How to configure linux box as vlan based switch

["Manoj Kumar" <manojkumarshetty@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everyone,

Wish you all a very happy new year.

I'am trying to test a VLAN based network. Hence, i wanted to know if it possible to configure a Linux Machine with multiple NIC card (i.e., ports) to be configured to behave as a switch. If it possible then how to do the same any know resource where i coudl get some material on the same. 

Secondly, if it possible to configure it as a switch then is it possible to configure as VLAN based switch. And also know resources for the same.

Thank you,
regards,
manoj
