In our case, I created a VIF of two physical interfaces, then assigned 4 different vlans to that VIF. Then, the vfiler's IP addresses were aliased to whichever vlan they needed. Using default IP space.

Hello,
I'm trying to deploy multiple vFilers on a single filer. The vFilers need to be on different vlans. I want to use the same VIF (made up of 2 interfaces) for this. Am I wrong in my thinking that I can use vlan tagging with these multiple vfilers while using the same vif?
I think I should be able to use the default IPspace on the vif.
I've had our network people trunk 2 vlans to the ports that make up the VIF. I then create 2 vFilers, each specifying its own IP address/subnet mask. (The IPs and masks are different for each vfiler).
But what I'm missing is the connection between vfiler and vlan.
With ESX, we trunk dozens of vlans to the nics that the esx server is using for the vswitch. We then configure the vm's to be on which ever vlan we need it to be. Of course that's ESX's virtual switch doing the work for me.
How does this picture map into vfiler / physical filer space?
Thanks, Paul
