VLAN interfaces are always "children" of another (often physical or bridge) interface. E.g. eth0.4 is a VLAN interface for VLAN 4 on eth0. Packets coming in on eth0.4 is VLAN 4 traffic coming in on eth0, but with the tag stripped. Packets going out on eth0.4 will be tagged with VLAN 4 and then sent out on eth0. //Peter
