Hi list,

I have a scenario that leaves me sitting here, scratching my head
wondering whether I need to do some brigding or not:

There's my HN having two NICs, on both of them several VLANs are tagged.
VLAN123, for example, exists on both interfaces (eth0 and eth1,
respectively). This way I successfully created a VE that holds two veth
devices (eth0.123 and eth1.123).

Now, the constellation changed and I have the problem that I may have to
assign a VLAN/veth interface to *multiple* VEs, e.g.

VLAN123 (eth0.123)
VLAN124 (eth0.124)
VLAN125 (eth0.125)

should be accessable from VE 101, 102, and 103.

AFAICS I can only 'transfer' a single VLAN to a veth, so I could assign
eth0.123 to veth101.0. Could I still assign eth.123 to veth102.0 of VE
102, or do I have to do bridging then?

Thanks in advance,

Timo
