Bug 13281

Summary: Support for VLANs missing?
Product: Base System Reporter: ji <ji>
Component: kernAssignee: Garrett Wollman <wollman>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: 3.2-STABLE   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description ji 1999-08-21 06:10:01 UTC 
	There is kernel support for 802.1Q VLANs (net/if_vlan.c,
net/if_vlan_var.h, code depending on NVLAN being defined in various
drivers), but no documentation, user-level programs, or even a config
line in i386/conf/LINT.  This being the -STABLE and not the -CURRENT
release, is there a point in committing unsupported code?  Did the
maintainer forget to also commit the associated user-level program and
man pages?

	Also, is support for cisco ISL VLANs planned?

Fix: 

n/a	

Thanks,

/ji

No.  Upgrade to IOS 12.

Mr Wollman brought the code into STABLE, perhaps he knows more about 
plans to make it "stable". ;-)

Just an aside: "Upgrade to IOS 12" isn't a very helpful response, as ISL
tagging provides huge (albeit non-standard) benefits over 802.1q...
Spanning tree per VLAN, for example.  even though we use > IOS 12, we
still use ISL.  If development COULD start on ISL, it would be terrific.
