[opensuse] Configure nic card on 2 vlans on boot
Hello, I configured my nic card to be 2 seperate vlans with vconfig so now that card is connected to vlan 1 and vlan 2 but the problem is i don't know how to configure suse's nic settings in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg* to automatically configure the nic on both vlans on boot. Is this possible? Anyone have any examples? Thanks, Jake -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Just set up each card in YaST.
Thanks, Jake

I don't see any features in YaST that will let me configure the card
to be on separate vlans. I'm using the standard way of configuration,
am I not seeing something there to configure vlans with YaST?
Thanks,

I think you're a bit confused here. A VLAN is configured in a switch, so that some ports belong to one VLAN or another. The packets are tagged, so that other switches can recognize which VLAN is the destination. I don't believe you can do that in Yast. What it does support, is multiple IP addresses, so that a NIC can be in different sub nets on the same physical network. Is that what you're referring to? -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Not really.

Indeed. However it's perfectly possible to set up a jumbo-frame capable NIC with vlans under linux, using vconfig. Doing it manually does have a rather steep learning curve though. I spent some time tinkering with it a couple of years ago, and I did eventually get a test setup working. Sadly I've all but completely forgotten the hows and whys. What the OP is asking about is how to do it through YaST.
I don't believe you can do that in Yast.
Me neither, but it *would* be a nice addition.

No. That's something else. /jon -- YMMV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think you just have to create separate file for vlan named as ifcfg-vlan#. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
