Dont be fooled by the interface name, vlan10 doesnt have to have the tag of 10. A nice way to do it is use the vlan automatic creation, create the interfaces em0.1, em0.2, em0.3, [...] em1.1, em1.2, em1.3, [...] and the tag and parent will get set up for you. ifconfig em0.1 create ifconfig em0.2 create ifconfig em0.3 create and so on. cheers, Andrewhome | help
