[uml-user] Use of switch daemon

[Maren P. <ch...@gm...>]

Hello!

I just completed getting a few UML guests online.  I want to separate
two guests by a switch (ideally) without giving the UML host any
network connections to those machines.

My setup:

UML host (Ubuntu 6.10)
UML guest #A (DSL) - will be a router
UML guest #B (DSL) - will be another router
UML guest #C (DSL) - will be a switch

I would like A to be able to reach B through C.

Presently, my UML host (Ubuntu 6.10) has multiple "tap" interfaces
with a corresponding "eth" interface on the UML guest.  My intent is
to be able to still have console access (or some alternative access to
the routers) and have no extra network adapaters appear to the UML
guests so that a "redistribute connected" under quagga or zebra
routing software will not provide a "way out" for packets in my
network.

Does this make sense?

Also, do you know of any way to perform VLAN functionality on the UML switch?

Thank you,
