I have created a single shared ethernet adapter on my VIO server. I have several client partitions that need to talk to the outside world on different VLAN's. I have read that for each VLAN that the client partitions talk to through the SEA I would need another virtual ethernet adapter under the SEA, however it looks to me like setting the IEE 802.1Q adapter options with multiple Virtual LAN ID's on one virtual adapter under the SEA would achieve the same thing (up to the adapter limit of 20 anyway).

Is my thinking correct or am I talking out of somewhere I shouldn't? Are there any pros or cons to either approach?

Thanks,

Sam
