| 1 | # Using VLANs on Debian | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | **Note:** For newer distributions you should consider using [Open vSwitch](https://sebastian.marsching.com/wiki/Linux/OpenVSwitch) as it much more powerful. | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | In order to use Linux VLAN support with Debian (Etch) you first have to install the `vlan` package. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | VLAN interfaces (like other interfaces) are managed in '/etc/network/interfaces'. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | Example: | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | auto eth1 | ||
| 12 | iface eth1 inet static | ||
| 13 | address 192.168.0.1 | ||
| 14 | netmask 255.255.255.0 | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | auto eth1.7 | ||
| 17 | iface eth1.7 inet manual | ||
| 18 | up ip link set dev eth1.7 up | ||
| 19 | up ip -f inet6 addr flush dev eth1.7 | ||
| 20 | down ip link set dev eth1.7 down | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | This example will configure the interface eth1 with a static IPv4 address and create an interface for VLAN 7 (on eth1) which does not have any IP addresses. The line `up ip -f inet6 addr flush dev eth1.7` removes the automatically configured link-local IPv6 address. |
