Does the Hyper-V 2012 Virtual Switch support forwarding VLAN-tagged packets to a guest OS with the VLAN tags intact? In other words, can I have a single virtual NIC handle multiple VLANs by doing the VLAN filtering inside the guest OS?
I would like to run a guest OS that sits on multiple VLANs, and while I could create and delete virtual NICs which are assigned to a single VLAN, it would be much more flexible in my environment to have Hyper-V simply forward frames with the VLAN (802.1q) tags intact so that the guest OS can see the tags and deal with them appropriately. (looking at running a virtual router that sits across multiple VLANs).
I can't see any obvious way to do this. I thought that leaving the VLAN tag for the guest off would cause packets to be forwarded unfiltered, but that appears to not be the case. Does anyone know how to enable forwarding tagged frames through a virtual switch/NIC to a guest OS?
Thanks!
