I have recently setup a machine to forward packets from our "main" network
to the seperate (vlan) that has the admin interfaces of the switches on.
Oviously I have put some firewalling in place, however I am getting
warning messages about the interface name eth0.1 (that is the 802.1q
naming for eth0 on vlan 1) along the lines of:
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state new -i eth0.1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
Warning: wierd character in interface `eth0.1' (No aliases, :, ! or *).
The firewalling etc works but gives a false warning, which might be worth
elimanting, as .x is now valid is some cases.
If their is anything else people would like to experiment with on vlans
and firewalling the machine is only my desktop so can be played with :)
