Yes. If you're running linux, you can create them manually: vconfig set_name_type DEV_PLUS_VID vconfig add eth0 10 ifconfig eth0.10 up ifconfig eth0.10 address 10.10.0.1 255.255.255.0 ...better yet, most Linux distributions have vlan-aware init scripts e.g. on Fedora/Redhat: echo "VLAN=yes" >>/etc/sysconfig/network cat >>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.10 <<EOF DEVICE=eth0.10 IPADDR=10.10.0.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 EOF # Don't forget you need to enable IP forwarding e.g. sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 # ...or maybe edit /etc/sysctl.conf I suggest you look at the docs for the networking setup on your OS. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
