VLAN Tagging

Solaris 10 VLAN Tagging

During VLAN configuration, you have to specify the physical point of attachment, or PPA, of the VLAN. You obtain the PPA value by using this formula:

Interface (driver name) + VID * 1000 + device instance

For example for interface ce1 to configure on vlan 456

ce + 456 * 1000 + 1 = ce456001

ifconfig ce456001 plumb 10.0.0.2 up

Create hostname.interface-ppa so that the information is persistent across the reboot

cat hostname.ce456001
10.0.0.2

Verify the interface information
