You can create a bridge from a pair of vlan devices.... # ifconfig vlan1 create # ifcconfig vlan2 create # ifconfig bridge0 create # ifconfig vlan1 vlan 1 vlandev em0 # ifconfig vlan2 vlan 2 vlandev em0 # ifconfig bridge0 addm vlan1 addm vlan2 Is that more in line with what you want to do? I'm a little curious what problem set using a bridge as the parent of a vlan solves though.
