KVM home lab setup and configuration
Hey guys, Has anyone used KVM as means of creating a virtual home lab with separate vlans. I have tried time and time again to get separate vlans created using virtualbox and have followed the documentation found on dev central but its seems out dated as I could not create separate vlans using bridging. The following is my current lab setup and configuration possibilities I am seeking advice on. Host: Laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 (using 15.10 but will upgrading soon to the new LTS) Guests: Some distro running lamp, debain or centos Network: I was able to configure the management interface just fine 192.168.1.254 VLANS: I am not too experienced with kvm so I am not sure the best way to configure seperate vlans. But I have attempted this but again I could not created the vlans for so that my Guests could send traffic on. Ideas that I have been tossing around: -use cumlus vm switch to emulate a switch and assign vlan ids and vlans on it -using avaya os to emulate switching and routing... not sure if avaya can also do L3 switching or not? Any suggestions and or experiences will be helpful Thanks
BIG-IP in VirtualBox
Hey I wondering have any of you guys and girls tried converting the ova. file to the .ovf using the ovf tool from VMware then running the ovf through virtualbox? I have not tried to see if this works because I dont want to screw my license up if I cant get it to run. Decided to come here first.
