[Arthur Khachatryan <arthur.khachatryan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Alex and all members.

 

I did it. VLAN on my station worked. Just I need for two VLAN configured stations to be interacted between.

Everything worked fine.

Thanks.

 

Sincerely,

Arthur.

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.

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,
