        @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

                        @ziarmal Yes, but how is the physical connection?
                        How do you reach all those cpe?
