Hi all Does anybody manage to make netgraph node to do VLAN multiplexing ? Yes, I know, freebsd kernel have now supporting for VLAN's (pseudo-device vlan), but it have number of disadvantages: - fixed number of vlan interfaces - vlanX pseudo-interfaces don't support netgraph'ing, so I can't bridge two VLANs using ng_bridge - fixed vlanX interfaces numbering, so if I want use VLANs from 320 to 340, so I can use interfaces vlan0 - vlan20, but if I use VLANs with ID's 1-20 it will be confusing. If I want interface names vlan320-vlan340, I need to specify in kernel 340 vlan interfaces. But contrary in netgraph scheme I can name interface connected to 802dotQ node hook vlan320 as, for example, vlan340 without any problem. -- TSB Russian Express, Moscow Vladimir B.
