Hi All,
In my network configuration, I want to let the tagged VLAN traffic go
through my bridge box with two NICs, now I need to choose a pair NIC to
handle tagged VLAN traffic.
So far I know Intel e100/e1000 card can handle VLAN tag traffic, Have
other brand/model Card support VLAN tag( or with patch) ? Any
experience?
I saw the following words from Ben's VLAN site:
I hear that the 2.2/2.4 kernel patches have worked with these (and
other, I'm sure) systems:
* Cisco: {Catalyst: 6509}, 3Com: {Corebuilder, Netbuilder II,
SuperStack II switch 630}, Alpine: {3804(SMMi,F32Ti)} Extreme Ntwks
{Summit 48, 48i, 5i} Foundry: {ServerIronXL, FastIron}
* Alteon ACENic Gigabit, 3Com 3c509, realtek RTL8029(AS), RTL8139,
DEC DC21140 (tulip), DFE-570TX quad-21143, Intel PRO/1000 with Intel's
driver
As my understanding, the above NICs can support VLAN tag, just same as
the e100/e1000 card, the above also need some patch for VLAN tag, e.g.
3Com 3c509, RTL8139 can support ? also need a patch? In Ben's VLAN
page, I only found patches for some cards, others card need not a patch for
VLAN tag? I have some confused on it.
Any comments, experience?
Thanks!
Kingz
