Hi , Just edit your /etc/sysconfig/network and add a line like this : VLAN=yes Then goto /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts . For example if you want to have an interface for VLAN5 on eth0 you have to make a file named : ifcfg-eth0.5 . Inside of this file should be as always in redhat like this : DEVICE=eth0.5 BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=192.168.25.9 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes Done . You can restart your machine and see that the sub interfaces comes up when the eth0 comes up ! --- Regards ================================================================= / Seyyed Hamid Reza / WINDOWS FOR NOW !! / / Hashemi Golpayegani / Linux for future , FreeBSD for ever / / Morva System Co. / ------------------------------------- / / Network Administrator/ hamid@xxxxxxxxx , ICQ# : 42209876 / ================================================================ ________________________________ From: vlan-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vlan-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Elias Arends Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 9:12 PM To: vlan@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [VLAN] Making vlan configuration permanent Hello list, I have a very simple question. I've created two vlan interfaces on my Red Hat Enterprise ES box and they are working just fine, but whever I restart, I lose the configs. How do I make them permanent? Thanks.
