VCONFIG(8)							    VCONFIG(8)

NAME
       vconfig - VLAN (802.1q) configuration program.

SYNOPSIS
       vconfig [lots of long options]

DESCRIPTION
       The  vconfig  program allows you to create and remove vlan-devices on a
       vlan enabled kernel. Vlan-devices are virtual  ethernet	devices	 which
       represents the virtual lans on the physical lan.

OPTIONS
       add [interface-name] [vlan-id]
	      Creates	a   vlan-device	 on  [interface-name].	The  resulting
	      vlan-device will be called according to the  nameing  convention
	      set.

       rem [vlan-device]
	      Removes the named vlan-device.

       set_flag [vlan-device] 0 | 1
	      When  1,	ethernet  header  reorders  are turned on. Dumping the
	      device will appear as a common ethernet  device  without	vlans.
	      When  0(default)	however,  ethernet  headers are not reordered,
	      which results in vlan tagged packets when	 dumping  the  device.
	      Usually the default gives no problems, but some packet filtering
	      programs might have problems with it.

       set_egress_map [vlan-device] [skb-priority] [vlan-qos]
	      This flags that outbound packets with a particular  skb-priority
	      should be tagged with the particular vlan priority vlan-qos. The
	      default vlan priority is 0.

       set_ingress_map [vlan-device] [skb-priority] [vlan-qos]
	      This flags that inbound packets with the particular vlan	prior‐
	      ity  vlan-qos  should  be queued with a particular skb-priority.
	      The default skb-priority is 0.

       set_name_type VLAN_PLUS_VID |  VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD  |  DEV_PLUS_VID  |
       DEV_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD
	      Sets  the way vlan-device names are created. Use vconfig without
	      arguments to see the different formats.

       NOTES  VLAN will use Broadcom's NICE interface when the network	device
	      supports	it.  This  is necessary, since usually the hardware of
	      these devices already removes the vlan  tag  from	 the  ethernet
	      packet.  The  set_flag  option on vlan-devices created on such a
	      physical network device  will  be	 ignored.   Dumping  the  net‐
	      work-device will show only untagged(non-vlan) traffic, and dump‐
	      ing the vlan-devices will only show traffic  intended  for  that
	      vlan, without the tags.
