Hi,
I have been struggling with this issue for a while. I am using vm-bhyve.
I have a few Windows VMs that are bridged and communicate with the exterior world on a VLAN through a trunk port. The only way I have been able to do this is by doing network address translation which kills performance.
Normally, IPerf gives me about 3Gbps (if I perform the test using the bridged interface) but with the NAT, it drops down to 100Mbps.
Has anyone been able to bridge Windows VMs with a VLAN?
I am I did try to put the VLAN on the switch (using
I can't simply bridge the physical vlanned network interface because the bridge will not use the VLAN at all. This causes weird issues like ARP messages being sent fine but received not on the VLAN (seen in my post back in 2017 (bhyve and VLANs).
I wish to get more performance on the interfaces because I really need the bandwidth now...... If I could put the Windows VMs on the VLAN directly without NAT, I think performance would be much better.....

. This adds VLANs to the TAP interfaces. The Windows machine will grab the interface but the interface never comes up (no carrier).I can't simply bridge the physical vlanned network interface because the bridge will not use the VLAN at all.
