We look forward to migrate BIG-IP VE from VMware to OpenShift Virtualization, but we have 40 VLANs on the current BIG-IP VE. As it's stated max. 28 NICs are supported in BIG-IP VE, what other options do we have?

Currently we are using VLAN trunking/tagging in VMware.

    Hi Kay

    Please check the followup/more comprehensive PDF attached in VMware to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Migration | DevCentral

     

    Trunking could be your option in OpenShift Virtualization as well:

    "If VLAN trunking is required towards the VMs, a L2 configuration consisting of a NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy linux-bridge and a NetworkAttachmentDefinition with cnv-bridge can be used."

    Regards
