Configure VLANs (Linux)

1. Ensure that the i40e module is loaded.

   # modprobe i40e
   

2. Plumb the adapter's interface.

   # ifconfig eth6 ipv6addressup
   

   where ipv6address is the IP address of the interface.

3. Add the VID.

   For example:

   # vconfig add eth6 5
   

   where eth6 is the interface, and 5 is the VID.

   ---

   Note - In Linux systems, you can use any single digit as the VID.

   ---

4. Configure the i40e VLAN (eth6 in this example).

   # ifconfig eth6.5 <ipv6address> up
   

   where ipv6address is the IP address of the interface.
