If by that you mean 802.1q trunking, then yes.

ls it reliable?
Seems to be in my experience, but that's only limited so far.

how can I do it?
Create multiple ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, e.g. for
multiple VLANs on eth0:
ifcfg-eth0
ifcfg-eth0.2
ifcfg-eth0.100

The number after the decimal is the VLAN id (default (1), 2 and 100
respectively above).  In each file, add VLAN=yes.   And don't forget to
turn on trunking on the switch to which you're attached.  The network
startup scripts will then do the right thing.

Are the details documented somewhere? Is vlan 1 always native (untagged) or can you specify that? I remember having some problem with Intel NICs on windows not liking native packets at all if any were tagged but I don't know if that was a hardware or software issue.
