Just use the vconfig tool to add VLAN interfaces on top of an
existing eth interface. Assign suitable IP addresses to the VLAN
interface you just added with vconfig and let routing do the rest.

If you really want to send tagged frames onto a VLAN (ie. VLAN
traffic in a VLAN, e.g. two layers of VLANs) you should be able to
use vconfig to add VLAN interfaces to the VLAN interfaces. But I
guess this wasn't what you were refering to?

Hope this helps.
