      @ziarmal How many interfaces do you have available?
      Make it work over physical and then read about trunking and vlans

              @ziarmal Remove opt1 from vtnet0

              Each one of this on its own works?
              And it uses different cpe?
              400 connections? and then what?

              Post a diagram of what you are trying to do.
              Start with 2-3 connections.. No more
