Ben, I get the below warning when I try to configure vconfig for the first time. [root@arabhi] vconfig add eth0 5 WARNING: Could not open /proc/net/vlan/config. Maybe you need to load the 8021q module, or maybe you are not using PROCFS??

If not, they will not be delivered to the VLAN device in Linux. Try this: add vlan with VID 5 to the switch, IP addr: 10.10.1.2 add vlan with VID 5 to the Linux box, IP addr: 10.10.1.3 You should be able to ping between them, and sniffing the vlan eth0.5 device on the linux box should show traffic. This assumes that your eth0 interface is on a different subnet, perhaps 192.168.1.3.... Once that works, you can move on to arp-filter stuff.
