Vlan interfaces are provided by the 8021q driver for 802.1q encapsulated vlan's and begin with vlan (unless you rename them), they're also full devices in their own right. But this requires 802.1q capable switches and that you're actually getting traffic handed off with 802.1q encapsulation. Since it's working at all, this probably isn't the case. In any event, what you need to do depends on context. eth1, refers to the ip address on that device, or to all aliases on that device, depending on context. (In the interface context, it means all, in the address context it would mean the IP that is on eth1). In the case of defining an interface for which traffic will traverse, you can't identify an alias there, as it's not an interface. I think in most cases inside of shorewall you'll be referring to the interface, as it's asking about an interface, not an alias. Aliases aren't really devices in and of themselves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
