Hi Donald,
Do you also notice this problem?
We're facing an issue that we can use only 64 VLANs per VF.
We're using Intel's 82599EB chip with ixgbe and ixgbevf driver.
Is it subject to the specification restrictions only 64 VLAN can use per VF?
We'd like to use about 2000 VLAN per VF.
Does it come from hardware?

Madoka Komatsubara

I think you're running into the filter limit for VFs.

It's a hardware limit, you cannot increase it.

Thank you for your information.
Does it mean disabling filter is the only way to use over 64 VLANs and is it possible?

Madoka
You can have more than 64 VLANs, but not for a single VF.
