The vmware workstation virtual network editor cannot bridge to a vlan interface
Follow the below procedures :
1. edit /etc/vmware/networking
2. append the line : add_bridge_mapping vlan4 3
3. vmware-networks –stop;vmware-networks –start
4. vmware-networks –status and you will get : Bridge networking on vmnet3 is running
5. select /dev/vmnet3 at your vm settings and it is bridge to vlan interface : vlan4
Hi There,,
Thanks for the config..
do you know if this passes vlan tagging through the interface?
using centos 6 with vmware WS 8,
i have two vlans configured under my eth0 (eth0.100, eth0.200)..
i configured the networking config appending:
add_bridge_mapping eth0.100 3
add_bridge_mapping eth0.200 4
wondering if these interfaces will tag going out eth0?!?
i’m currently waiting on hardware to be shipped so i can test.. will report back if i test before i hear a response….
So far, putting two different VM guests on the same vmnet interface, the two machines can talk… but that is only localhost (not going out the eth0 interface)..
Hope to hear a response, and look forward to a post when i finally do get my hardware in for testing..
Thanks!!
It won’t pass the vlan tagging. The packets are passed to the guest vm untagged.
