      moving to a new network and i am trying to get ideas/find the best solution around this.

      the new network will be HP and will be using distributed trunking, which i have been told does not support multicast routing. Therefore I will not be able to multicast across vlans. It would seem I need a nic for each vlan on my FOG Box is this possible?

      or is it possible to have the Nic Vlan tagged so all vlans point to the fog box?

            [quote=“kirksec, post: 2039, member: 289”]this is possible i can assure you, it just needs to be setup i have my fog server sitting on our “server vlan” and my user’s is on staff and student vlans, i have no issues imaging them…[/quote]

            yes currently I have the same setup as you on a Cisco network, but I was asking if it is possible to get FOG working a new HP Network that would be using DTP (Distributed Trunking Protocol). I have been told by HP that when using DTP it does not allow Multicast routing which therefore means i cannot route my multicast session across vlans but unicasts will work fine.

            I was wondering if it was possible/and if FOG would work if I had 802.1q vlan tagging on the Ubuntu Server and have Multiple VLAN membership on one Ethernet port similar to this:

                [quote=“jdd49, post: 2021, member: 623”]Fog cannot function like this as is but anything is possible. Here are a few suggestions:
                1.) 4 different fog machines each one on a different vlan. Machines are cheap almost anything laying around would work fine. I do 1000’s of machines with 1 basic desktop with only a pentium D.
                2.) 1 Really good server with 3 other virtual fog boxes
                3.) If it is only multicasting that can not cross the vlans. Then as you said put 4 nics in and before you start a multicast just switch the multicast interface to your other card. You could even add an extra box when starting a multicast that asks what interface you want to send out on.[/quote]

                thanks for the response, I shall have a rethink of the best way to approach this

                    is there not a way to make certains vlans accessible to each other ?
                    i know i am working in an enviroment with more than 3 vlans and there is certain vlans that can see each other and certain ones cannot, so i know its possible so just get the Network guy to open the vlans to see each other
