Before going too far with this just want to verify if this is possible in FreeBSD:
- Single ethernet port connected to a trunk port on a managed switch
- 3 VLANs tagged, plus the untagged traffic, so 1 physical interface, 3 vlan (sub)interfaces, 4 bridges
- Bridges to be later shared with bhyve vtnet interfaces so that VMs can, if configured in all VLANs, communicate with all 3 VLANs and the untagged/native VLAN
This is on 15.1 and using what I guess is now the "old" (ie: kind of documented) syntax.
What I'm basically seeing is that if I can bring any ONE VLAN up (or the native/untagged VLAN), things work fine. If I bring additional VLANs up by adding them to their respective bridges, the first bridge stops passing traffic. Observed on a remote host that also sees all 4 VLANs that when things stop working, the remote host still sees traffic FROM the problematic host, with the proper VLAN tag, and it replies back on the right VLAN, but that simply vanishes in the bridge.
I'm thinking that while this feels like a very standard config, perhaps there's some limitation here that I'm not aware of (like the number of bridges and VLANs that can be configured off of one PHYSICAL interface).
Ideas?
