On a completely unrelated note, there are known problems trying to tag and utilize vlan1 (and present it to a BSD system). Google "seklecki openbsd vlan".
It has to do with vlan 1 being the base vlan on trunk lines. It sucks big time -- especially since Dell managed switched dont let you change the default administrative VLAN. But after many moons, I was able migrate my administrative VLANs & subnet to a VLAN other than 1 ~BAS On Wed, 2007-10-17 at 16:59 +0200, Frans Haarman wrote: > Hello, > > Several times I have noticed my vlan not getting an IP when I use > vlan 1 vlandev bge0 10.3.3.1 255.255.255.252 10.3.3.3 > > It works everytime when I use: > vlan 1 vlandev bge0 > 10.3.3.1 255.255.255.252 10.3.3.3 > > It seems the interface must be created first before the assining IP can be > done ? > This makes sense to me!
