 +=== Tagging for VM's  ===
 +
 +Note: example ip link is non-permanent... see your distro for appropriate place to configure your host nic for a vlan.
 +
 +You can use a single cable as a "trunk". This essentially turns your wired link into a managed switch as you will tag VLAN per vm upstream on the wired link.
 +
 +This can be used for clients... with openwrt on a "real router" running several vlans over a single LAN port. Or you could use this method for an OpenWrtVM... tag several of it's interfaces outside of the guest software... "mimicking" a managed switch.
 +
 +
 +This example shows clientVM's to an upstream OpenWrt router.

 +ip link add link $NIC name $NIC.50 type vlan id 50
 +ip link set dev $NIC.50 up

 +######################################################### Step2
 +In VirtualBox change bridge for a VM to interface NIC.50

 +######################################################### Step3 In Openwrt
 +#-Go to switch... add vlan 50 tagged on same port as pc/server + cpu1
 +#-Go to interfaces... add interface... NAME + INTERFACE:ethNcpu.50 + IP:192.168.50.1 etc. etc.
