Hi Alex,
Thank you for your reply. I have configured the VLAN.
For now by typing ifconfig I see eth0.4 and eth0.5 interfaces I have
created. I do a ping from my Windows PC to Linux board's eth0.4 and
eth0.5 IP's. I am getting the ping responces but I don't see the Rx/Tx
statistics changes for both interfaces. In my configuration the eth0,
eth0.4 and eth0.5 interfaces have the same MAC addresses. Somewhere in
inet I have read that I should bind MAC addresses for each VLAN
to receive/transmit frames on that interfaces. So as I understood I have
You could. But you don't have to. There's nothing wrong with having vlan
devices with the same MAC address as the underlying device. In fact, it's
better, as the vlan module doesn't need to put the underlying device, eth0,
into promsic mode.
to install macvlan_config application too. By trying to make the
macvlan_config application In my Linux it gives error because there is
no if_macvlan.h file in /include/linux directory. Could you help me
please on this matter?
If you just want devices that can send and receive frames with 802.1q VIDs,
you do not need to use MAC address based VLANs. Use vconfig. macvlan_config
is probably not what you need.
HTH,
Alex
I will be very appreciate if you'll send me the if_macvlan.h file I
couldn't find in inet.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Arthur.

Hi Arthur,
The message means that the vlan module has been inserted into your
kernel.
This has no effect until the vconfig tool is used to create vlan
devices.
See "man vconfig" for how this works.
But before you start manually creating vlan devices its worth
checking if
you have a distro that will do it all for you.
For example in redhat/fedora you can edit
"/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.10" in the same way you edit
"/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0". The ifup/ifdown scripts
will
parse the filename, and infer from it that they need to use vconfig
to create/delete
a vlan device which sends vlan frames with VID 10 over eth0.
In debian/ubuntu you just install the "vlan" package with "apt-get
install vlan".
Then you can create stanzas in "/etc/network/interfaces" for eth0.10
in exactly
the same way you create stanzas for eth0. The
"/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/vlan"
and "/etc/network/if-post-down.d/vlan" scripts parse the device name
and figure out
what they need to do.
Easy!
