[virt-tools-list] Connect VLAN Interface to Virtual Network

[Justin Brown]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new bridge network in virt-manager, but I'm
having some difficultly. The basic problem is that I'm working on a
tagged VLAN network, so I want to connect the bridge to one of the
VLAN network interfaces, not a physical device.

I have a single physical device, p118p1, and three VLAN interfaces,
vlan2, vlan3, and vlan4. I want to create a network called vmbr0, and
connect vlan4 to it.

I go through the "create a new virtual network" setup, and I encounter
a problem on step 4 when I try to connect it to an external network. I
want to choose "forwarding to physical network." Unfortuantely, the
only entries for "destination" are "any physical device," "physical
device lo," and "physical device p118p1." vlan4 doesn't show up in
this list.

How can I connect a virt-manager virtual network to a vlan destination
interface?

Thanks,
Justin
