Context - I am running FreeNAS 11 RC in a multiple NIC machine that has many VLANs
I find that when a VM is created, FreeNAS creates a default bridge0 and adds the VLAN of the host (say vlan10) and the new tap interface it creates for the VM to this bridge. All is fine, so long as I only want to use the default network (vlan10) for my VMs. However I want to run VMs that are attached to other VLANs (say VLAN11, VLAN12)
I am able to manually achieve this with ifconfig creating new bridges and removing and adding tap members according to my need. The question is is there any way to preserve and persist my changes to bridge0 , bridge1, and bridge2 so that it survives VM reboot as well as host reboot ?
This sort of thing should be a feature in FreeNAS, does anyone know if this has been requested already?
