[Lxc-users] Regarding connecting containers to vlan

I know this answer isn't about VLAN specifically but it might interest
you.  I'd stumbled upon it a few weeks ago and the title was
*"Connecting containers on several hosts with Open vSwitch"*

There was also a newer post regarding Open vSwitch and LXC:

Subject: Re: [Lxc-users] Regarding connecting containers to vlan
Hey,

I am trying to pass multiple vlans on to a single interface.
My switch is already configured as a trunk and therefore is passing
multiple vlans.

* Do I need to set a bridge ip or can I just add to bridge_ports the
physical interfaces
* My container is set to use the lxc.network.link as the bridge. Do I also
need to mention the vlan ?
