      Re: Change management network interface?

      So I'm referencing the thread above.

      I'm playing around with a new xcp-ng installation -- been awhile since I've done this -- amazing how much I forget after you get a system up and running.

      Anyway I'm trying to set the management interface up using VLAN 40. I have no idea how to do this as it defaults to VLAN1. It's frankly very very awkward as it's not possible to specify a VLAN within the xcp-ng configuration screen.

      I believe I was able to change the vlan management by connecting the new instance to my currently running XO server -- add a new tagged network associating it with the current XO host, and then the option suddenly appeared within the drop down list within the managment console terminal. (Hopefully that makes sense).

      There is probably a way to do this via the command line, however the referenced command: xe host-management-reconfigure pif-uuid=<PIF_UUID> doesn't exactly have anything to do with VLANs that I can find. In fact the Citrix Documentation isn't very elusive about this either. I guess I'm looking to do this all at the command line, XO, or at the management console without having to jump back and forth between methods which makes the process clumsy.

        Not really sure what your goal is, but for simplicity I recommend keeping the main interface on the native VLAN. If you are doing this for security, then you should use separate physical interfaces to keep the network segmented.

          Possibly I'm thinking about this all wrong, but I usually keep all my management interfaces on a different VLAN other than native. Perhaps the wrong approach.

            @lawrencesystems still doesn't answer the question as to HOW to change the VLAN.
