Hi,

I hope you can help.

I am trying to find out if the XS708E will support this:

XS708E port 1: 802.1q trunk from cisco switch
XS708E port 2: 802.1q trunk to linux server 1
XS708E port 3: 802.1q trunk to linux server 2

I can see it support 802.1q but I can't figure out if you can have multiple trunk ports, essentially I want to have the linux servers do the IP routing, for example:

Linux server 1
-vlan1 ip 10.1.1.1/24
-vlan3 ip 10.1.3.1/24
...

Linux server 2
vlan2 ip 10.1.2.1/24
vlan4 ip 10.1.4.1/24
...

So vlan1 traffic coming from the cisco switch will be essentially passed through the XS708E, still tagged as vlan1 and I set the vlan1 IP address on Linux server 1.

Oh I should mention that the linux servers will actually be running KVM virtualised vyos routers each one with the internal IP in the 10.1.x.x range and an external public IP.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers
Richard
