Sub Interfaces or VLAN interfaces supported on VM-300 in AWS?

[pmchenry]

Hi,

We were wondering if sub-interfaces or VLAN interfaces are supported on the VM seriies in AWS. 

We would like to separate customer traffic using these VLANs/ sub-interfaces as we do in our own DC, but it doesn't seem possible in AWS on the VM-300 as there are no options when I highlight the individual interface.

If sub-interfaces and VLANs are not supported, are there any work-arounds?

Thank you, Pat

@pmchenry,

You are correct, this is a known limitation within AWS. The only interface type that you are allowed is layer3, and VLAN and subinterface isn't supported at all. There's really no way to workaround that issue that I'm aware of, at that point you would be having more of a design discussion about how the environment is being built out and isolated.

Hi @pmchenry 

Yes, @BPry  is correct we don't support sub-interfaces in Public Cloud for now. There is no workaround for this. 

As already mentioned you should plan your design and to avoid this.

On both of the configurations above I've set the IP settings to dhcp server with a static address and dhcp client. When in client mode it doesn't get an address and when in server mode nothing can reach it UPSers Login
