VLAN Setup
This section describes the necessary procedures to configure an IB host to
communicate with an Ethernet host(s), both hosts using VLAN tags.

Host Interface Configuration
1. On a Linux Host, use the vconfig command to assign the interface in the
ics_inic.cfg file to VLAN 11 (using the example in figure 4-30). Assume
that the ics_inic file contains the line:
{CREATE; NAME="eioc2";
PRIMARY={IOCGUID=0x66a02e1000110; INSTANCE=1; PORT=1; }
}
and ics_inic has been started (/etc/init.d/ics_inic start).
2. Using the vconfig command, create an interface in VLAN 11:
vconfig add eioc2 11
This creates an interface named eioc2.11 that sends/receives packets with
a VLAN tag of 11.
Make certain there is an
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eioc2.11 file, as well as
the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eioc2 (on some
kernels the name of the directory will be /etc/sysconfig/network instead
of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts). For the remainder of this section,
assume that the IP address of eioc2.11 is 172.26.48.25.
