hi every body i wanna configure a freebsd box as a switch. in order to do that, i bridged all my interfaces to have switching and it works fine. after that i want to have vlans on it. as you know, in a real switch, a vlan is configured just by assigning a port to it without any additional configuration and vlans are submitted just by name. but in freebsd a vlan just works when it has an ip address (i think). when i define vlan121 on two freebsd systems with ip address it works fine but without ip address i don't know how it should be worked. can sombody tell me if it is possible to simulate vlans in freebsd as they are in a real switch? i mean can we have vlans without ip addresses which works fine? maybe some kind of vlan which works by MAc address. is it possible? it's so necessary for me to do that:( yours, motlagh
