Hi, I am posting my question again in this forum. I sincerely appreciate if you could help on this regard. Currently I am stuck here.. My Requirement : 1. On a single Linux RedHat machine with a single interface card, spoof the multiple MAC addresses. 2. This card will be connected to (2950 cisco ) L2 switch. 3. On the switch tag the frames based on the Vlan tag id (802.1Q). Understanding : 1. MAC spoofing on Linux can be done using vconfig. 2. We do not have to confiugre linux for anything else. 3. Configure the port on the switch in the trunk mode. --- This should work. What I have Done : 1. On Linux host created multiple logical interfaces using vconfig and assigned different MAC and IP address on the same subnet as the primary interface was. vconfig add eth0 100 ifconfig eth0.100 inet 192.2.84.210 hw ether 00:11:11:29:78:11 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig eth0.100 down ifconfig eth0.100 up P.S. => The new ip address for eth0.100 is on the same subnet as primary eth0 interface's subnet. 2. On the Cisco L2 Catalyst (9250 series) switch : conf t interface Fa0/32 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan add 100 What is not happening : 1. The spoofed MAC addresses are not visible outside. Observation : 1. The arp reply from this machine this new "192.2.84.210" IP address contains the promary interface's MAC address. (I tried to ping this new IP address from other host) 2. Routing table on linux host is : Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.2.84.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.2.84.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0.100 What should I do : 1. Do I need to configure the Linux to send Vlan tags in the ethernet frames (in 802.1Q format)? 2. Do I need to change the subnets at linux for the spoofed MAC addresses ? 3. Anything else ?????? Thank you so much for the help.

I would be happy for some enlightenment there. Overview of what I am trying to do: - I am setting up 3 vlans on an 802.1q trunk from a switch into a router that runs CentOS 4.3. - I am a little confused as to how and if 802.1p priority is set from the Linux side. - I would like to set one of the vlans on the router to have priority above the others. It is a voice vlan. I can do this for outbound traffic from the switch but for outbound from the router I'm not sure. - I am wondering if I have to do anything to add 802.1p bits to a given vlan or is there a certain amount of priority queuing/mapping that takes place out of the box with the presence of IP ToS bits?
