Can one host/node be part of multiple VLANs?
This is not really an F5-specific question, but will help me clarify few VLAN/trunking concepts.
Q: Can one host/node be part of multiple VLANs? For example, on my Linux host if I exec the following commands, will it receive packets for VLAN 1234 and VLAN 4567 both? (provided all other network configurations have been done and are working).
vconfig add eth0 1234 vconfig add eth0 4567
Thanks, JVV
Mulitple nics will put the host on multiple network segments which would each carry their respective vlan traffic. If the node is a VM host then a 802.1q trunk can carry multiple vlans to that host to be configured for different VM guest machines that require separate connectivity. The vlan tag you see at the interface level would be dependent on how the local switch (virtual or network) is delivering that connectivity to the host.
