+IEEE 802.1q, often referred to as Dot1q, is the networking standard that supports
+virtual LANs (VLANs) on an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet network. The standard defines a
+system of VLAN tagging for Ethernet frames and the accompanying procedures to be
+used by bridges and switches in handling such frames. The standard also contains
+provisions for a quality-of-service prioritization scheme commonly known as IEEE
+802.1p and defines the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol.
+
+Portions of the network which are VLAN-aware (i.e., IEEE 802.1q conformant) can
+include VLAN tags. When a frame enters the VLAN-aware portion of the network, a
+tag is added to represent the VLAN membership. Each frame must be distinguishable
+as being within exactly one VLAN. A frame in the VLAN-aware portion of the network
+that does not contain a VLAN tag is assumed to be flowing on the native VLAN.
+
+The standard was developed by IEEE 802.1, a working group of the IEEE 802
+standards committee, and continues to be actively revised. One of the notable
+revisions is 802.1Q-2014 which incorporated IEEE 802.1aq (Shortest Path Bridging)
+and much of the IEEE 802.1d standard.
+
+802.1q VLAN interfaces are represented as virtual sub-interfaces in VyOS. The
+term used for this is ``vif``.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> vif <vlan-id>
+
+ Create a new VLAN interface on interface `<interface>` using the VLAN number
+ provided via `<vlan-id>`.
+
+ You can create multiple VLAN interfaces on a physical interface. The VLAN ID
+ range is from 0 to 4094.
+
+ .. note:: Only 802.1Q-tagged packets are accepted on Ethernet vifs.
+
+ Example:
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+ set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} vif 10
+
+.. cmdinclude:: ../_include/interface-address-with-dhcp.txt
