6.5.4 Using VLAN Interfaces
Sometimes, it is necessary to create a private connection either between two Xen hosts
or between a number of VM Guest systems. For example, if you want to migrate VM
Guest to hosts in a different network segment, or if you want to create a private bridge
that only VM Guest systems may connect to, even when running on different VM Host
Server systems. An easy way to build such connections is to set up VLAN networks.
VLAN interfaces are commonly set up on the VM Host Server and either just intercon-
nect the different VM Host Server systems, or they may be set up as physical interface
to an otherwise virtual only bridge. It is even possible to create a bridge with a VLAN
as physical interface that has no IP address in the VM Host Server. That way, the guest
systems have no possibility to access Domain0 over this network.
Run the YaST module Network Devices > Network Settings. Follow this procedure to
actually set up the VLAN device:
