If you're asking how to support vlans in FreeBSD, add lines like these to rc.conf: cloned_interfaces="vlan0" ifconfig_bce1="inet 0.0.0.0" ifconfig_vlan0="vlan 250 vlandev bce1" ifconfig_vlan0_alias0="inet 161.53.72.23 netmask 255.255.255.0" This has worked for me in 6.2 and 6.3. Hardware VLAN filtering is supported in both 6.x and 7.x (at least in bce driver; look for VLAN_HWTAGGING flag in ifconfig). > 2. > Second issue - is there way of enabling TSO on vlan interfaces? I've asked that question about a week ago on network developers mailing list and the answer was that it could be done but it's not yet implemented (i.e. using VLANs in any way effectively disables TSO).
