Re: How to configure vlans with vmm

OK, so if I understand correctly, vlans are used then if you have a
default gateway that is not on the host itself, and the virtual machines
have their packets tagged by the host and then relayed to the router,
which removes the vlan tags.

Right now, I am having the host itself create a vport which acts as
default gateway, so I suppose there is no benefit for me in using vlan
tagging.

I did manage to figure out how to add vlan tags at the host and remove vlan tags inside the virtual machine, but this is probably not the right setup:

I'll keep researching, thanks again for your help.
