[one-users] 802.1q tagging

[Gnep Zhao]

Hi,

I don't really understant：

1) create VLAN on the host --- I suppose the vlan is configured on the
switch. Do you mean the host-wide vlan?
2) link VLAN to an interface on the host

And  what's the difference between your solution (802.1q)  and
openvswitch's?
