VLAN Configuration and Parameters
Note
If you want to configure VLANs for an adapter, all traffic on the
adapter has to be handled by VLANs. Mixing VLAN interfaces with
non VLAN interfaces connected to the same adapter (or one adapter
port in case of Dual Net mode) is not allowed! A different adapter
can be configured as a non VLAN adapter at the same time.
The complete configuration is executed in the file /kernel/drv/skge.conf.
A sample file can be found at this location after the normal driver
installation process without VLAN parameters.
There are two possibilites to configure VLANs for an adapter:
❑ Use the script skge_vlan_config.
❑ Edit the configuration file /kernel/drv/skge.conf manually.
Note
We recommend to use the script! It is much easier than the manual
configuration.
VLAN
Configuration
Using Script
skge_vlan_congif
The script skge_vlan_config was copied into the directory /usr/sbin
during driver installation.
Note
You have to be logged in as user 'root' to execute it.
With this script you are able to configure the AT-2971T/SX Gigabit
Ethernet Adapter previously installed on the system for VLAN support.
To configure VLANs using skge_vlan_config, perform the following
procedure:
1. Before you start the script, you have to find out the instance
number(s) of the adapter(s) you want to configure as VLANS.
List all network interfaces with:
ifconfig -a
2. Search for interfaces named skge0, skge1 and so on. The according
IP address will show you the correct adapter. The value of
<number> in the interface name skge<number> reflects the
instance number of the adapter:
