http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=534032 Summary: vlan naming conventions and ifup scripts Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: diego.ercolani@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; it; rv:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009080200 SUSE/3.0.13-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.13 I saw in the OpenSuSE 11.2 if you want to use VLANs (802.1q) you have to manually prepare a configuration file in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-vlanNNNN where NNNN is the vlan number. In setup script (ifup-802.1q) there is a cabled configuration: vconfig set_name_type vlan_plus_vid_no_pad My issue is that in this manner the naming convention have that the vlan interface is named vlanNNNN where NNNN is the VLAN number, this probably simplifies scripts but: What happen if I want to assign 2 interfaces (e.g. eth0 and eth1) to a particular VLAN (for example 99)? Normally I would create 2 vlan interfaces: `vconfig add eth0 99` that creates interface eth0.99 `vconfig add eth1 99` that creates interface eth1.99 with the suse setup this condition is impossible you can have only one interface per vlan. For the naming convention is possible to set the name of the vlan interface using `ip link set DEVICE alias ALIASNAME dev REALNAME`, you can ever find the correspondance to the real interface using the proc entry: /proc/net/vlan/config so using of aliases could be very useful. Please note that alias name can be normally only up to 15 characters. In the configuration of openSuSE interfaces you can use the vaiable NAME to set up the name of the interface, it should be the variable to use to setup the alias name of the vlan interface I think.... Another question: how to use vlan using networkmanager?
