Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I would like to find out what kind of experiences people have had implementing VLANs in FreeBSD. We're currently running some Red Hat Linux machines and have created VLANs on them but are considering moving this to FreeBSD. The Linux machines will sometimes completely stop responding, and I mean nothing, no video, no keyboard, no network, no response at all. These machines are all connected to various models of Cisco ethernet switches, all of which support 802.1q VLANs, but we use the machines for authenticating public users. We believe that FreeBSD would provide a more stable environment but have no experience using/creating/managing 802.1q VLANs on FreeBSD. Any information would be appreciated.
