Johan, Thanks for your reply. just one quick question to the point you made. Are you actually saying if eth3.2 is sending out a packet(say to eth4.2) the packet would first reach eth3 as normal UnTagged packet but then eth3 will add a Tag(802.1q) before that packet goes out to the destination(eth4.2) ?. Then at the destination eth4 will be the first to receive the 802.1q packet and then stripp off the 802.1q before forwarding the packet to eth4.2. As a result eth4.2 will receive it as a normal UnTagged packet ?. Sorry if I misinterpreted your point. Regards, Cyprian. ------------- Johan Henes <johan@xxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi Cyprian ! On the physical interface (eth3) ALL packets on the trunk arrives (logically enough). Here they are tagged with 802.1q info... Then the packets are "placed" in the correct VIRTUAL interface with the 802.1q info stripped away.... This is why You expeirience what You do...

However, when I monitor eth3.2 I see an UnTagged(no VLAN) Packet sent from it and it also shows the same source IP of 51.1.2.2. Should this not be the other way arround. I would expect the monitoring of eth3.2 to show VLAN and eth3 to UnTagged(no VLAN) packet. Does the internal Linux handling of the VLAN justify what I am seeing? Thanks, Cyprian. ------------- Cyprian Clement <cyprian_clement@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi Ben, To answer your question, all I observe on the ethereal is as follows: Source Destination 51.1.2.2 51.1.20.2 51.1.2.2 51.1.20.2 Now when I click on one of them I see a packet with VLAN Tag but when I click on the second one I see exactly the same packet(same seq number, SSRC, and Timestamp) but without a Tag(i.e. without .1q). From this I deduce it's the same packet but sent differently. Not sure whether it's actually sent twice or once simply once but one of them is stripped off .1q Any Comments?

Are you sure it's being sent twice, or are you watching the same packet traverse the .1q interface and then the physical interface on the way to the wire?
