Sharing same VLAN between vCMP guest

Hello,

 

This question is regarding to sharing same VLAN between vCMP guest for F5 viprion platform.

 

lets say, I have a VLAN 10 which is tagged to interface 1.1 at vCMP host level and propagated to Guest A in common partition.

 

-For the guest B can I use same VLAN?

 

-What would be the recommend way to share VLANs between guests?

 

-Can we tag VLAN 10 to 1.2 interface at vCMP host level and share it with Guest B?

 

application delivery
BIG-IP
deployment
vcmp guest
vcmp host

    Yes, the VLAN can be shared between several guests. Be careful though not to use the same MAC (masquerading) or IP (including SNAT IPs) on your guests unless they form a device-group with floating IPs.

      Sorry to add this to an old thread, if using a vLAN between two guests does the traffic remain on the chassis or does it need an external switch/bridge to connect the guests?
