Yes - you have a physical base interface and configure virtual ones attached to that. This is used quite ofter and tested very well. See ifconfig manpage about VLAN configuration. But as I already said - you need a switch, which understands VLAN tags. You also need a physical interface which is capable of trasfering oversized Packets, VLAN_MTU feature listed in ifconfig -m. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de support@fizon.de
