I was asked this question today, and searching the mailing lists doesn't bring up anything current. Has any additional work been done on if_vlan? From the cvs headers in if_vlan.c is appears there has, so would FreeBSD work in this situation? A number of interface man pages (ti(4), sk(4)) mention vlan(4) which doesn't exist on any of our stable or current machines. Also I found vlan.h in the compile directory (NVLAN = 0 by default), but didn't find anything obvious in LINT for adding a vlan interface. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks Chad. QUESTION: Chad, I'm looking for vlan trunking support in FreeBSD. There are currently two protocols used for vlan trunking: ISL (cisco) and 802.1q (open standard). Either would work fine for me. I want to have one 100BaseTX ethernet port that trunks multiple vlans from a Cisco switch to a FreeBSD DHCP server. The FreeBSD server would have one subinterfaces or aliases per vlan assigned to the trunk. The configuration would look like the following: Cat ----- 100baseTX,FD ---------- FreeBSD Server Switch Vlans 1,3,7 -- ========================================================================= Clinton Work work@scripty.com Calgary, Alberta To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
