NAME

ifcfg-vlan - virtual LAN interface configuration

SYNOPSIS

/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-vlan*

Virtual LANs (802.1q)

To setup a vlan interface you need a configuration file ifcfg-vlan<X> with the usual network settings. Additionally there must be the variable ETHERDEVICE that contains the real interface for the virtual LAN. The real interface will be set UP automatically and doesn't need a config file. (But without a config file YaST will consider this interface as unused. To avoid that just provide and empty config file for it.)

When you specify the etherdevice in your configuration, you should preferrably use a hardware description instead of interface names since interface names are not always persistent. See explanation of hardware descriptions in section DESCRIPTION above.

Example that sets up vlan3 on top of eth0:

ifcfg-vlan3


   STARTMODE=onboot

   ETHERDEVICE=eth0

   IPADDR=192.168.3.27/24

The configuration of routes for this kind of interface does not differ from ordinary interfaces. See man routes for details.
