Your configuration on the Red Hat box looks correct. I was able to use make it work on a setup over here using your exact ifconfig / vconfig statements (on a slightly older FC box, 2.6.9-1.667smp.) I would suspect the switch setup. You set the adapters up for tagged packets on VLAN ID 2 and 3, so make sure at least one of the VLANs office1 or office2 correspond to VLAN ID 2 or 3. Also make sure the system you are checking connectivity from is connected to a port configured for the appropriate VLAN and the port is untagged (unless the system checking for connectivity is also using something like 8021q.o which would require it to be properly configured and connected to a properly configured tagged port.) You are not overlooking the obvious are you? I assume the VLAN module, 8021q, is loaded on the Linux box. -----Original Message----- From: vlan-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vlan-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nathan Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 3:15 PM To: vlan@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [VLAN] What am I missing? I've got a Redhat FC3 box running the 2.6.10-1.741 kernel w/ the stock e100 driver. I run the following on the box: ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up vconfig add eth0 2 vconfig add eth0 3 ifconfig eth0.2 10.2.3.122 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig eth0.3 10.2.5.122 netmask 255.255.255.0 then on the switch (extreme networks black diamond): config vlan office1 add port 3:35 tagged config vlan office2 add port 3:35 tagged When I try to ping either address niether work. Not sure what I'm missing here. _______________________________________________ Vlan mailing list Vlan@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.lanforge.com/mailman/listinfo/vlan
