If by that you mean 802.1q trunking, then yes.
ls it reliable?
Seems to be in my experience, but that's only limited so far.
how can I do it?
Create multiple ifcfg files in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, e.g. for
multiple VLANs on eth0: ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0.2 ifcfg-eth0.100
The number after the decimal is the VLAN id (default (1), 2 and 100 respectively above). In each file, add VLAN=yes. And
don't forget to
turn on trunking on the switch to which you're attached.
The network
startup scripts will then do the right thing.
Are the details documented somewhere?
Yep: /usr/share/doc/initscripts-<yourversion>/sysconfig.txt
Is vlan 1 always native (untagged) or can you specify that? I remember having some problem with Intel NICs on windows not liking native packets at all if any were tagged but I don't know if that was a hardware or software issue.
I'm not sure about the vlan 1/untagged nature; it "just worked" here, and might have something to do with the configuration of the switch you're connecting to.
