Hello,

I'm having some trouble getting VLAN bridging to work on my Xen
installation.  Here's what I've done:

On Dom0, I set up a new bridge and add eth1 to it.  I suppose I'll
eventually use /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge to do this for me, but
I see no reason why this shouldn't work.

dom0# brctl addbr vlans
dom0# brctl stp vlans off
dom0# brctl setfd vlans 0
dom0# brctl addif vlans eth1
dom0# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
vlans           8000.00a0d1e10f67       no              eth1
xenbr0          8000.feffffffffff       no              peth0
                                                       vif0.0

eth1 is connected to a switch running 802.1q.  I know my VLANs work
normally in Dom0 based on the following output where I configure a new
VLAN on eth1, add an IP and ping something on the VLAN.

dom0# ifconfig eth1.48
eth1.48: error fetching interface information: Device not found
dom0# vconfig add eth1 48
Added VLAN with VID == 48 to IF -:eth1:-
dom0# ifconfig eth1.48 up 198.18.0.53/24
dom0# ping 198.18.0.2
PING 198.18.0.2 (198.18.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 198.18.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=10.3 ms

--- 198.18.0.2 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 10.332/10.332/10.332/0.000 ms, pipe 2


Now I want to have a similar config on my DomU's, so I start one up
with the following vif configuration:

vif = [ 'bridge=vlans' ]

After it boots, I insert the 8021q module and create a VLAN interface.

domU# insmod 8021q.ko
8021q: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
domU# vconfig add eth0 48
Added VLAN with VID == 48 to IF -:eth0:-
domU# ifconfig eth0.48 up 198.18.0.53/24
domU# ping 198.18.0.2
PING 198.18.0.2 (198.18.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 198.18.0.2 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 999ms

As you can see, it didn't work.  Back on Dom0, I see the vif for my
DomU has been added to my bridge as I would expect.  What am I
missing?  Why aren't tagged frames from my DomU being bridged to eth1
on Dom0?

dom0# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
vlans           8000.00a0d1e10f67       no              eth1
                                                       vif7.0
xenbr0          8000.feffffffffff       no              peth0
                                                       vif0.0


Help appreciated.
