Hi
I'm wondering is anybody using double vlans ("q-in-q",
"vlan stacking", any name you like) on production hosts?
Does it play well with common ethernet device drivers in freebsd
(concerning the frame size) - fxp, em, for example?
Looks like that almost nobody mentions q-in-q in freebsd maillists/forums,
except that nesting ng_vlan can be used to implement it.
At the the end of the message there's an example of initialization
sequence that we try to use. It's rather straightforward but maybe
someone can criticize it or drop a hint how to do it the right way.
Thanks,
Ivan
