Description

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/3489

This patch set is available via the 'feat_vlan_tagging' branch in openvpn-testing.git for review. It is not merged into allmerged at the moment. It needs an ACK to take that step. The branch will be rebuilt based on a better branch from Fabian Knittel in the near future - and before a merge into allmerged.

Unfortunately, the patch has gathered some cobwebs. I'm still very interested in getting the VLAN support into a form that is acceptable for official inclusion, but I've seriously lacked the time to work on this. Hopefully after my next exam things will be different ...

The current state is available from our unofficial branch. It has been in nearly-production use in two locations for several months now, so at least our specific use-cases appear to work nicely.

Things that need to be done:

  • Rebase the branch on top of the current master (and check whether that's what the OpenVPN devs want).
  • Throw out anything that we're not currently using (i.e. stream-line the configuration options).
  • Create and document a simple test setup (and check whether the OpenVPN devs have any existing setups that could be adapted).
  • Convince others to perform the tests so that the patches can be acked.

This can certainly be considered in v2.4 ... so if still interesting, catching up on the current 'master' branch is certainly a good idea.

This has been lying around for quite a bit - it was "bubbled up" by a user who wants to have it, mentioning it in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/10885 (just for reference).

This is still interesting, to me at least, but priorization needs to be done and there are bits we consider important to a larger number of users that should go in first - but as it's here in trac, it won't be totally forgotten.

Hi guys,

I would like to finally present you the renovated VLAN code!
It is available for testing in my GitLab? repository (sorry - but I migrated away from GitHub? some time ago, after the M$ thing).

The URL is: https://gitlab.com/ordex986/openvpn
Git: https://gitlab.com/ordex986/openvpn.git
Branch: vlan

The code is based on the very latest master.
It has been restructured a bit, restyled a bit and the patches have been re-arranged big time to be easier to review, test and merge.

At this point, any test would be VERY welcome, so that we can confirm that the code is still working as expected.

The VLAN code is compiled in by default but can be taken out with the --disable-vlan-tagging config parameter.

Happy testing!

And, lo and behold, it has been reviewed, tested, AND MERGED.

hooray :-)

It will materialize in 2.5, to be released "first half of 2020". No promises.
