Hi, I'm using Vlans in my network as a way of preventing pier to pier communication - I only want nodes in the network to talk to the gateway (a linux box). I have successfully set up lots of sub interfaces using the vconfig too, one for each vlan. What I would like to be able to do is remove the ip address from each of these subinterfaces eth0.x and bridge them to eth0. I have successfully worked through the HOWTO, but cannot see how to adapt this to my situation. I want the network to appear to eth0 as if all the nodes are on the same network - like if I didn't use any Vlans at all. Many thanks in aniticipation !
