nice day !
 
- Do you think this configuration should be fine and working ?
If it would be ok, then it would work, wouldn't it? ;)
- Should "VLAN aware" be checked in vmbr1 settings ?
You can ease your setup by using a vlan_aware bridge and skip the configuration of vlans on the bond.
- Is really needed for vmbr1 to have an ip address configured ?
No. We create the first bridge and set it during install, for convenience.

Example network settings (top of my head):
Code:
# network interface settings
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet manual
iface eth1 inet manual

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
slaves eth0 eth1
bond_miimon 100
bond_mode 4

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 10.10.6.118
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.10.6.254
bridge_ports bond0
bridge_vlan_aware yes
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
Then set this on the network config tab of the VM:
Then, i have configured a VM'network settings with: "Bridged mode", "VLAN Tag:5", "Bridge: vmbr0".
 
Thank you very much !
:) yes, this: "Do you think this configuration should be fine and working ?" was like o_O

I'll try reconf as per your recomendations, and get back.
Thank you very much again !
