Package: iproute Version: 20080725-2 Severity: normal hi,
The complete configuration and removing of vlan and veth devices with ip is undocumented. This interfaces is especially nice because it does not enforce a fixed naming convention on vlan interfaces like vconfig (which is already deprecated by it's developers[0]). create vlan: # ip link add link eth0 name dmz100 type vlan id 100 remove vlan: # ip link del dev dmz100 supported parameters by type=vlan: # ip link add type vlan help Usage: ... vlan id VLANID [ FLAG-LIST ] [ ingress-qos-map QOS-MAP ] [ egress-qos-map QOS-MAP ] VLANID := 0-4095 FLAG-LIST := [ FLAG-LIST ] FLAG FLAG := [ reorder_hdr { on | off } ] QOS-MAP := [ QOS-MAP ] QOS-MAPPING QOS-MAPPING := FROM:TO there is also a type veth (maybe openvz's veth device?) Would be nice to have this in the doku of ip link help [0]: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg77014.html michael -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (991, 'unstable'), (500, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-grml64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.iso885915, LC_CTYPE=en_US.iso885915 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages iproute depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.6 4.6.21-4 Berkeley v4.6 Database Libraries [ Versions of packages iproute recommends: ii libatm1 2.4.1-17.1 shared library for ATM (Asynchrono Versions of packages iproute suggests: pn iproute-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
