Hi all
As one of Switzerland largest ISP's requires pppoe with vlan tagging for
fiber connections, I wondered if vlan tagging could get supported in the
network scripts.
As I found out via https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VLAN, one can
create a tagged VLAN using
ip link add link $REAL_IFACE name $VLAN_IFACE type vlan id $VLAN_ID
, so I guess this could be implemented by
- checking for $VLAN_IFACE and $VLAN_ID being set
- checking for $VLAN_ID and $REAL_IFACE (in which case IFACE then holds
the $VLAN_IFACE)
The latter would probably be more consistent with other network stuff,
where iface always holds the resulting interface, and not the physical one.
I could add this to /lib/services/pppoe, if anyone else cares. I'm not
sure if, apart from pppoe, anyone else is interested in vlan stuff. I'm
not even sure /lib/services/pppoe is still in blfs....
If yes, I could also add this to ipv4-static and dhcpcd.
Bye
Tim
