-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``.
+IEEE 802.1q_, often referred to as Dot1q, is the industry standard for
+implementing VLANs on Ethernet networks. It defines VLAN tagging for
+Ethernet frames and outlines procedures for bridges and switches. The
+standard also includes quality-of-service prioritization (IEEE 802.1p)
+and defines the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol.
+
+VLAN-aware network segments (i.e., IEEE 802.1q_ conformant) use VLAN tags.
+When a frame enters such a segment, a tag is added to indicate VLAN membership.
+Each frame can belong to only one VLAN. If a frame arrives without a tag, it
+is assumed to be part of the native VLAN.

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> vif <vlan-id>
- Create a new VLAN interface on interface `<interface>` using the VLAN number
- provided via `<vlan-id>`.
+ **Configure a VLAN interface with a unique VLAN ID.**
+
+ VLAN ID identifies a specific VLAN and ranges from 0 to 4094.
- You can create multiple VLAN interfaces on a physical interface. The VLAN ID
- range is from 0 to 4094.
+ You can configure multiple VLAN interfaces on a single physical interface.
.. note:: Only 802.1Q-tagged packets are accepted on Ethernet vifs.
