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,

VLANs? you want to do Dot1Q? and use multiple virtual interfaces (ie
eth0.2 eth0.3 etc)? If so look at vconfig. Then just assigned
different ip addresses (and network numbers) to each physical (or
virtual) nic.
Also you will need to enable IP forwarding as I believe it is off by
default, issue the command:
*echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
*
