For our testing, we need to connect one or more native interface on each vRouters to a different tagged sub-interfaces of a physical port on the host. I can't see any easy way of doing this. I realise that I could hack the /etc/network/interfaces to statically bridge ethX.Y sub-interfaces to different pnet images but I'm hoping that there is a better way.
Also - is there a limit on the number of pnetX interfaces that can be used? In some labs we need more than the default 10 pnet interfaces if each one is mapped to a physical sub-interface.

Isn't better to use classic trunk port connected to virtual router and your tagged dot1q interfaces reach whatever you need over it.
EVE pnet bridged with server nic---trunk to---real sw
Rest simple VLANs SVI will do the job

Re: Mapping physical subinterfaces to vRouter native interfaces
That might work for my current technology demonstration but if, as I hope, budget is approved for upgrading to the Corporate solution (with ~4-10 users), the different labs from different users would really need to share the same physical interfaces using different VLANs.
This wouldn't seem easy to achieve with a vRouter acting effectively as a switch breaking out a single physical trunk to lots of access interfaces or have I overlooked something about how different labs run by different users could communicate with this proposed "shared virtual switch" in the Corporate version?
