Run vconfig without parameters and check the set_name_type command, but the naming scheme is only important if you have multiple VLANs with the same id connected to different NICs in the Linux system, if you only have one "set" of VLAN ids, any naming scheme will work. You have the DEV_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD scheme active, which makes ethx.vid style interfaces. Run vconfig add eth0 20 vconfig add eth0 2258 and the VLANs 20 and 2258 will be reachable on the respective interfaces created. //Peter
