Hi, I'm having trouble getting the kernel to pick up packets for a DHCP server (for example) on the vlan interface I set up. One twist, I've configured the VLAN to use a different MAC address from the primary real interface and it uses DHCP too. Here are the steps I followed: 1) vconfig set_name_type VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD 2) vconfig add eth1 195 3) vconfig set_flag vlan195 1 1 5) ifconfig vlan195 down 6) ifconfig vlan195 hw ether 10:10:10:10:10:10 7) ifconfig vlan195 up 8) iptables -A OUTPUT -o vlan195 -m udp -p udp --sport 67:68 -j ACCEPT 9) iptables -A INPUT -i vlan195 -m udp -p udp --dport 67:68 -j ACCEPT Note: For some reason, the DHCP offer is not picked up by the vlan interface...However, ethereal shows the DHCPoffers.... Any help debugging would really be appreciated! DHCPclient output: [root@qa vlan]# dhclient vlan195 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.1 Copyright 2004 Internet Systems Consortium.
