It sounds like you want it the other way around. The trunk should be the lowest component in any setup so you should vlan the trunk interface rather than trunk a vlan. ifconfig trunk0 create ... ifconfig vlan0 vlan 10 vlandev trunk0 (or use ifconfig trunk0.10 create which is a better syntax) regards, Andrew
