Emulab FAQ: Testbed Operations: How is vlan trunking supported on pc's?

If you want to set up trunks for him manually, make some empty VLANs with snmpit -m like so:

  wap snmpit -m andy1
  wap snmpit -m andy2
  wap snmpit -m andy3

Then, for every port he wants to run trunking on, do:

  wap snmpit -T pc1:0 andy1 andy2 andy3
  wap snmpit -T pc2:0 andy1 andy2 andy3

You will probably have to tell him the VLAN numbers that the snmpit -ms created, there's not really a way to virtualize VLAN numbers.

Also, before he swaps out, you'll need to run:

  wap snmpit -u pc1:0
  wap snmpit -u pc2:0

for every port to turn trunking back off.

So, clearly, it'd be simpler if he can use vlink support...
