VH> what command are you using exactly? it certainly works here. After enough tinkering around, I've found the issue. Looks like I need to issue a "ifconfig bce0 -vlanhwtag" command to the interface before issuing the vlan "ifconfig bce0.10 create" command. Surprisingly, it looks like I can issue a "ifconfig bce0 vlanhwtag" command afterwards, and everything is good. Very weird. But I'm happy I found a work around for the time being. R. --
