Hi Sven, >> What I do NOT want is to have names like eth0.60 for vlan.60 incoming >> on interface eth0. Because if I decide it would be better to have >> vlan60 come in on eth1 I would have to rename all (firewall, etc.) >> scripts that refer to that name.
>> What I would like to have is names like eth0, eth1, eth2, vlan-staff, >> vlan-internet, etc. > All answers you seek are provided in vlan-interfaces(5). Example: > > iface vlan60 inet static > vlan-raw-device eth0 > address 192.168.1.1 > netmask 255.255.255.0 > According to the wiki page http://wiki.defcon.no/guides/debian/vlan the vlan-raw-device stanza will be gone in Wheezy. That means the setup as you showed, and that I intended to use, is not possible. Bonno Bloksma
