I can find plenty of examples on the net when it comes to the "traditional" one-bridge-per-vlan setup but none that explain similar setups for the vlan aware bridge. In fact there seem to be few people out there who even know about this probably because this seems to be a bit of a secret right now because of a lack of documentation. Regards, Dennis
