Networking between guests on different host machines - VxLAN?

Post by raj_list »

Hello all,

Docs give two options for connecting VMs across different hosts

1. UDP Tunnel Networking
2. VDE Networking

Apart from these two, is it possible to use some thing like VxLAN which can better inter-operate with other existing infra? I understand it is not supported out of the box, but are there any work around? For example: Bridging between Vrtualbox and Linux VxLAN interface.

Any examples or success stories would be most welcome.

That should be treated as if you had 4 different computers; 2 hosts and 2 guests, with the guests using Bridged mode and being equal among equals in the network.
