-VLAN (802.1q)
--------------
-
-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.
-
-802.1a VLAN interfaces are represented as virtual sub-interfaces in VyOS. The
-term used for this is ``vif``. Configuration of a tagged sub-interface is
-accomplished using the configuration command:
-``set interfaces ethernet <name> vif <vlan-id>``
-
-To assign a vif 100 using the VLAN 100 tag to physical interface eth1 use:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 description 'VLAN 100'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 address '192.168.100.1/24'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 address '2001:db8:100::1/64'
-
-Resulting in:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- ethernet eth1 {
- address 192.168.100.1/24
- address 2001:db8:100::1/64
- description INSIDE
- duplex auto
- hw-id 00:53:29:44:3b:19
- smp_affinity auto
- speed auto
- vif 100 {
- address 192.168.100.1/24
- description "VLAN 100"
- }
- }
-
-VLAN interfaces are shown as `<name>.<vlan-id>`, e.g. `eth1.100`:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces
- Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down
- Interface IP Address S/L Description
- --------- ---------- --- -----------

- eth1 192.168.0.1/24 u/u INSIDE
- eth1.100 192.168.100.1/24 u/u VLAN 100
