I've built a 2.4.18 Linux kernel with VLAN configured in and built the 1.6 release of vconfig. The system boots, vconfig is able to create VLAN interfaces. But I haven't been able to _use_ the interface. Based on http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7268, I've done this: ifconfig eth1 down ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 up vconfig add eth1 2 ifconfig eth1.2 11.2.0.1 broadcast 11.127.255.255 netmask 255.128.0.0 I have a switch that will add VLAN tags based on the ingress port and I've configured it to add ID 2 to incoming messages. I hooked my PC up to that port, another computer with Ethereal to another port, and my experimental system up to another. On the PC I do: ping 11.2.0.1 and I see tagged ARP packets in Ethereal. On the experimental system, the packets received by eth1 go up each time I ping: eth1 ... RX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 but the packets received by eth1.2 remain 0: eth1.2 ... RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 I guess I'm missing something. Any suggestions? TIA. Chris
