Setting up VLANs under SuSE 8.0
I've recently bought 2 Allied Telesyn AT-2930T cards for one of my linux servers. I decided that AT-2930T is the right type of card for me because it has VLAN support built-in. I have installed the driver from the CD but I discovered that there are no instructions however about setting up VLANs on Linux. I was thinking I will find some utility like Intel's ANS. But there was none. I've tried with vlan utility tool but it won't work with those NICs. My guess is that if the NICs are not configured correctly regarding VLAN parameters, it will not work. Not to add that using vlan-utils will render my "hardware-VLAN-aware-card" facility useless. I'm still waiting for a reply from AT support mail system. Any thoughts? Ideeas? What to do? Anyone had any frightful experiences like mine? Thank you, Silviu

Check http://lartc.org and look for resources ( sorry I can not give direct URL as for a week now surfing the Internet has been a pain due to the earthquake in Algeria almost 80 % of the Internet connection of Turkey is cut out. Any way check the resourses there are at least two for VLAN's and also the packages you installed from the CD should have documentation yet ( wild quess) the cards might not have vlan-tag support under Linux -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
