Possible Feature Uncovered: multi-MAC per eth interface

Needed feature:

  • put virtual eth interface on a physical interface. this virtual eth to have own MAC address.
  • put MAC address on a VLAN interface

Self-explanatory.

Questions?

create vlan
create bridge
set admin-mac on bridge
add vlan to bridge

I know. Its too much software processing. And it does not give us multiple MACs on the native VLAN which is what we want. Im hoping for optimised solution.

In Vyatta, “Pseudo‐Ethernet Interface” exactly what you need.
But, I’m not sure that it is not just a frontend for bridge interface.
