Can you elaborate a bit about this: which difference do you see between creating a VLAN with ip link add name eth2.200 link eth2 type vlan id 200 And running your program (let's call your executable "vlan_nl") in this way: ./vlan_nl eth1.100 eth1 100 Regards, Rami Rosen http://ramirose.wix.com/ramirosen _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
