1. Proposed title of this feature request

[RFE] Full Support for PXE and PXEless provisioning over VLAN tagged interfaces via Red Hat Satellite 6

2. What is the nature and description of the request?

Ensure that Satellite is capable of performing system deployments with VLAN configurations for any PXE or PXEless deployment methods.

3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

Using VLAN tagging ( whether on a single interface or a bond ) is a pretty common use case in the Networking\RHEL world and our end users would like to see satellite doing a complete deployment of a system with proper VLAN tagging configured as expected.

In https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2674001#fnref:12 we mention that it's "known to work" but we don't know what means by "known to work" or how far it should work and for which deployment options.

4. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

Via provisioning feature of the satellite.

5. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.

Well, Even before an user can test anything, RedHat needs to confirm the scope of support

The VLAN tagging needs to be tested for

• Static as well as DHCP based IP addressing
• Any PXE and PXEless metohds we have
• Single interface as well as for Bonded Interfaces

And it is expected to work not only during kickstart stage but also during the PXE stage.

6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?

No i believe but similar RFE is present for Bond based deployments -> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1935088

Two related BZs present as well pointing to two specific bugs i.e.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2075717
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2075358

7. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?

As soon as possible ( or in the next major release of the product )

8. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?

No

9. List any affected packages or components.

Foreman

10. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?

Perhaps. RH support will definitely be able to help.
