Thanks for the notes
Addressing your points:
- vnet_default_interface – yes you are correct – you can set it as the VLAN number or leave it at auto. I didn’t find it made much difference in either case.
- I’ve read its recommended not to mix tagged and untagged traffic – I’m not certain if this is a hard and fast rule or just a recommendation. Certainly the setup would be simplified if VLAN1 traffic did not need to be tagged. I was hoping others would either help me confirm or deny this “recommendation”
- Changing of the MTU is not needed. I’m not sure if this needed to be done in the past, however as of 2019/2020 the MTU does not need to be adjusted
I upgraded over the weeked from 11.2U7 to 11.3RC2. Unfortunately/fortunately??? they changed the Network and VLAN interfaces and the instructions I wrote above are not entirely applicable to the new release. If you want I can add instructions for the 11.3 release – and probably just best to put these instructions within a new thread as I can see the instructions are likely to get buried in this thread.
