On drivers that support VLAN tagging, you can generally just plumb up (using ifconfig) the desired tag. The hack (and it *is* a hack) is to multiply the VLAN id number by 1000 and add it to the instance number. For instance, if you want VLAN tag 3 on ce1, you'd plumb "ce3001". > For some reason I was thinking that if I had an ethernet interfacecabled > to a switch that was sending packets for 3 different vlans down the wire > to my interface (say bge0) that I'd have to create a bge0:X for each > VLAN, and configure each to use the correct tag, and have an IP > appropriate for that VLAN. > > What if I have 2(or more) interfaces that both recieve the same 3 VLANs > on 2(or more) cables from the same switch?

Aggregate the interfaces first, and then configure VLANs above. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
